The London sky in fall is good for travel. We landed in London. I remember Harrod’s, the famous department store. I also remember seeing the changing of the guards. Thirty plus years later, London is so much bigger now. I think it’s getting close to 10 million people there. I’ve never seen so many people in my life in one day.
To get from Heathrow Airport to your staying destination, I recommend a London cab. The cab drivers are “licensed”, take a lot of pride in ownership with their vehicle they purchase, and know all the major sites in London. They have to pass the test.
Why visit London in the fall?
The weather is formidable. It’s cooler than most south European cities. It’s also a great place for ragweed pollen sufferers around the world who can get some relief.
New Modern London Hotel
The Park Plaza Waterloo in London is a convenient hotel next to the London Underground subway system (the Tube). The hotel also has an Illy coffee café on property (and has tea bags in the room 🫖). It also is super modern looking in the room. When I stayed there, there were a lot of light features in the room to create mood of choice in your room. The hotel has a real modern vibe.
Every time I hear Waterloo, it makes me think of the snazzy
Abba song “Waterloo.”
My, my
At Waterloo, Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah
And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself
Waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo, promise to love you forevermore
Waterloo, couldn’t escape if I wanted to
Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo
The area is very close to the famous London Eye (large ferris wheel), that was referred to in the James Bond (Daniel Craig as 007) movie “Skyfall”… the London sky in fall.
And just a hop, skip and a jump from Covent Garden, a beautiful restaurant and shop area where they have free live performances in the square. Also a great place to go during Christmas season, even though it can be a “mad house” with all the visitors when it’ll feel like one of the most crowded places on this earth.
Picadilly Circus (like NY’s Times Square) is London’s most famous square and another popular area in London’s West End and Westminster area along the River Thames. You can check out all the hotels in London City Centre where so much is happening!
And the Great British Baking Show is back in fall to enjoy all of London!
