London Landings

Flew into Heathrow and thought we would have a struggle to get into London to our flat, but our host had given great instructions and the underground was seamless. Our little studio flat in Lambeth North is beautiful and well positioned for everything. A quick cuppa and we are off exploring - only a short walk to the Thames and South Bank and all those stereotypical views of London. An early night.

We booked theatre tickets on the net and have to pick them up at Piccadilly Circus - onto the underground again, we have Oyster cards (underground passes - top up and swipe)  and they are quick and easy to use. Into town and a quick pickup then a wander around the area; Oxford Street, Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square, St Martins in the Field and the Queens Horse Guards - people, buskers, traffic and experience overload - it's time for home.

That night we headed back in by Underground and then it's a two minute walk to the theatre for Jersey Boys - of course we were in the nose bleed stalls but it was great, great music and great storyline.

It was still bustling when we came out and so we decided on a walk home across the Jubilee bridge, past the London Eye, Big Ben and all the beautiful buildings lit up and through South Bank and Waterloo to the studio. A busy but great day and evening.
