Day 2: July 26, 2025
What an action-packed first day!
We met at Heathrow, and without much more ado, headed to our hotel. Our driver, Gordon, is from Wales and was very welcoming. At the hotel we dropped our bags and headed to the East Croydon train station. From here we took a train straight to Victoria Station in the city, and then took the London Underground like the locals do. We then had some free time for lunch and stretching at Covent Garde, one of London's most amazing places.
From here we took a walk to Trafalgar square, and here visited the National Gallery.
After, we took a walk past Piccadilly, Leicester square, and up Shaftesbury avenue. From here, we saw Chinatown, and walked through the lively Soho neighbourhood.
Dinner was fish and chips - of course!
After we took the trains all the way back to the hotel, for a well-earned rest.
