Accommodation: Avonmore Hotel, Kensington
Duration of trip: 10 days
This was my first trip to London, England and it ended up being a “girlfriend getaway” of sorts. I travelled with my mother, sister, a friend of the family and stayed at the Avonmore Hotel in West Kensington. Excited to be in London for the first time, we were walking around every day and jam-packed out schedule to see as much as we could. The first couple of days had us visiting many of the famour tourist attractions: Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Sqaure, etc. The Original London Sightseeing Tour allowed us to visit these places quickly and efficiently. A trip to London wouldn’t be complete without seeing a West End play. I was finally able to see the Phantom of the Opera and also took the time to see Blood Brothers. This visit to London would not be my last for the City left such an impression on me that it has become my “favourite city in the world.”
During our stay, I went on a one day tour outside of London to visit the legendary Stonehenge, magical Glastonbury, and Avebury Stone Circle. The tour was operated by Astral Travels and was “Arthurian” in nature.
