1st night in London...




After a day long London City Tour,I had visitors in the form of Rosalind & Watson. They went to the hotel I was staying in, Holiday Inn Kensington Forum,Cromwell Road & we went for a walk. The sky was still bright even at 9.30pm. We met up with Rosanne & Jon-Neal & we went to a a nearby Burger King. London does not seem to sleep at all. I could not sleep as well even though I was pretty tired because my mind was working out its own plan of what to do through out the extra 5 short days that I had in London. Even in my sleeping mode I worked out the things to do & places to visit.I highly recommend this hotel;it's near to almost all the attractions in London,reachable by the underground Tube. Gloucester Road Stn is just next door to the hotel & most importantly Waitrose supermarket,Tesco & plenty more shops are around the corner. If you care to walk further up,there is Harrods & other chains of shops. The Science Museum is just 5 minutes walk from the hotel.
How much does it cost? The room rate that we paid was RM700/- per room per night. It's almost the same rate as most hotels in S'pore. Enhanced English breakfast is also included. You have to book the room well in advance to get the good rate otherwise if you are a walk-in guest,you might end up paying Sterling Pounds 250/-per night.
...will continue later...time for 2020. Again? No, yesterday I ended up at Seng Guan for the chicken rice.
