London trip

London

I am arranging my trip now. I have been to London many many many times with November as my last trip. So, I can help anyone with advice that needs help.

For example, airfare now is $1000 per person with the fuel and tax charges. It may go down in the next month or so but the problem is choice seats and choice flights. I pick my flights according to connection time, hubs, seat assignments, where the flight originiates from (so I wont miss connection) , comfort of coach seats (since that s all I can afford) and other variables.

Also, the hotels near Wembley are booked up almost all the good ones and the area isnt the greatest but some are still available.

The currency exchange is the worse it has been since I have been goingto London. I started in 1984 with pound at$ 1.35 and now it is over $2.00.

Hotels are very very expensive and no where need the size and comfort of american hotels but heck you just sleep there and I find something reasonable in price, good in location, and very basic for around $200 a night.

Another thing to consider is luggage since you will probably be toting it from place to place and if you are on budget and use the underground you have to remember the stairs.

Taxis are very very expensive. Car hire is a no no in london with congestion charges and traffic nightmare. I always hire outside of t london to travel but remember they drive on the diffferent side of road! Gas is about $8.00 a gallon. (Thier gallon is a bit larger called the imperial gallon)

Hope this helps. If you need questions answered let me know!! Hey, maybe I will take a tour group! LOL.
