Thanks to the new non stop flights to London by Norwegian Air, I have the chance of a trip of a lifetime.
We are going to London in Late September, and hope to take the train to Paris.
But the portion of the trip I am asking you about is the part in London.
It looks like the best thing to do after landing at Gatwick at 7am is to take a bus (or train?) into London. I am sure I will be exhausted, I have flown to Italy several times, but I always stayed with friends the day I arrived, so the problem is;
where can I go in the morning and be able to nap? Sounds like an Inn or an inexpensive hotel would be the best thing, at least for the first night. Where to stay? I have no intention of driving a car, am happy to take trains, buses, and trolleys everywhere; but I also don't want to be so far out that it's a 2 mile hike to get a meal.
I am thinking, after the first night, I would then try to find an AirBnB for the rest of my time in London, as costs are a huge consideration. If you could suggest some neighborhoods, then I could at least begin to investigate.
Thank you to anyone with experience that cares to respond.
