Too funny, I did a search function and your post popped up. I am going to London in July 2019....soon! also staying at Vancouver Suites! I was there 3 years ago but have forgotten how I got from Heathrow to Paddington Station. I believe that's what I did before, took the Heathrow Express to Paddington then grabbed a taxi. Also at Paddington I bought an Oyster Card and a SIM card at the Vodaphone store which I hope is still there!Hi, I have a question about best way to get to our hotel from Heathrow. We are staying at the ST recommended Vancouver Suites, 30 Prince's Square, London W2 4NJ, UK. I am inclined to take the tube, I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you
Hi Wendy! My sister and I have reservations for "Prosecco Tea" at the V&A on Friday July 12th. We will probably get to the V&A when they open and spend time there before our "tea".Hello,
Chipping in here as I noticed lots of visitors in London were still using Oyster cards. I use contactless as that's cheaper. Maybe Oysters are part of the London Pass ?
Afternoon tea and the V and A are a good combination in my experience as there are many hotels in the area offering a low key " afternoon tea". You don't need to book weeks or even months in advance as you would at Claridges for example.
For a modern version you could chose The Ampersand Hotel;
Dining in London | Restaurants in South Kensington | Afternoon Tea
The Ampersand prides itself on serving some of the best food and drink in Kensington. From fine dinning to Mediterranean cuisine we have something to tickle everyone's taste buds!ampersandhotel.com
The Draycott; https://www.draycotthotel.com/
offers a traditional version of afternoon tea as well as " themed " versions like this week's RHS Chelsea.
Reservations required at both.
