After 3 or 4 laps around east London at 10,000 feet, we made into Heathrow about 45 minutes late. There was a big crowd at Immigration but it didn't take that long all things considered. Collected our bags, straight out through Customs and onto the Heathrow Express for a 15 minute non-stop train to Paddington. From there it was only a short walk to the Tudor Court Hotel where we will be staying for the next four nights.
The Tudor Court is one of the many old private hotels that are all over London. We picked this one because of its proximity to Paddington Station and because it had reasonable reviews on TripAdvisor. We have a nice little first floor en-suite room at the back (which means that there is no view but also no street noise) and on first impressions, it lives up to its reviews.
It is getting near 6.30 pm local time so it is time we went and got some dinner before we crash...
Glad to hear you've arrived safely (before any ash trouble from the latest Icelandic eruption) Hope you both have a great time in London and beyond
