London England

We went to London from Paris (Gare du Nord) to see the Minnesota Vikings vs Pittsburgh Steelers game. We took the very comfortable Eurostar train and it took about two hours to reach London/St.Pancras train station.

We went sightseeing immediately taking the bus to Piccadilly Circus.

We stayed at the Mentone Hotel in London (which we walked to from St. Pancras in about 20 minutes) a very nice and friendly place to stay. A GREAT full English breakfast was offered and was really good.

We purchaed the www.theoriginaltour.com London bus tour and it was very good and efficient. We saw a good part of the tour but my main tourist attraction I wanted to see was The Tower of London, which I did.
