Hi everyone,
I just booked a trip to London for my DW and myself! We are so excited!! We will be there this coming July 21-27, staying at The Trafalgar Hotel in the Covent Garden area.
This is my fourth trip to London, but the last was about 20 years ago, so I am sure a lot has changed. It's DW's first trip. We are aware of the major sites and will do a few tours, but we haven't planned anything specific yet.
So, UKers, what are some great local spots, things we shouldn't miss, good restaurants, best way to get theatre tickets, etc. I am also curious as to where we should go running - one of the parks, on the streets, etc.
Also, I did not reserve private transportation from Heathrow yet. Any idea on the best way to go? I wouldn't be opposed to the train, but if any of you are in the know, what should a taxi cost? Is it better to book a car service ahead of time, or can we just grab a cab at the airport.
Oh, and one more thing, I have never been to Stonehenge, and would love to visit this trip. Any thoughts on the best way to do this?
Thanks!
