A few pics from London

[zukracer]

I know you all like pics so here's a few. My plan today was to get up to a motorsports cafe but the weather is pure crap so I'm staying close to the hotel at the moment.
A nice day in the park

Nice pics.

Haven't been to that part of London for years.

Shame it's raining, China town, Soho, Oxford street, Piccadilly Circus, Leicester square, all within 2 miles of where you are.

Have fun.

LOL Yeah well over 1000 nights in almost 7yrs with them and being in their top tier loyalty program carries a few perks

I just looked, that room normally goes for 895GBP/night (~$1521 @current exchange rate) but even with points you would need 40k points (which I used) and 600 pounds (~$1020 USD) extra a night (that I wasnt charged). It was nice and the best service I've had in many years. Definitely hoping to get that room or a better one next time I'm back, I plan to bring the family for at least one trip Its right smack in the middle of tourist land too. If anyone was looking for a great hotel in the heart of it all, this would be on the list but its far from affordable
