The Royal Family, afternoon tea, too Harry Potter mightiness last a few thoughts that come upward to hear when London, England, is mentioned. But yous mightiness too intend of how expensive a proper English linguistic communication opor-garai must be. Luckily, Denise Manecke discovered a means to run across all of London’s sites that saved coin too time.


“I arrived at roughly 7am, which I believe was 1am inwards Kentucky, too I wanted to conduct maintain a nap,” says Denise, recalling her offset moments subsequently landing inwards London inwards Oct 2015. “The (friends that traveled amongst me) that were amongst me told me it’s best to only exit too most every bit presently every bit possible too and thus caput to bed early on to instruct adjusted to the fourth dimension change. We checked into the hotel, they stowed our luggage, too I freshened upward amongst my carry-on items, too thus nosotros striking the city. Once flush came, I was exhausted too got a skilful night’s slumber for the side past times side few days of sightseeing.”



Denise knew precisely where she wanted to view during her trip, every bit she had researched sites on her reckoner earlier her journeying began. That’s how she constitute a transcend that had large advantages. “I am a crazy cyberspace query mortal when I am most to conduct maintain a trip, too I wanted to run across all the normal tourist sites,” she says. “So I got the London Pass that allowed me to run across all of the sites.”

Purchasing a London Pass gives sightseers a choice of to a greater extent than than sixty attractions, museums, too tours at a discount amongst the privilege of non having to expression inwards lines. The entry fees to the sites too transportation costs are included inwards the cost of the pass. “With the pass, yous tin terminate purpose the double-decker bus that yous tin terminate grab correct exterior the hotel,” Denise says. “The transcend too helped out amongst the lines because yous instruct to instruct inwards a carve upward line. When nosotros went to the Windsor Castle, at that topographic point was a describe some the building, but nosotros got to skip all that too walked correct in.

What I too liked most the transcend was that it allowed yous to produce things yous may non conduct maintain had on your list. We got to instruct on a river cruise on the Thames too instruct nether all the bridges. There was too a cruise where yous could run across all the places the Harry Potter movies were filmed. The transcend too paid for my educate ride dorsum to the airport.”

(L-R) Denise dined at The Victoria; Harrods was started past times Charles Harrod inwards 1834 when he was 25 years old. Now, the subdivision store spans v acres too is ane of the world's most famous places to shop; The Harte too Garter Hotel & Spa inwards Windsor offers delicious afternoon tea.


Even without the London Pass, transportation is never a occupation when yous remain where Denise did. “I truly liked staying at the Hilton at Paddington Station,” she says. “I stayed amongst 2 other people, too nosotros had a suite that was separated thus that yous had your ain entrance too bathrooms. The hotel is correct off the educate station — it is truly a educate stop. You tin terminate conduct maintain a straight route from the airdrome to the hotel. When yous instruct off the train, yous instruct through the station, too yous are inwards the hotel.”

With the London Pass inwards mitt too transportation at your fingertips, you’re laid upward to run across all the sites that brand upward London’s history. Big Ben, the Tower of London, too the London Eye are e'er at the meridian of the list, but Denise wanted to brand certain she saw everything royal. “I love the Royal family,” she says. “We went to Kensington Palace too tried to sneak a painting at Westminster Abbey, where at that topographic point were tons of graves too memorials for the Royal occupation solid unit of measurement too priests whose headstones were sometimes nether our feet.” As the regal coronation church, Westminster Abbey encompasses the history of the United Kingdom behind its stained drinking glass too is the in conclusion resting house for several meaning people inwards history.

Denise stands close a guard inwards front end of Windsor Castle. 


Also on Denise’s listing of regal stops was Windsor Castle, where she had the best repast of her trip during afternoon tea. “We went for the 24-hour interval too enjoyed the countryside too the Windsor Castle every bit good every bit afternoon tea at The Harte too Garter Hotel too Spa,” she says. “I wasn’t a fan of the nutrient inwards London because it was thus unlike from what I am used to. The meat is different, too it is only a whole unlike palate, but afternoon tea at Windsor was real good.”

Clockwise: Denise went on the Thames River cruise -- ane of the best ways to run across all of London's famous attractions; the streets of Windsor, a town inwards England on the river Thames; Denise stands inwards front end of Abbey Road Studios where artists Amy Winehouse too Lady Gaga conduct maintain recorded music; Denise is inwards the middle of it all amongst London Eye, Big Ben, too Parliament inwards the background. 


Windsor Castle is the oldest too largest inhabited castle inwards the basis too has been a dwelling for kings too queens for hundreds of years. It is a residence for Queen Elizabeth, who spends most of her weekends there. It takes most 3 hours to tour this castle on the hill, thus comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

After immersing herself inwards all that is royal, Denise had ane to a greater extent than stop. “I had to instruct to Abbey Road where the painting for the Beatles’ album was taken,” she says. “I had my pump assault taking my painting crossing Abbey Road. I too wanted a painting of Abbey Road Studios because I am a large music mortal too thus many people conduct maintain played there. Recently, it was Lady Gaga.”

The famous Abbey Road photograph of the Beatles was taken past times Iain Macmillan too graced the screen of the group’s in conclusion album. It has since sparked a phenomenon of tourists speedily posing every bit they cross Abbey Road. (You don’t conduct maintain to instruct to London to scout a gaggle of tourists endeavour to instruct the perfect picture. The Abbey Road Crossing Cam streams a alive feed of this active crosswalk.)

It’s tardily to romanticize London amongst its well-preserved history, surrounding rolling countryside, too sophisticated royalty. It would last difficult non to experience similar a princess piece walking through the rooms of an erstwhile castle or similar a dearest stone star every bit yous flora your feet where legends ane time did. All yous ask to instruct at that topographic point is a ticket to ride.

Need ideas on a overnice weekend trip yous tin terminate conduct maintain earlier summertime ends? Think most visiting this place.
