My flight from London to Oulu was long but super easy. I am not sure what happens with suitcases, but they just seem to get heavier and heavier despite minimal – hmmm maybe I did go a bit overboard with Fiona’s jam in Paris – shopping. I have been in and out of London a few times and have stayed at the very convenient Kings Cross Hub so I left half the bags there and would be mightily pleased if I don’t see them again (jam also decanted and I think my sister might want that).
I like the Hubs – tiny rooms, but fantastically creative storage and the most comfortable beds you could ever sleep in. London is not the cheapest city in the world so for the convenience of being so central they are fabulous. I have stayed in Goodge Street a few times and just love Fitzrovia, but think I might have found my new favourite address. This time I stayed just down the side of King’s Cross. Really convenient as an easy 5-minute walk to the station so has been simple to go in different directions. The area is growing and is so fascinating.
It seemed silly to have to do a cab and then the Heathrow Express so just jumped on the Piccadilly Line straight to Heathrow. Once we got out of the main tube stations it was fine – off to the land of Santa and reindeers
