I spent my first day just checking out the neighborhood.
Traveler"Dirty chips" and coffee at the pub opposite the Gunnersbury Tube station near where I was staying. I asked for a cheese toasted sandwich but they don't do those. The cheese sauce was spicy hot and very tasty.
TravelerI never did get to visit Chiswick House and its big gardens, but I thought this kid's illustration on the wall of a building site near where I was staying was really cute!
TravelerThe single most useful photo I took! I often struggled with the steps at Tube stations so the bus was my preferred mode of transport. This bus stop was near where I stayed and being able to refer to this photo to know which bus would take me home was a wonderful time-saver. I had the Transport for London app on my phone, which was also a big help, but using apps chewed through battery time.
