Merton

After spending 27 hours travelling to London, I now understand why my wife says she will only fly to London in future if she flies business class. It was a torturous trip being stuck on a plane for more than 14 hours. We had a six-hour stopover in Singapore and explored the vast expanses of Changi Airport. It is enormous with its four terminals. Rob was impressed by the self-driving trains that took passengers between the terminals. We arrived at terminal 2 and had to depart from terminal 3, which was quite a distance.

We arrived early at Heathrow Airport, and our accommodation provider was happy to allow us to check in early. So we jumped on the train from Heathrow and used my City Mapper app to plan a route to our accommodation in SW16. Once we had dropped our bags, we went back into Central London on the Tube for a look at Piccadilly Circus, House of Parliament and Big Ben.

We collected some food at the supermarket on our way back to our accommodation and we were feeling really tired. I think we will have an early night’s sleep tonight.Læs mere
