Gosh, I'd forgotten what it was like to have threads like this.  I'll enjoy reading about your trip, as you go along!

The hotel room looks really nice.

@CoffeeNut  Thanks for this; it's fun! I've been weeding and mulching all day and am so ready to vacation in London.

Yay - thanks for posting. I should start my Italy trip report - I should have done live; think it ends up being easier. Something to remember for next time.

I look forward to following your trip. Still haven’t gotten myself to London. (In an aside, I still fondly remember your Bogota report from years ago.)

@CoffeeNut   What is the name of the hotel?  Looks great!

@CoffeeNut ...thank you, thank you posting your travelogue.  I am enjoying so very much.  Never made it to London and now with a broken kneecap and an 84th birthday next week doubtful that I ever will.  Continue enjoying your trip ...sounds wonderful.

@CoffeeNut  I thought I recognized the hotel.  I stayed there years ago, probably in the late 1980's.  At the time it was called the Grosvenor Hotel.  As you said, it's in a great location, right next to Victoria Station (railroad) and so many things in walking distance.  As I view the hotel's website, the inside looks much nicer now.  It was a grand place when I visited and a wonderful experience, but it was badly worn-out.  It needed to be remodelled / spruced-up. 

Thank you for the memory!  I've often wondered about that place.

I look forward to following your London trip.

I was there several years ago chaperoning a high school trip of 44 students.  We stayed at a dorm during our stay. 

I remember as we walked thru the Carnaby Street area thinking the Beatles may have walked the same side of the street!

Have a wonderful time!
