the day with a satisfying breakfast consisting of a choice of various

| Where
can I get information about travelling around London? |

information "dedicated to helping tourists find their way around
the capital" before you arrive, visit http://www.londontransport.co.uk

use taxis or public transport whilst you're here. If you do have a
car, there are parking meters at the door (£1 for 20 minutes!) or
several parking garages in the immediate area, e.g £3.50 for 2hrs,
£7 for 4 hrs, £21 for 24 hrs.
