London

Lovely London

London surprised and delighted us all week long.

We decided to pack up and fly to London on our own to get a feel for this beautiful city and see it for ourselves. It is so easy from Nashville on British Airway's nonstop direct to Heathrow.

We landed on a beautiful mid-May Saturday and spent the rest of the week exploring wonderful hotels, navigating the city, and sampling the amazing food. If you thought London's food scene was lackluster - that is outdated information. The food was amazing. But, one thing we've heard about England was true. Everyone we met from hoteliers to waiters to just people on the street or tube were extremely friendly and polite.

We've decided after this trip that London would be incredible at any season. Spring Break, Fall Break, Festive, Summer...you name it, we say yes, go. It has something for families, for couples, for multi-generational trips, for friend groups. So let's go...

Beautiful Tower Bridge. Iconic.

Walking along the River Thames - you could spend a day exploring along the river.

London is filled with incredible streets to explore.

London Calling

There are so many things to do in London and the surrounding areas, you could easily spend weeks here.

We have many ideas for couples and families after spending the week here. And, we know the best partners on the ground in the UK to make your trip seamless. A fun idea would be to start in London for a few days and head to Paris on the Chunnel. Or, head up to Edinburgh or Dublin. The UK is filled with interesting places to explore. London really is the gateway to Europe and a great first trip overseas for many people.

London Markets

One of the things we most enjoyed were the food markets. Borough Market is a historic market and one of the oldest and largest. Come here to stroll the markets and have a progressive dinner. There are too many to choose. We loved Bedales Wine Bar for apps and wine, Padella for Italian, Bao for bao buns (obviously), and Gentlemen Baristas for coffee. We really could have come to Borough Market daily, we loved it.

There are many more food and street markets in London. It would be a fun day exploring them all.

And we are off! British Airways nonstop BNA to LHR is awesome!

Windsor Castle and town is worth an easy day trip

A walk around colorful and pastel Notting Hill on a busy market Saturday.
