Itinerary Overview
My adventure in London began on January 8 when the plane landed at Stansted Airport, the third largest in London and also the one furthest from the capital, the first thing I needed to do was connect to Wi-Fi, at this airport the Free connection is for 1 hour, just the time necessary for me at that time, and once I was located I needed to get to London now, the best thing is that there are several options, all very simple and depending on the person's need and budget.
I could go if I wanted by train in a journey of approximately 45min according to what I was informed, only that the ticket had a value of 17 pounds, one way, so ask the other options, I could go by easy bus for approximately 9 pounds, at that time I did not know that If I had bought it online I would have been able to stay at 2 pounds, as for the easy bus there is a restriction on luggage, that was not a problem, it was me because my suitcases were not so heavy, however in the end I decided to travel by terra vision bus that It was a little bigger than the easybus and it was just about to leave.
It was a pleasant journey of just over 1 hour, I arrived at Baker Street from where I would make my connection to take the subway to the sweet home where an English family would receive me for 2 weeks.
London Connection with nature in a memoral place
2+The most incredible park and my favorite place to be in calm in the center of the London. if you are there, near to Picadilly Circus or Oxford street you can just walk and you will soon get there, but if not you can get there by metro since there are several nearby stations such as Hyde Park Corner (Piccadilly Line) o Lancaster Gate (Central Line). Hyde Park is very huge as his lake The Serpentine that break trough Hyde Park y Kensington Gardens, (many people frecuently thought that is an only one park), you will to walk, enjoy your time between squirrels and ducks in the path you can enjoy of different interesting stations full of history and culture as Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Walk, Jardines Italianos, Serpentine Galleries and much more.
