    Wife and I flew in yesterday from Toronto on a nice business class product on Air Canada. Enjoyed Regent street for an hour or so as it was mainly deserted and was able to get kind of acquainted with the area. Staying at The Langham and we really enjoy it here and the lounge we have access to. Got upgraded to a Junior Suite as well because of the Amex FHR program I booked through.

    Enjoyed a nice first day taking in the normal tourist sites (Buckingham Palace, Westminster, Parliament, Tower Bridge, London Bridge, etc). Enjoyed a nice meal at Heddon Street Kitchen while watching some Six Nations Rugby.

    Heading out early tomorrow to get a train to Manchester to watch the Man U v Chelsea football match. I took her to watch Hamilton (original cast) last year and I told her this was "my Hamilton", so she's humoring me and traveling along.

    Looking forward to the next few days here.

    Thanks Tring! It’s ok. But I like the Birra Moretti better.

    About time to get back on the train to London.

    Last day here off to a good start with a nice breakfast at the hotel. Starting to snow here and these people freak out worse than the southern states do when they get a dusting. Going to be an inside type of day so gonna take the underground to the National Gallery and maybe the British Museum

    Hey, if you do the British Museum, I had a short list of things recommended to me if you can't do the whole museum. Passing on to you in case you're short on time:

    Rosetta Stone
    Assyrian reliefs - lion hunt
    Parthenon Marbles
    Egyptian marbles - Ramses
    Mummies (will be crowded)
    Mayan and African collections

    If you do the national gallery, you get to see Van Gogh's Sunflowers and literally every wall has some sort of masterpiece.

    Totally worth doing both!

    Thank you for the recommendations

    Almost done with the NG now. Saw the Van Goghs. Very cool place here. I’ve enjoyed it thoroughly

    Excellent final day of sightseeing in London. Was able to visit both the National Gallery and see some famous paintings (Monet, Manet, Van Gogh, etc. Then it was off to the British Museum to see some famous artifacts from all over the world that were collected by the British Empire including the Rosetta Stone.
