Lockdown is over: Make the most of it in London

The Covid-19 pandemic changed the world as everyone knew it. Plunged into lockdowns across the world, people learned to reevaluate their lives, whether in terms of the work they do or the time they spend with their family. One thing that doesn’t seem to have gone away as we start easing our way back towards a sense of normality is travel. Now that the planes are flying again and the hotels near Earls Court have opened up their doors to visitors from around the world, it is time to enjoy all the activities that were not possible during lockdown. 

Public transport

Though public transport never stopped entirely in London owing to the dependence of essential workers on these services, it was recommended that nobody used public transport for recreation or unless 100% necessary. This meant that hotels near Earls Court tube station couldn’t really show off their full potential. That is no longer a problem and if anything, public transport just got better and London just got a lot more accessible with the addition of the Elizabeth Line. So, next time you find yourself exploring the city, make the most of the public transport to celebrate the fact that it is back in action after the global lockdowns.

Go to the theater 

The London theaters were all closed during the lockdowns, which was not just an issue for theater-enthusiasts but more dramatically, the theaters and talented performers who make a night out on the West End possible. Now that the lockdown is over, the theaters are open and they need as much support as they can get to recover from the losses they have made over the past two years.Thankfully, going to the theater as much as possible is hardly a big ask when you see all the fantastic shows that are on at the moment. So, pick your genre, and go fill those theaters!

Eat out

During the lockdowns, restaurants and cafes did their best to keep busy and afloat, from takeaway meals to make-it-at-home food delivery. So much so that when things started to ease up initially, there was an Eat Out To Help Out government initiative to encourage people to get back to restaurants. One of the best parts of London is the food. In fact, it is estimated that there are 18,110 restaurants in London, according to the Office for National Statistics. So, get out there and play your part in helping the industry recover from the dry spell they have managed to endure. For guests staying in hotels near Earls Court tube, your options seem never ending. Especially for guests of Park Grand Kensington accommodation, who won’t want to go much further than the hotel’s The Turmeric Restaurant. 

Pubs and bars 

Like the restaurants and cafes, establishments serving drinks took a real knock during the pandemic. Now that the lockdown is over, it is time to show these places that we care about their struggle and support their future. Park Grand guests always have to hotel bar to depend on, but there are plenty of other options in the Kensington area, with an ambience to match any preference.

Amber I need help pleaseee! Do you have a tag for when you answer things about London? If you don't, can you recomend cheap places to stay (that are still safe because I'm going alone and I'm fucking scared) and which aeroport do you usually go to, transportation (tube?) and all that stuff? I'm going there to see Harry in April but I've never been and I'm trying to plan ahead because if I don't my anxiety will not be happy. Thank you so much

Hmm as for hostels or hotels there’s not really one place I stay, I go for the best price every time and just let myself be carried around London for a bit hahah. Or I stay with a friend if I can. 

Maybe someone who’s reading this can rec you a hostel or hotel if they have a favourite place? 

Check booking.com, though, they have good deals and many reviews to check so you can make sure that it’s a safe neighborhood you’re in. Once I stayed in a DoubleTree by Hilton hotel near Angel tube station for the price of a hostel because of booking.com, and last time Leonie and I rented an apartment in Kensington through Dylan Apartments, Earl’s Court, super nice location as well. I’d make sure to just find something not too far from the venue. Airbnb’s are always an option as well. I’m going to see Harry in London in April as well, if I find anything I’ll let you know, love.

I always take the tube, cheapest and best option and it’s not very difficult, and as for airports… I never go through Heathrow because the cheaper airlines don’t land there, I’ve mostly done Stansted or Luton because of Easyjet landing there but make sure to check where the cheaper ones land where you come from. There’s a bus that can take you there, but there should be a tube station you can take as well. (I’m thinking of maybe taking the Eurostar train this year because it takes you right to the city center, but alas). 

Anything else you need, babe?

avaalons replied to your post: “Lawyered - Chapter 23”:

You know how I much I love everything about this, but in this chapter, being a Brit, I just got so giggly over the thought of seeing Chris Evans in the condom aisle of Tesco �� such a little detail but well awesome!

Aww, thank you! I absolutely loved London (visited three times) and the rest of the U.K. I wish airfare wasn’t so expensive and the journey was shorter, as I’d go with much more frequency!

I like the full-sized Tesco stores a lot, but my heart is with Sainsbury. Although, that’s largely because I spent so much time hoarding chocolate from there on my 2nd visit and the store was right across the road from my hotel. Still, I have a lovely dress I bought at a M&S in the Tesco near the Earl’s Court tube station!

Slightly related - I am so in love with Jacob’s Crinklys (Cheese & Onion) that I bought several bags of the multipacks of the 25g bags via Amazon and am hoarding them like treasure at home. Fortunately, I can buy Milka bars at a few local stores near me.

Last stop - London

Tuesday 8/22 Checked out of Lumley Castle [😪] and made the 5-hour drive to Heathrow to drop off our rental car. Then took the Piccadilly Tube line into London, and serendipitously decided to get off at Earls Court, which we guessed was near our hotel. Turned out our hotel K+K is only a 3-minute walk from the Tube station! Checked in, had a glass of wine provided by the hotel and went out to the Blackbird pub for dinner.

Singapore Bound

So I’m back. I’m one of those insufferable people that believes in the magic of new days and New Years. So it’s 2019. A shiny new world and I decided to christen the year with another trip and to take the number of continents I’ve visited to four. So Singapore it is. I’m aware that I haven’t finished my Scotland adventure and I haven’t even started with Copenhagen and Florida (survived a hurricane!) but let’s start with the here and now rather than playing catch up. So 19th of January arrives and I’m off to Singapore with my dad. He lived here as a child but hasn’t been back in 55 years. He’s always wanted to come back and I’ve always wanted to go. So perfect travelling companions. For those not aware my dad walks with two sticks and is like any man in his mid 60s. Saturday morning arrives and I’ve rehearsed the plan of getting from my home in Essex to Heathrow Terminal 5 about 7009099 times. Those familiar with me know that I’m an overly prepared traveller. Not nervous exactly, just more that I like to plan in PLENTY of safety time. Three things went wrong on the journey. I hope that means the trip itself will be fine. 1. Literally moments before my scheduled departure time my dad popped the button on his trousers. In my sympathetic none panicking state I threw cotton and needle in his general direction and left the house. 2. The first part of our journey was by train. The one we were aiming for was cancelled and we had a 30 minute wait to the next one. Instantly my mind entered a maze of planning and options in case the next one was also cancelled. I though I handled it well. My dad later said that if the next one was cancelled he thought I’d have steam coming out of my ears. 3. The green shoes. My dad has had these green shoes since I was only a few months old (I’m over 30 now). That’s along time. They’ve been re-soled a few times but still. We’re sat on the circle line from Tower Hill to Earls Court and the sole of one half comes off. So we end up having to do a shoe change and give a memory from my childhood a unceremoniously blunt funeral. Fortunately we still got to the airport four hours before our flight and I’m now considering if my dad is a lucky travel charm. I soon discovered the other drawback - on running into the Glasgow Warrior Rugby Team at the airport. My father is not the person with which to converse with about how I thought an ovary burst over the red hair and oh my god those thighs. The flight was a flight. Direct at least. 12.5 hours. Not quiet long enough for me to want to kill the people who can afford the fancy bed seats but long enough for me to wonder who I need to marry to be able to afford the seats with extra legroom and a foot rest. So we arrive. 30 degrees which is perfect for this Northern Girl. And all I can say is Singapore is great and I don’t want to leave. I instantly already like it more than allot of other cities I have visited. It’s everything I love about an urban city and all I want is to get out and see it. We navigate the MRT and its everything public transport should be. (Note that ticket machines only take certain notes and coins which is so helpful when newly arrived tourists only have $100 bills). We navigated to the correct station and walk to the hotel. Okay we may have been tired, hot and hungry and I may have accidentally taken us the long way but we made it. Of course only after I wondered if I’m destined to be the death of my parents thinking I’d killed my dad on the walk and almost killing my mother going around Versailles. The main observation since arriving has been that Singapore also makes me feel a bit odd. It has such a massive colonial history and American influences meaning that so many things are so familiar but not quiet right. Like seeing a Costco, American style road signs, 7-elevens and street names like Dover and Northumberland, the MRT having not only a circle line but also assigning it as the yellow line, just like London. But then rickshaws and palm trees. So far only one thing has disconcerted me to the point that I feel physically ill. On escalators they stand on the left. Having spent six years so far navigating the London tube network it has been hard coded into my very marrow that you stand on the right. The announcements tell you, commuters yell at you, they’ve even painted feet on the escalators on the right. I’m not exaggerating here, if there is one thing that makes Londoners near homicidal it’s standing on the left. Not sure I’m going to make it the week. So a boring update. But I’m trying to get back into writing and trying to set myself a good routine. No photos today but I promise there will be some and even more for my friends and family (sorry/ not sorry). The next morning - Monday morning and first day here and I have had the greatest nights sleep of my life!

And now... the much awaited Saturday in London!

King's Cross Station has become a landing ground for nerds like us, due to its role played in the Harry Potter Series.  When we began planning for our England trip this was one of the first things to be suggested.  And so, we began our day by using our visitor oyster cards and making our way to Kings Cross.  Lisa had found out from a friend that due to the high volume of people flocking to the platform where scenes from the movies were filmed, they had set up another location outside of the platforms for fans to view.  Here there was a sign that read "Platform 9 3/4" and some luggage set up for a photo-op of people going through the portal.  With the location offset and the line of people waiting for a photo-opp being enormous, we took a picture of the empty area between people posing and decided to move on.  Next to this area, they've put in a shop dedicated to the Potter world.  After a quick walk through, we both decided that the merchandise in Universal Studios was better so we didn't really need anything. On to Sherlock Holmes!

Off we went, two naive visitors.  Turning the corner onto Baker Street, we noticed a large group of people clustered down the street in front of the shops on the left. As we approached, we became aware that this was the long line of people to enter the Sherlock Holmes museum at 221B. Having a short amount of time to spend and a laundry list of items to be accomplished, we grew a little anxious and concerned. We did venture into the London Beatles Shop next to the Sherlock museum, where our visitor oyster card allowed us a free goody bag with purchase! Letting our stomachs decide the next course of action, they led us to a casual little spot called Burgrista (bet you can guess what they served!). Both the burgers and fries served were cooked fantastically. Ian’s burger had their “special sauce” on it, which he describes as sweet and tangy. The milkshake offerings looked very tempting, but perhaps too heavy for breakfast. We were satisfied with our sodas (with free refills). There, we regrouped and set a new plan of attack for the day. With renewed energies and spirits, we made the decision to continue our originally scheduled day, with hopes of returning to the Sherlock Museum before their closing time.

Back to the tube we went and onward toward Portobello Road!  But not before getting Ian’s favorite candy in the station: Mars Bars!

"Portobello Road, Portobello Road. Street where the riches of ages are stowed. Anything and everything a chap can unload, is sold off the barrow in Portobello Road". These famous lines were once sung in the classic Walt Disney movie, "Bedknobs and Broomsticks". Both in the film and in reality, Portobello Rd is an enormous street market. Filled with eclectic shops of all varieties, from vintage to modern, and the street in front lined with even more vendors. Almost anything you could think of could be found along this walk. There was one antique shop that was akin to walking through a museum, due to the layout and nature of the products.They even had signs requesting no photography unless willing to pay for it. Nearly every alley you'd turn into a different arcade of booths. This was a local London feel, a much different vibe from the city and attraction settings, bustling with tourists. This was certainly one of our favorite destinations of the weekend, despite the rain that began to moisten our walk. The rain, though not a downpour by any means, required a change of footwear for Lisa, who had been in green suede heels in preparation of our later tea time. Thus, we clambered into Jolly Jellies. This unique store offered boots that were a cross between Doc Martens and the clear rubber jelly shoes of our childhoods. Lisa's rain boots at home had already been worn through, so this seemed a perfect solution for the now and later. Continuing our walk down this endless foray of curiosities, Ian purchased an antique book copy of "The Scarlet Pimpernel" as a birthday gift for his mother. We gave a couple pounds to a street performer playing a Steel Drum, something that happens in the aforementioned movie as well!

Ian spotted our first European Birch tree along the route! We have a birch theme in our apartment at home, so this was more exciting for us than the average tourist. Though we could have spent many more hours and significantly more money along this route, we had one time scheduled item we had to attend. "When in Rome," as they say, but this was England and it was time for afternoon tea! Thanks to international Groupon, Lisa found us our tea time locale. The Corus Hotel, just outside of Hyde Park, offered a lovely afternoon tea service with some different options than others. We opted for the Cheese Lover's afternoon selection. We each selected a pot of tea to drink (Ian had Winchester Breakfast while Lisa chose Old Love), and shortly after arrived a tray filled with pastries and finger sandwiches and delectable dessert pieces. The scones and tartlettes were amazing! Some of the sandwiches were not quite our cup of tea though. The fish (we assume lox) on top of the bagels did not taste great (according to Ian, as Lisa doesn’t like fish even if it’s better than this was). The other sandwich options were better, but bland compared to the pieces that we indulged in before and after. Our tea time also included a fine glass of Prosecco for each of us to enjoy. We were seated at the window directly overlooking Hyde Park. It was a beautiful setting and a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

As the sun set with the coming evening, and our teapots fell empty, we took our leave of afternoon tea to make our way back to Baker Street.  On to Sherlock Holmes... AGAIN!  Once more we followed a golden thread through the labyrinth that is the underground, leading us to a much shorter line at the Sherlock Holmes museum.  Before going into the museum, one must purchase their tickets within the gift shop next door.  This offered us a chance to look around at the keepsakes for sale, as the store would be closed upon our exit of the museum.  With books, board games (variations on Clue), keychains, pocket watches, matchboxes, pens, magnifying glasses, and much more, this is a very exciting gift shop.  Lisa’s manager at work had commented his excitement at the prospect of us visiting this location as he is a huge Sherlock Holmes fan himself, so we obtained a postcard from the site to bring home to him. We stood on the much more accommodating smaller line outside a black door reading 221B. Our excitement grew tenfold.  A bobby (the acting concierge, dressed as a London police officer) motioned to us indicating it was our turn to enter this famous place, and so we ascended a set of stairs behind that door.  Holmes remains a historically fictional character, and so the museum is comprised of antiques recreating the style and fashion that Holmes would have kept. The two rooms on the first floor were Sherlock’s bedroom and the infamous study. Here desks were adorned with books of the time, a 300 year old violin sat against a chair, wallpaper was riddled with bullet-holes in reference to the stories, and a wide array of minor details from each adventure was sneaked into every corner. Sherlock’s bedroom held stage makeup and costume pieces from his many disguises, and the walls were covered in photographs of actual London criminals from the age that Sherlock may have investigated or fought.

A museum guide walked us through the rooms, enlightening us with stories and explanations of what we were witnessing.The next floor was home to Dr. Watson and Mrs. Hudson. These rooms held keepsakes, descriptions, and scenes depicting cases Watson and Holmes encountered.They also had a book dedicated to Sherlock Holmes fan mail, including some impressive pieces of artwork that people from around the world sent to this lovable character.

The third floor was established as a small wax museum, with lifelike figures representing Sherlock himself, Watson, Irene Adler, Moriarty, even a large mounted head from a Hound of Baskerville. The waxwork statue of Dr. Watson looked surprisingly familiar to us. Ian's brother, Adam, had recently performed as the conductor from "The Polar Express". His mustached face matched the look of Watson in this scene almost identically.

A small set of stairs led to a floral designed toilet and sink with a step up to an attic/loft, with suitcases stored, which would complete our tour.

We journeyed back downstairs and out the very same door we entered.

Well into night now, our nerdiness fully forming, we followed a rumor that Doctor Who had landed by the station at Earl’s Court. And so again through the underground we trekked.  Arising through the steps of Earl’s Court station, our gaze met with the TARDIS sitting near the curb of the street. We were not permitted to enter, but Ian was able to see how big it was on the inside. A money exchange shop across from us saw fit to make their kiosk within the establishment match the TARDIS.

A long day full of wonderful experiences led us back towards our hotel. As we'd run a bit over budget for the day, we decided to both experience the local fair and be thrifty by going to a nearby grocery store for some food.  There, for a modest 10 GBP, we got bread, peanut butter, a delicious roll of cookies, and a 2 liter of Strongbow cider.  Our feet finally feigning from much use and our faces starting to turn rosy from the cool air, we headed back to the hub.  There we stopped at the lounge area of the hotel to pick up a plate and knife for sandwich making and a couple of cups for our drinks. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating to our needs.

Though we did not take advantage of the lounge, it was quite apparent that it was an excellent place for socializing.  The lounge was abuzz with people talking over drinks they had purchased from the pub within. There were games, books, food, and always someone there.. Now possessing the tools needed, we headed up to our room to enjoy our dinner and turn on the “tele”.  To our surprise there were four channel 4s and many channels we were not accustomed to.  With many interesting programs, we finally settled on an English sitcom we were familiar with, the always hilarious "IT Crowd".

At this point the night started becoming early morning, so we decided to rest before beginning our Sunday as it would be another big day of sight seeing

What´s the most uncomfortable situation you had to face by yourself while being outdoors?

I’m a very out-doory person as my parents have always taught me about the importance of being out doors and all the long walks/hikes we used to and still do with the dogs and I do a fair amount of travelling by trains and stuff by myself so it took me a while to think of this one and I did public services course about the army and police etc so we did loads of out door courses for our college course.

I think really, it’s not so much it made me uncomfortable but it made me a bit uneasy was last month when I had to use the London tube for the first time by myself at 8:30pm on a Friday night at Euston. It was so daunting as I didn’t realise just how big Euston underground really was and as I was exhausted from being at work all day so it was a little daunting trying to figure it out by myself and to get on the right tubes to take me to Earls Court where my hotel was near London film comic con venue. I think it was also daunting because London Underground can be a dangerous place if you don’t know it very well or if you are a stranger to London like I was.

I was thankful I had friends in London who helped me before I made this journey so I researched a lot with them which made my journey so much easier when I had information on the correct tubes to take.

But I think next time I go to London or LFCC in general, I certainly do it over more than one day. That is, if I can get time off work.

Guide to Royalty, the Buckingham Palace

Buckingham Palace is undoubted one of the most iconic places in London. Located in Westminster, the financial and political center of the metropolis, the palace serves as a home to the present-day monarch and her kin.

You can also read: Harry Potter Tour of Warner Bros. Studio with Transport from London

The reason behind its glorified fame is that it is the official residence of the Queen of England. If looking for the affordable stay near Buckingham Palace that would be hard to get as it is the prime location but alternatively you can get the budget hotels in Kensington which is in Central London and just few tube stations away from the Palace.

Apart from that, here are some reasons you should visit this grand place;

The Palace’s magnificent state rooms are open to the public when the Queen is not in residence, so you get a little bit worthy view of The Majesty's humble abode.

Witness the ‘Changing of the Guard,’ a ceremony where the Queen’s guard switches with another infantry battalion. An Instagramable moment for sure!

The views of the splendid grandeur of the staterooms, of course, come at a cost. So, to make this trip light on your pockets, we have accumulated a list of a few Tube stations to the Royal Residency.

1.    St. James Park Station

St. James Park Station is 0.4mi away from Buckingham Palace. It is an underground station in Westminster City, Central London. While walking to your destination, you will spot the stunning Westminster Chapel, a 160-year-old evangelical church. Also, on the way comes Westminster Abbey, World Heritage Site.

 Pros:

Public toilets

Marts

ATMS

Cons

You have to walk on two different streets, that's an additional 8 minutes to your journey to the palace.

Not wheelchair accessible

No escalators or lifts

2.    Green Park Station

One of the closest tube stations to the Royal residency is Green Station Park, which means it is just 6 minute's walk away!

Located on the Piccadilly, Jubilee, and Victoria Lines, this tube station has an easy-going vibe. The walk to the Majesty's Residency is short and pleasant, especially on sunny days. Whatever tube Station you stop at, the Buckingham Palace is way more easily accessible from Green Park Station. If you stay at Park Grand Hotel Kensington , the popular hotel amongst the Londoners for its value for money traits then, you need to take the tube from Earl’s Court Station.  

Pros:

Public toilets

Wi-Fi

Lifts and escalators

ATMs

Ticket halls

3.    Hyde Park Corner Station

0.6mi away from Buckingham Palace is the Hyde Park Corner Station. Although it is a long 13-minute walk to the palace from the station, but trust me, the walk ain’t boring.

Along the way, you will spot many London aesthetics that make super gorgeous camera clicks! One of the main things you will see is the beautiful Wellington Arch, a top-notch London landmark, a historical masterpiece.

Take exit 2 from Hyde Park Corner Station to Buckingham Palace and Green Park and experience the true essence of London in a 13-min walk.

Pros:

Wi-Fi

Public Toilets

4.    Victoria Station

A tube station that screams metropolis at the top of its lungs! Victoria Station is a must-visit for a tourist in London. Being just 0.5mi away from Buckingham Palace, i.e., 9 minutes walk – this tube station is ideal. Take the first left from the exit and a right on the A3214. You'll be walking through 2 busy roads and many souvenir shops, including an art gallery too. The walk to your destination is fairly interesting, so you will enjoy it.

Pros:

Wi-Fi

Public Toilets

Supermarts

Shopping center

A Visitor's Guide to Exploring London's Colourful Neighbourhoods

One of the things I love about walking around London is the many beautiful areas to explore. The city boasts 32 boroughs, each with something unique to offer. However, discovering London's hidden corners is best done on foot. Luckily, this vibrant capital is pedestrian-friendly, making it easy to find quirky and bright areas, mainly when staying at central properties like these Hotels Near Earls Court London.

Located next to Notting Hill, Holland Park often leaves visitors feeling enchanted. Beauty abounds in the park. One of the most spectacular sights in the city is its stunning spring tulips and summer roses. In addition to the Japanese garden, a peacock enclosure adds a magical aspect to the space.
