A Visitor's Guide to Exploring London's Colourful Neighbourhoods
Tumblr media
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. Here is a visitor's guide to exploring London's colourful neighbourhoods.
Hampstead
Known as one of the prettiest neighbourhoods in the city, Hampstead is renowned for its picturesque streets, cute shops, and sprawling Heath.
In addition, Hampstead is filled with hidden gems like the Holly Bush and Fenton House's tucked-away gardens. 
Kensington
Kensington is one of London's most elegant neighbourhoods due to its abundance of mews streets and royal residences. Kensington Palace Gardens and Kensington Church Street offer a variety of interesting details, such as impressive real estate. In addition to a bustling high street, pubs decorated with flowers, and candy-cane-striped buildings, there's a lot to see and do in this city. Visitors looking to spend most of their time in this area can book a stay at this Park Grand Kensington Accommodation.
Chelsea
One of the prettiest neighbourhoods in London is Chelsea, which is located next to South Kensington. Its side streets are bursting with colour, from pastel houses on Bywater Street to rainbow row homes on Godfrey Street. The King's Road isn't just about colours; it is also a great shopping destination and offers a view of the Thames and historic houses. Nature lovers will enjoy walking around the cosy side streets of Chelsea and exploring the Chelsea Physic Garden.
Knightsbridge
Luxury shopping and over-the-top house prices characterize Knightsbridge. Affluent and beautiful, this is one of the most expensive neighbourhoods in London. While here, make sure to head to the many food halls at Harrods and take in the orange brick architecture on Pont Street. Knightsbridge is the ideal designer shopping spot for luxury Kensington London Hotels guests.
Notting Hill
Notting Hill is one of those neighbourhoods that always makes the list of places to visit in London. Known for its colourful houses and vibrant market, this place is popular with travellers and locals.
However, Portobello Road isn't the only thing to see here. Many shops and restaurants in Notting Hill attract people from all over London. We recommend booking a stay at the Hotels Near Gloucester Road Tube Station for easy access to this part of London.
Holland Park
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. Nevertheless, Holland Park goes beyond the green space, especially the picturesque crescents and colours that fill the streets around it.

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!

Guide to Royalty, the Buckingham Palace
Tumblr media
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

Lockdown is over: Make the most of it in London
Tumblr media
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.
