Here are a few of the wonderful spots in London.
You've got to love the phone booths in London.
Of course, you need to eat fish and chips while there. The green dish was called "Mushy Peas"??
The second night of our stay we were abruptly awakened at 3:30 a.m. by an incredibly annoying and loud beeping noise. We tried to turn off the alarm clock, answer the phone, try anything but the beeping would not stop. When we were finally awake enough to think we realized it was most likely the fire alarm. Of course we were on the 5th floor. Everyone was evacuated outside while the fire department checked the building. We found out the next morning that someone had been smoking in bed which set off the alarm. It was so interesting to me to see what people took out of the hotel with them. I learned a lot about myself as well as others. We had a good laugh about it. One lady that was on our tour, who was always immaculately dressed and put together made sure she brought her make up bag out. Our friends who we traveled with came out in their pajamas but made sure they had their credit cards. Someone else brought their scriptures with them. Some of the people came out without coats or shoes and the hotel provided emergency blankets for them. I made sure that I was fully dressed with shoes, socks, pants, shirt, sweater, coat, gloves and scarf. I was not going to risk being cold if we were evacuated for a long time. I also grabbed our passports and credit cards. I was ready for anything.
It made for an eventful and memorable night. We were soon let back into the building. After ascending the five floors of stairs, we climbed back into bed to rest for a few minutes before we started another day.
