April 10th - Day 1
Our flight from Vancouver overnight brought us to Heathrow airport, and then an express train which took fifteen minutes to arrive into the heart of London. There, for the first night, we stayed at the Roseate House, a lovely boutique hotel located only a few blocks from Kensignton Gardens and Hyde Park.
