We had just flown from the United States and it was a simple and quick trip to London. After that exhausting flight it was nice to get to Paddington station and walk one block to our hotel. Sadly, Paddington station has no elevator AKA lift. Be sure to buy your tickets online ahead of time to save a bit of money. It was a very simple effective transfer.

Everything went smoothly with the trains and the hop on hop off. We particularly enjoyed the riverboat trip on the Thames. The crew member that gave the highlights along the tour was informative and entertaining. A special highlight on the hop on hop off was getting to see the horses as part of VE Day celebrations.

The transport is very fast, clean and comfortable. We were able to connect to wifi and charge our mobile phones. The reduction is needed. The probem was the tickets. I ordered them from Paddington to Heathrow but somehow it ended other way around. Fortunatelly the staff was understanding and let us go.

As our hotel was located near Paddington station, the journey on the Heathrow Express was very quick and, as the train was not full of passengers, very pleasant. The app was a little problematic.
