We arrived in London Heathrow airport!! then, after that, we took an Uber to the hotel in London. From the airport to the city, Ubers are 2-3 times cheaper than the cabs. Then, after we got at hotel, we decided to look for the grub, so we went to Chinatown!!
We are staying at Thistle Piccadilly, right in the heart of Piccadilly Circus, Downton of London. From Piccadilly Circus you can walk practically everywhere, Buckingham Palace, SoHo, Chinatown, etc.

Us on the street, taking a photo of the magnificent buildings.





What about a small stop at a very nice Cafe? Carpo is a great place to go in Piccadilly Circus.



After dessert, we decided to go for a walk. Dad found a good walking tour around Piccadilly. Here is the link to the tour and all the explanation.





So many very traditional and Chic designer stores in this area. Look at these places.



Originally founded as a grocery store, Fortnum & Mason was established in 1707.
Today it’s known around the world for its high-quality goods and representation of ‘British’ tradition, food, and design.
Fortnum & Mason holds the Royal Warrant which means that it provides goods to the Royal Family themselves!




Then we crossed the park in front of the Ritz and we arrived at the Buckingham Palace.



At last, to complete the walk tour, we went to the Berkeley Square.

Wow, this place only has exclusive stores and restaurants!! 😳






The iconic red telephone booth.



It was a short day, because we arrived at the hotel at 16:00h. But it was a great first day!! See you tomorrow.
