Day 1: the amazing London by night!

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.

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