Summer 2024 Trip to England

What an amazing trip! Tons of nature, outdoor time, sightseeing, traveling with friends, seeing family, eating well, and traveling the entire country of England. >1100 miles by car in just 10 days!


Day (?Night) 1, 7/7-7/8: overnight flight to London. The usual transatlantic means of travel.




But Day 1, 7/8: 17,095 steps.

We take public transportation (the Tube! super easy!) to Covent Gardens, drop off bags to the York Hotel (fantastic flat in a great location - video below), and keep the energy/momentum going. Brunch at Crown - Cafe Portugues (yes...when in London...). Delicious servings of warm veggie dishes and washed down with (a few) ice cold freshly pressed juices. Yum!




We walked up and down the entire Gardens and Theater District. We had an afternoon reservation at Sky Garden, a free public indoor Garden on the top floor of a very large building. Tea time in London! Vegan cookies were procured and many an espresso was drunk. The view was breathtaking. 


The Shard




We had the foresight to make ridiculously early (or...late?) 430pm dinner reservations at Dishoom. Got right in, but when we left the line stretched an entire block. The food was so good!



Crashed at the York hotel - a really nice set up for our family of 5 - in an amazing location adjacent to Embankment.
