After an overnight at Toronto Pearson airport and a change of planes in Iceland, we made it to The Royal Park Hotel, situated a block from Hyde Park and a short walk from Paddington station. This is the first time I've arrived in London without feeling jet-lagged. I even managed to snooze on the plane. Icelandair is awesome, by the by, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to arrive in Europe non-frazzled. We were in 'Comfort Economy' class, which is almost as good as business class. With only two seats instead of three abreast and plenty of legroom, we were very comfortable.
London hasn't changed much, except we noticed more technology in evidence at Heathrow airport. The pub food and beer are still awesome. And I can't help but love hotels that have a lounge where they bring you your choice of teas upon arrival. Happy sigh.
