190505 (Day 9 of England trip) London - It is the 1st of the 5 days in London that we planned for. We have spent the 1st 8 days based in Salisbury,   traveled to a lot of places. This morning we took the  South Western Railway  from Salisbury Station to Clapham Junction Station in London. We forgot to tap at Clapham Junction before we broad the overground train to Kensington Olympia. As a result, we have to pay a penalty of 5 pounds each. Lucky for us, we met a very nice station staff whom allow 3 of us to pass the gantry with only 1 paying the penalty. He still teach us how to walk to our hotel. Thumbs up for this staff. It was only a few minutes walk from Kensington Olympia to 88 Studios Hotel . It was only about 12pm when we reach 88 Sutdios . We were lucky that the room is ready for us and we need not wait for 2pm to check in.  We were delighted to find that the room is spacious and clean. Most of the retail shop will close at 6pm. Not wanting

ENGLAND  has a lot to offer for Tourist. Depending on your preference, if you like the crowded city atmosphere, London is for your. If you prefer the less crowded area, out of London is good. England is big and it is not possible to travel the whole country in one trip. It also depends on how much you want to cover when visiting a place. I have 13 full days for this trip. Was able to travel quite a number of places with the help of my sister driving us here and there. We only covered places on the South Western area and London. For me, I love places that is less crowded. Thus, I love places that is out of London. From the more well known places in South West of England - Salisbury Cathedral, Arundel Castle, Bath Spa, Stonehenge. Cotsworlds - Burford, Bibury, Bourton-on-the-Water To London's  Sky Garden (Mobile phone building), The Shard,  Thames Bridge, London Tower and Natural History Museum The less well known places in England Hengistbury Head Park, Lyme Regis T
