The hotel in the heart of Chelsea, one of the most fashionable and cultural areas of London it is bordered by shopping and gastronomic facilities of the Kings Road, South Kensington and Knightsbridge. It was only a short walk to the South Kenningston tube station (London Underground) and within easy reach of the city, the West End and international connections from Waterloo, Heathrow and Gatwick.
I lived in a very small studio, which was adequate for me but too small for a couple for a long duration
It was fully furnished and equipped. included central heating with hot water , satellite television and washer/dryers.

The Underground (tube) and the buses. This is the quickest, cheaper, and most typical way of getting around London.
Trains run from 5:30 am until after midnight. Travel cards are a very convinient way to pay for both, they must be purchased in advance. The ambiance.

Views across the Serpentine

by easyoar

I had never really appreciated this view, despite crossing over the road bridge that separates Hyde Park from Kensington Gardens (and going over the Serpentine) on numerous occasions in the past.

I don't know whether it was because it was sunset and it illuminated everything so beautifuly ot whether it was because I had a telephoto lens on my camera so I could zoom in well, but it makes a nice shot of London. You can see the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, the Wellington Arch and boats on the Serpentine. Sunset overlooking the Serpentine.

The Thames

by Jenniflower

The city of London and the Thames River have had a harmonious relationship for many a year.

The river helps feed the city and the city helps feed the river.

We love walking along it, some places are nicer than others, most are really enjoyable.

This photo was taken alongside the Thames just under Tower Bridge. It speaks of flooding of the river and how the city is protected from such an event occurring.

It would certainly be catastrophic!
