PUBLIC TRANSPORT MAKES LONDON POSSIBLE. |

Getting around London's maze of streets and neighborhoods is fun. Although you can see a lot of London
just by
walking
from your
HOME AT FIRST apartment, you can get to almost anyplace in Central London most quickly using the London
Underground. Or you can enjoy the smashing scenery from the top of a double-decker bus.
Passes for the Underground and the buses of London are supplied as part of
HOME AT FIRST's Full Packages and Ground Arrangements Only
travel programs to London.

"Our location at St. Katharine's Marina in London was
terrific. We ran our legs off investigating as much of
London as possible. The U.S. could learn something from the
UK about moving thousands of people — the Tube (London's
subway system) is positively fantastic!"

"ENGLAND
ACTIVITY GUIDE" |

Discovering London is exciting and can be
non-stop. But maybe you would like a break from the hustle of the city. Why not take a day
in the English countryside? No place in Britain offers better public transportation
connections to more of the places you want to go. Take the train somewhere fun: the
seaside at Brighton, to the great castle at Arundel,
Royal St.
George's Golf Club in Sandwich, or to medieval Canterbury. Try to solve the mystery of
Stonehenge. See what the Romans were up to a St. Albans. Stop
for high tea in Windsor after visiting the Queen's castle. Go punting at Cambridge, or
visit the magnificent library at Oxford. Discover and enjoy local pubs and fine
restaurants |
|
|
throughout the region. |
|

"The
St. Katharine's Dock area is lovely, and gives the feeling of
security. Being so close to the supermarket is a real plus. We felt very secure in the
apartment and enjoyed the room it afforded us. We took day trips to
Oxford, Bath, and
Shrewsbury from London using our BritRail Pass. British trains run so incredibly on
time!"
J. Mowery, Illinois
"We took
several trips away from London, all from different train stations, and all were excellent.
Always on time, and plenty of trains. Our longest wait
15 minutes."
— K.
& N. Kirkwood, California

Should we bring the kids along? Are
you kidding?! There are great parks, theater
the whole family will love, train rides and
boat rides better than in any amusement park, and, oh yes, amusement parks, too. Want
history to come alive for your kids? Why not take them where so
much history has been made? Worried about being away from McDonald's and TV? Don't be.
Kids of all ages can get their burgers, fries and CNN all over Britain. And, who knows,
maybe the kids will discover new tastes: fish 'n chips, ice lollies, and
the crazy convenience of public transportation as a minimum, to bring home as souvenirs.

"St.
Katharine's Marina was a fabulous location for our London
experience. Location was very important to
our group of 6 adults and 5 children. We
loved being a short walk from the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, the Thames Path, the
nearby Underground station and bus stop. The
supermarket also just a short
walk away was a blessing!"
