Noted. I used the shortened version as more than one online source referred to Bury St. Edmunds as just Bury.

Much will depend on London hotel location as may need to stay further out should cost become a factor but expect to stick to Zones 1 & 2 with shorter, less frequent tube travel. The days of racing from sight-to-sight trying to cram as much as possible into each day are fortunately over as I've matured and now prefer a far more leisurely pace so will plan some area exploring to cut down on time spent in transit on tube.
