Miles&Points... enjoy your London adventure and please post a trip report when you come back.

Merry is a good source of information. I wish I listened to him when booking my Hilton HOtel (I had to learn the hard way.)

Make sure to check with HIlton A.S.A.P. on available. This is near high season for tourists invading London so the top Hiltons may NOT have availability.

Another tip: save the money on the taxi fare and TAKE THE HEATHROW EXPRESS!!! FAST AND CLEAN AND RUNS ALMOST LIKE CLOCKWORK!

OMNI: If you have an hour or so... check out the London Transport Museum. It is travel related (about the history of London's underground, the buses, etc.) It's at Covent Garden. And don't do what I did is go for a half hour and end up spending nearly 2.5 hours. (I was like a child again!)
