We took a ride in the Rolls to Westminster Abbey. The Rolls is definitely first class.

How much was a ride in the Rolls?

Complimentary for myself. I think it was clerical oversight.

That's great ^ I actually called once to ask what they had as a "hotel car" and was told they didn't have one... (Which seemed a bit surprising), but now I know!

Just got back from the Savoy. I ended up not taking the tube. One of our bags was 70lbs, and I just didn't want to bother lugging that around on transit. Funny, we weren't nearly that heavy going over--must have been too much shopping in Paris and London.

I ended up using justairports.com for the transfer. Total cost was 36 GBP for an estate car. Nice new vehicle, showed up on time, called just before arrival, and got us there on time.
