We arrived at Gatwick on a
Thursday morning. We rode the express Connex train from Gatwick to
London's Victoria Station. The Connex train was cheaper than the
Gatwick express and only took 3 extra minutes (however the trains were
dirtier and more crowded). We had our pictures made at a photo
booth at Victoria, so that we were
able to purchase a 7 day London Transport Travel Card. With this
accomplished we took our first Underground ride on a District Line train to Earl's
Court Station. Walked then about 2 blocks to our hotel.

The Albany Hotel |
The Albany Hotel was slightly
run down, but we had 4 twin beds in a rather large side room with a
water closet and tub/shower. After taxes we paid less than $600 for 5
nights, a pretty good deal for this pricey city especially with 4
adults! The other great part is being in Earl's Court we had a choice the
District and Piccadilly
underground lines. There were also several restaurants to choose from.
Earl's Court is better known as Kangaroo alley for all the Aussie's
that stay there, but we found it to be a great place to stay, and would
choose this neighborhood again.
Our first night there we went
to Harrods before it closed. We then ate at an inexpensive breakfast
shop at Earl's Court. We were pretty tired and wanted just to eat and
go to bed.
