London Guide

image

Wow 1st time ever I blog so detailed.

Well before I get to London I was busy goggle-ing of what are the tourist attraction to go except the Madame Tussauds which was my dream place to go and it was the 1st place in my list

In London I got the tube map which can seen from the above

Well I jotted all the tourist attraction on the map and planned of which to go 1st

This can be seen from the tube map that I highlighted and numbered all the route that been taken accordingly ^^….

1. Paddington station

=Can see the Paddington bear statue and purchase Paddington souvenir

1.1 Windsor Castle (ONE DAY)

=World largest castle and is the Queen’s castle

=worth to go

=Changing guard happens between 11:00 and 11:30

=Paddington station go to the counter just opposite the information counter (try to ask people where to get the ticket to Windsor castle)

-at the counter ask for ticket to Windsor (Windsor castle)

-Buy to and fro so it’s easy for you as need not have to rush for ticket to go back to Paddington station (as this ticket is additional, can’t use the oyster card)

-Remember to ask which platform number as there are many platforms in London train station

-Always be on time, 1 minute late train won’t wait and always study tube map before going anywhere in London by train =save time and money ^^

*Paddington station-Slough-Windsor

2. King cross Station
