We left the Hotel with lots of time to spare, which it turns out was a good thing !!!
One wrong turn, as we were getting to Heathrow!!!! and we ended up going around and around in bumper to bumper traffic for 45 mins before finally getting the the Hertz Car Return. On speaking to 2 other people, the exact same thing happened to them. I had purchased Heathrow Express Train tickets to Paddington earlier which is only a 15 min train ride. Getting to the platform proved to be a little bit of a challenge though.
On arrival into Paddington Station, it was very busy people everywhere. We sat and had lunch, before trying to order an Uber. Not as easy as it sounds !! At first UberX - cars were unavailable, so we tried the Uber XL - Yay !! a car was on its way, only 8 mins away, but then the driver cancelled, as he couldn't work out how to get into the station to collect us - NOT HAPPY !!! Finally, ordered another and it arrived, the driver was lovely and helpful - said the other one must have been a new person, who didn’t know what they were doing ! In conversation, the driver offered to pick us up tomorrow morning and take us to as close to Hyde Park Corner as he could get. Anyway, we arrived at our accomodation - Marlin Apartments, Tower Bridge.
We have stayed here before, and they are great apartments. Thankfully, we had booked well in advance, and the price had tripled since the Queen's death.
