4-3-2-1…London!

DSC05996(This is the last of a trip report to Canary Islands, with a stopover in London, flying British Airways first class, using a “Travel Together ticket, booked with miles and paying fees.)
 
There were four things we wanted to do in London ~ number one, stay at the Mayfair! It was fantastic and free – we were able to use our Club Carlson points and spent two nights.DSC05953

DSC05967Number two on the list was afternoon tea, and because it was Easter weekend and a holiday, it was difficult. But our concierge got us a booking at the quiet Duke Hotel, right around the corner, and it was wonderful!DSC05940DSC05944
 The Mayfair location was excellent for number three on the list – SHOP! London has so many unusual stores that we don’t have in the US, and we definitely shopped. We went to lots of little shops (Cath Kidson being one), Harrods, and Selfridges, and it was all within walking distance of a tube station and close to our hotel.DSC05970DSC05975DSC05976DSC05979DSC05980DSC05993DSC05987DSC05988DSC05984
 And number four on the list was to eat at the Duck & Waffle, the highest restaurant in London, open 24/7 AND they do serve duck and waffle, which we ordered! DSC06006DSC06012DSC06023DSC06025DSC06036IMG_3504 
 London was a quick stopover, but we sure made use of our time! Enjoying the Concorde Room at Heathrow and flying home BA first class was a great ending to a spring break trip!IMG_3524 (1)IMG_3525 (2)IMG_3526FullSizeRender (10)FullSizeRender (11)IMG_3546 (1)
