We stayed at a the London Hilton Metropole. We've not stayed there before....and we won't stay there again! The bed was too hard! We didn't sleep well the entire weekend. As a matter of fact, our last night there, we were still awake at 3:00 AM, so turned on the television, had some tea, and watched "Monday Night Football." Yay for American TV!!! :-)

Red double-decker bus

Sea Shell Restaurant, which serves terrific fish and chips! We ate there in 2003 with some friends who accompanied us on a trip to England, Scotland and Ireland. On this trip, the hotel where we stayed was within walking distance of the Sea Shell. :-)

You wouldn't try crawling over this gated fence, would you? Not with those spikes! ha
