There’s no place like London!
Patrick, traveled May 2024This was a fantastic trip! My second one with EF and I absolutely loved it. It was a healthy balance of guided sightseeing and free time to explore. The hotel was really nice! It was located in Kensington, close to a wide variety of restaurants and shops, as well as quite literally a hop, skip, and a jump away from the High Street Kensington Underground... See more
