Christmas in London

Tudor houses were built during the Tudor era in England between 1485 – 1603 and they had a very distinctive black-and-white style appearance. The Tudor period is the time when the Tudor family came to the throne in England from 1485 – 1603. One of the most famous members of the Tudor family is King Henry VIII. There are still a large number of Tudor houses in the UK and some of them are more than 500 years old. On your visit to London (and around England if you have time) you’ll see a wide variety of architecture and design. I’d love to help you plan your trip to London so be sure to pick up the phone and call me or send me an email when you’re ready to start planning.

Bus Around London

Without buses, London would fall. London is completely dependent on these red icons. In fact, Londoners use buses so extensively that more than half of all bus journeys across England are made in London. The red double decker has become a global icon, and along with their red pillar boxes, and red telephone boxes, is a constituent part of the Holy Trinity of the red things of Britain. Buses have been used on London’s streets since the early 1800s. One of the first public bus services was operated by an enterprising fellow named George Shillibeer, who began ferrying people about using his horse-drawn omnibus which he ran between Paddington and the City. His forward thinking idea caught on, and soon, London was bus town. On your trip to London be sure take at least one ride on the famous London red bus. When you’re ready to start planning your trip to London be sure to call or email me. I’d love to help you plan it!

Anytime of the Year

London (and England) is stunning at any time of year. Of course there are things that you can only see and do in certain seasons for example winter might be colder but the crowds are smaller, the lines shorter and the Christmas spirit is high. Summer of course allows you to swim, enjoy more of the outdoors and try different foods. No matter which season you choose to visit, the climate is relatively temperate and, in general, doesn't experience extremes during either summer or winter. Overall, spring (late March to early June) and autumn (September to November) are the best times to visit, when it's usually warm and dry. Before you start planning your trip to London be sure to call or email me. I’d love to help you to do exactly what you want to.

Let's Talk Flights to London

How long does it actually take to get to London? Great question! And I’ve got some answers for you. Let’s talk flights. The flight time from New York to London is about 7.5 hours. The return flight time from London to New York is about 8.5 hours. The flight time from the west coast, specifically Los Angeles is approximately 11.5 hours, and 10 hours from Vancouver. In general, flights from Europe to the US take longer than flights from the US to Europe due to differences in tailwinds and headwinds. Supersonic planes once only took 3.5 hours to cross the pond but since the end of the Concorde era there have been no more. We hope to see them again soon though! Imagine deciding to go to London at lunch time and being there by dinner! So no matter where you’re flying from, be sure to reach out to me today by phone or email to discuss your trip to London.
