Corgi we stay at the Holiday Inn-Victoria, a great base of operations. The hotel is across the street from Victoria train and bus stations and within walking distance of Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament. For sightseeing we walk or take the bus, however we have splurged and once hired a car with driver. Yes it was a little more expensive than the packaged tours, BUT we went only where we wanted and stayed as long as we wanted. Bonus, by the end of the day the driver had become one of our merry band and we spent the evening in his favorite pub toasting Manchester United and the Oakland Raiders. (That guy really loved Manchester )

Keep'em flying
