No more layovers... fly direct to Europe!

Aparthotel Paddington hotel location was great. We both enjoyed the
peaceful Paddington basin and Little Venice area after running around
busy cities all day. Paddington and Edgewear Road stations very close
by, and many bus stops as well. Plus, easy walks through parks to get to
several top attractions. Each room has small kitchen. Hotel did have
laundry room for guests so pack less next time. Do the room upgrade!
The Paris Hotel du Continent was also in a perfect location and was very fun.
The Oyster Card for London transport worked great. Heathrow Express and Eurostar also very easy to use.
In London, we didn't get to Hampton Court, V&A Museum, Old Globe, Shard/other skyscrapers with view, or any short trips outside London. Also didn't get to St. Stephen's Gardens/Notting Hill area. In Paris, next time, explore more neighborhoods and spend a lot of time inside museums.

The Poppies in Camden was fantastic fish & chips and we sat on those wooden chairs outside to eat our take away.
The tiny cafe we went into on our first day, and managed to escape a light rain... turns out it was a historic site and is somewhat famous.
