A brief
Everybody know London, and finally I've made it here to witness one of the oldest city in the world. Thank you to Chuong Van Dang for hosting me, not just letting me to use his son room, but also cook and treated me the British fish & chip, with a fine dining vibe & restaurant. Although my arrival to Heathrow Airport was celebrated by the rain(showers) , the next few days was so bright and sunny with the temperature hit -1C for the early morning and about 4C during day time. The journey from the airport to the city is quite easy(although it took more than 1hour). Purchased my simcard + data at the airport from 02 provider for Simon brought me for the London city tour starting from Elephant & Castle station down to Piccadilly, Soho, Chinatown, continue walking to Buckingham Palace, Big bang, Eye of London, Tower Bridge, Tower of London, many more places in between. He also treated me with a fine dining at 'The Devonshire'. Beside that, a visit to Stonehenge - the famous British Heritage site with Yen, who is Chuong's mom. Thank you for hosting me and company me to Stonehenge. We took the train from West Brompton - Basingstoke - Salisbury (£29.4 + £14.75), and from Salisbury another bus journey to Stonehenge, either by the Stonehenge shuttle (£18 for return), or local bus X2 (£2 each way). | |

There are plenty of places you can explore, just make sure that you have enough times to go around. There are so many British Heritage sites to visit, and it is not cheap to enter those places, would be great if you have the British Heritage membership card, which will allowed you to access all of it.
