We took a break from life at the ranch in summer 2019 and jetted off to Europe for a a short trip. We flew to London and spent an evening in the city. When I lived in the UK I usually stayed in Knightsbridge, as that’s where one of better hostels was located. This time, since our budget wasn’t so meager, I decided it would be fun to stay near one of my favorite spots, Camden Market. (Agent Smith has not spent oodles of time in London or Europe, and was more than happy for me to plan large portions of the trip.) As luck would have it, there’s an IHG hotel located just across the canal and I was able to snag us a penthouse room–go membership points!
So we arrived at Gatwick, hopped the train into the city and located our hotel. After showers and coffee, we headed down to the market. A bit of lunch and a bit of shopping then followed.
When I say penthouse, I really mean penthouse. Our room was on the top floor and had a balcony that overlooked the canal and Camden Lock.
After a tasty dinner and some sake at the Sushi Salsa next door to the hotel, we collapsed into bed to be up early to catch a train.
