My London Travel Blog on 2017.. Part 1

These few days London and Paris are snowing, and one year before I was in London on 18 March however the weather was gloomy but no snowing. How should I express this feeling? I born and stay in Malaysia which definitely do not have a chance to see snow in my country hood. Gosh! What a miss, I can see snow if I in London today. To calm down my emotional feeling, I decide to write this London Travel Blog on 2017. I try my best to write it more details.

My number one attractions in London

First of all, why I have a chance to go London on last year? This is due to I having a sales meeting at Budapest on 20-22 March. There is no direct flight to Budapest from Malaysia and fair price from Emirates and Qatar Airline was surprisingly expensive. The only method is a flight to one of the cities in Europe and takes the budget airline to Budapest. Oman Airline offered reasonable airfare to London and the Wizz Airline to Budapest also within the budget, therefore I choose London to be my first destination in Europe before flying out to Budapest.

Even it is just an extremely short trip, but I feel excited to plan my itinerary for the fourth visit to London. The sights include a short stay at British Museum, Camden Town, Primrose Hill and Canary Wharf which I never visited before during my previous London trip also plus comeback visits to Westminster and Tower Bridge area.

Time flew to my departure date. I took an Uber from my house to KL Sentral and then ride KLIA express to KLIA. This is a long queue for check-in at Oman Airline counter which took me more than one hour. My boarding time was 2040 and luckily there was no delay in the flight.

After six hours I had landed at Muscat Airport at Oman. We need to take the shuttle bus to the terminal, the weather bit cold there compares with Kuala Lumpur. The best thing of Oman Airline is the connecting flight is just two hours. After getting tough time passing the security checking, I manage to board the flight on 0125.

Shuttle Bus to Terminal

Another six hours s flight finally landed at Heathrow Airport Terminal Four around 1140am local time. Actually, this is my first time to land in this biggest airport, even this airport has 5 terminal but the sign was clearly stated to direct me to go out. There was quite straightforward to answer the immigration questions by proofing with supporting documents. Their luggage reclaims also efficiency as I get my luggage within 10 minutes. Upon reloading my existing Oyster Card, I took the Tube Piccadilly Line which is the cheapest way to downtown.

Oop sorry, it's 6 pounds

If you need the fastest time to London Central then you need to take the expensive Heathrow Express which is 25 pounds but the whole journey just take 15 minutes to Paddington Station.
