Sunday
We plan to catch the 09.20 train from Newton Abbot to London Paddington arriving approx 12.30. It is just a short walk to our hotel the 4* superior Hilton Paddington.
The rest of the day is free for you to enjoy yourselves, with your train tickets there are various 241 offers usually available, which nowadays you have to download from the internet as they no longer print the handy booklet.
Many of the larger museums in London are also usually free except for any special exhibition.
In the afternoon you might like to visit one of London's hidden gems, Spencer House situated just off St. James. From its conception, Spencer House was recognised as one the most ambitious aristocratic town houses ever built in London and is the city's only great 18th Century private palace to survive intact. Following a ten-year painstaking restoration this magnificent aristocratic palace has regained the full splendour
of its late eighteenth-century appearance and the eight staterooms are opened for viewing on guided tours which last approx one hour & cost £10 seniors & should be pre-booked.
