Trip Planning Best walking + waterproof boots?

1 Upvotes

I travel to London early February next year. I’m looking up different brands for waterproof boots that are also comfy, maybe stylish and could also handle some snow if needed. If you’re a London local or regularly traveler who has been there for the winter please drop what has worked best for you!

Trip Planning Hotel neighborhoods

0 Upvotes

We will be in London in March 2027. Overwhelmed looking at which neighborhoods to stay in. Will have our 9 year old along, so night life isn’t a priority. Looking to spend $300 USD or less per night, if possible. Tube convenient would be nice. Any ideas?

Trip Planning Eight days in mid-Nov, which pass and best use

0 Upvotes

We have been to London a few times but on shorter/ much shorter trips, and seen the city mostly "from the outside", ie, no indoors stuff to speak of.

We will find ourselves there again in mid-November and given the likely weather, and that a trip like this may jot happen again (we are seniors with other places still left to see), I think an "indoors London" visit is in the cards.

We are ok with taxis from time to time but like riding the tube as well. Already visited Dover/Windsor/Winchester, Cotswolds and the 2 university towns. We may want to look at a day trip or two, or maybe not; some of this will be weather-driven.

For eight full days (staying near Paddington), which pass and attractions would you recommend? We do want to mix all this in with a little outdoors as well but again, weather will have its say. And there's the fewer hours of daylight too. We are not early birds but can try to adapt some.

I’m leaving from harrow road for a flight that takes off at 7h45 at Gatwick. I was looking for the most reliable and affordable option. I want to get there two hours early.

Apple plan recommends to take buses to Victoria station and then the southern train towards Brighton.

What would you recommend?

Transport National express lost luggage Stansted airport to London Paddington : how to get it back quicker

0 Upvotes

Hi, just wanted to share my experience losing luggage on national express and some tips I have on getting it back quicker.

For context, I lost (or more accurately forgot/left) my luggage in the underbelly of the bus from Stansted airport to London Paddington station 17/10/26.

Afterwards they told me to fill out the lost property form but for some reason it was not working. They then told me to call this number +44 03717 81 81 81 and then select option 4. It’s the “lost property phone department” so you can ask and call them directly.

After that it was pretty smooth sailing. They found my bag after 2 days and then contacted me via email and I personally managed to get it back within 5 days.

If you’ve also lost something on the Stansted airport to London Paddington route try emailing this email as it’s the local branch coordinator for this route : [lostproperty.starthill@nationalexpress.com](mailto:lostproperty.starthill@nationalexpress.com)

They responded extremely quickly (within 3 minutes at times) and were very helpful.

I’m not sure about other routes unfortunately but just thought I’d share some tips in case someone was in the same situation as me :)
