Jolly genius's world

'Make the most of your opportunities' is my motto. Explore, be adventurous and learn. Every journey in life is a learning experience. As a mother and educator, I do deserve a restful break, however it tends to be a busman's holiday most of the time. This is raw travel without the frills, I pay for myself or usually am able to scrape the airfare and the rest sorts itself out.

    Hi, I would recommend getting a bus to Heathrow central bus station or Hatton Cross. You can get the Underground (Piccadilly line ). This will take you to the heart of London. It uses tap on/off---use google/apple pay or your bank card as cashless systems on TFL transport. London has lots to offer, do the sights, lots of walking but very doable. Any advice let me know, happy to help.

  • @jollygeniussworld

    Hi it was under 8 hours, if I remember correctly I think it was 6 hours. On arrival head straight to the harbour, take ferry and go up to Victoria Peak, then you can have the rest of the time shopping/sightseeing and make your way back to the airport. That is what I did, on hindsight I could have added more but I was worried about potential queues at immigration etc so I played safe. Enjoy your trip :)
