My Europe Trip 2019 Part XVIII – London Free & Easy

London Day 4

My wife and daughter are both flying back to KL today with Singapore Airlines Suite Class, which is beyond First Class. However, I am only flying out of Heathrow tomorrow, with Singapore Airlines too but with NEW Suite.

Before I proceed further, I wish to inform you of a correction to Part XVI….. you can get cash for your Tax Refund at Heathrow but it will be in Euros. If you insist you want Pounds, you may lose out more as their Foreign Exchange Rate is not favorable. So, if you are in London and the outlet you are shopping offers Tax Refund on the spot, do it there. For example, if you buy a Chanel at Harrods, you can get your Tax Refund in Pounds on the spot without any fees being imposed.

Mitre House Hotel

While in London, I like to stay at St Giles which is near to Chinatown, but they don’t offer rooms for 3 pax. Therefore I stayed at Mitre House Hotel which only has 2 Star but on the plus side it is very near to Paddington Station and walking distance to Oxford Street. The hotel is kind of old BUT the room I stayed in was clean and overall I have no complaints for the price I paid. One thing I must say is that the breakfast offered by Mitre House Hotel was really really good…… everyday I get freshly cooked eggs and bacon!
