Ladies, lace up those walking shoes (but make sure they’re cute because, well, London)—we’re about to eat, sip, shop, cruise, bus, and theater our way through the city. Yes, all in one fabulous 10K day. By the end, you’ll have had your fill of Buckingham Palace pomp, scone-and-tea indulgences, Thames river views, and a laugh-until-you-snort West End play. Wandering doesn’t get any better than this. So, let's go!
Start: Hilton Garden Inn, Heathrow
Address: Eastern Perimeter Rd, Hatton Cross, Hounslow TW6 2SQ, UK
A solid airport hotel with a surprisingly good breakfast buffet (yes, they have eggs you don’t have to peel yourself). Grab a hearty bite—protein is your friend today.
💡 Pro tip: It’s just a 5-minute walk to Hatton Cross Station on the Piccadilly Line. No need to fumble with Oyster cards anymore—just tap in and out with your contactless credit card. One card per person, though. Don’t be cheeky and try to “double-tap” for your travel buddy—they’ll be stuck at the gate giving you side-eye.
