Hi,

The Cross is in the King's Cross area of London. If you fly in to Luton, get a train from Luton Parkway airport (there should be a shuttle bus to the station) to Kings Cross Thameslink. Will cost approx £13 each way and take about 35 mins. If you fly in to Heathrow, get on the underground (known here as the tube) to King's Cross...it'll cost around £5 and will take about an hour...stay on the same Piccadilly line all the way.

You could fly in to Stansted but you'll have to changes to get to King's Cross...Stansted Express to Liverpool St (approx £15 one way) then take the tube (Circle line) to King's Cross (approx £3). Total travel time around 1 hour.

Check this website for hotels but note that at the moment it's filtered for East London as that's where I live whereas you want central London...

They give plenty of options with varying prices. Or check chains such as Ramada, Hilton, Travelodge, Holiday Inn / Holiday Express. Or pick up a copy of the Lonely planet guidebook - they should be able to give you some options.

Try easyjet for cheap flights - they're based at Luton. British Airways fly to Heathrow. Ryanair fly from Stansted. There must be some Greek airlines that come here too ;-) Avoid flights to Gatwick if you can - it's billed as London but is miles out to the south.

Buy a one-day, zones 1-2, travel card for each day that you're here. It won't get you to Heathrow - zone 6 or to Luton or Stansted (which are actually out of London) but will be the cheapest way to travel around whilst you're here as it can be used on the tube, trains and buses.

Depending on what you want and where you go, breakfast can cost anywhere from £2 to £10, for lunch a sandwich & soft drink will be around £3 - 5, but you could spend more if you sit down somewhere. Allow £20+ for dinner. A pint of beer is around £3-4 depending on where you drink. East London (Aldgate, Whitechapel) is cheap and a great place for a curry.

Entry to museums is free, other attractions cost around £12-15.

Hope this helps.

everywhere you like in proper London is in walking distance, yet you're able to get a respectable map. The Planetarium is in Marylebone not Oxford highway. it fairly is approximately 0.5 an hour's walk from Marble Arch, that's on the Hyde Park end of Oxford highway. You bypass north up Edgeware highway then turn left in the direction of Paddington. in case you have a Travelcard you ought to use the busses. There are universal amenities from Oxford highway and Marble Arch which bypass the Planetarium. seek for routes which bypass via Paddington Station. The Planetarium & Madame Toussauds are purely some stops from Padington. From Marble Arch you are able to stroll alongside Oxford highway to Cambridge Circus (a pair of million mile) then down Regents highway to Piccadilly Circus and directly to Leicester sq.. a respectable afternoon's procuring holiday once you have an interest. in case you somewhat are a 'undemanding northern lad' then you definately could be careful in London. that's a city packed with sharks who will prey upon the unwary (even though the 'locals' might say). on no account purchase something from a highway seller. that's oftentimes extra fee-effective in a close-by save. %.-wallet are rife interior the vacationer streets (i.e. those you would be traveling in) and on the tubes. shop your cash, tickets etc in an interior pocket and your daughter could carry her handbag to her front. consume in cafes in basic terms off of Neal highway (runs north from Covent backyard tube station) particularly of interior the eating places interior the biggest 'drags'.
