I'm in the London for a few days, what a place, the traffic wardens where on the streets at midnight. Can't get a daily record anywhere its like I'm in some foreign country. still breakfast is nice. Off to Hampton court palace, its so far away from london we need to go by tube,train and boat

Depends where you start from

Hampton Court is easy to get to... Many ways too. You could even go to Richmond (cos it's quite pretty) and take a boat down the Thames....

...and causing me to have arguments with most shopkeepers as well.

Me: I'll have this can of coke please
Shoppy: That'll be £1.20
Me: Christ on a bike. I'm not a tourist you know
Shoppy: Oh, OK. 70p then.

Well.... being picky.........technically Hampton Court is in Surrey....

Just go over Hampton Court bridge, hang a right, .....'river road' aka Hurst Park Road, keep straight for about 3 miles and you are at 'mine' !!!!!!!!!!!.....

Its going to be manic though, because of the 'Flower Show' us 'locals' keep well clear! Its all of these tourists don't you know!

Oh and welcome to 'The London and Surrey'... have a good time

ATB Fozzie

Edit to say......keep going past 'mine' for another mile...and you are at 'Walton Mountain' .....
