London-part 2

After finishing Madame Tussuad's my Mum and I went on the tube to Baker street. The whole underground tube system absolutely amazes me, every station is decorated differently. Baker street has benches in an old fashioned style whereas Tottenham court road has walls all covered in murals. Its absolutely amazing how everything runs smoothly.
                 Upon arriving at baker street tube station we went to a nearby boots for a snack, there is defiantly no lack of cafes on baker street though, its almost overwhelmed by the amount of 'eat','subway' and 'pret a manger's there are. It just seems like an ordinary street to me, nothing much interesting there. We got to 221B baker street and there was a queue of about 14 people trying to get into the 'museum'. Its ridiculously over-priced and I think it should be free. Its exploiting people. So in the end I just had my photo taken outside.

Club Quarters-Gracechurch Street

                 Got the tube to Bank-the nearest one to our hotel. Saw the bank of England and the Royal exchange, they are both quite impressive buildings! As we walked up the desolate streets i realised the lack of people was due to the fact that we were staying in the financial part of London, so going at the weekend caused our hotel to be cheap. We were staying in 'Club quarters-Gracechurch street'. It was nice and quiet although the hospitality that you would want from the staff wasn't really there, we only spoke to one member of staff, and its all very quiet there-so it wouldn't be good for young families. But, if like me, you enjoy smart, stylish and classy hotels, this is right up your street. Although the initial part of trying to find your room is rather challenging-there are several corridors to go down which is terribly confusing, but once you've got used to that it was perfect. Our room was well decorated, and had sufficient facilities. A decent TV-although i did struggle to work it at first, an alarm clock/ipod docking station, and a kitchenette complete with microwave and mini fridge. The bathroom was small, and cramped but well cleaned too. Overall I did enjoy the room, although the tea making facilities were to be desired. The milk they provided was UHT milk, which in my opinion ruins a cup of tea. And there was no other shop to go to where you could buy some food. All the shops were closed because there main customers weren't at work.
