Buckingham Palace, London, England

I had dinner in Oxford, and then it was time to continue my journey to London's Gatwick airport to pick up Jim the next morning. By the time I navigated around the "London Loop" and got to the Gatwick area - south of London, it was past midnight. Hotels in the area were a bit on the steep side, plus, I would be up and out in less than six hours so I decided to stay in the Hotel Peugeot.
The next morning, I met Jim at the airport. We decided to spend the day touring London.

Jim at Victoria Station, London, England

We parked the car in the long term lot - short term parking was quite expensive, grabbed a shuttle bus back to the terminal, and then took the train from Gatwick to Victoria Station. It was convenient and efficient. I would not recommend trying to drive in London.
What I would recommend is "The Big Bus Company." We got our tickets in Victoria Station, but you can get them at any of their stops. They have three tours and approximately 60 stops throughout London, (get on and off whenever and wherever you choose) with a guide at every stop. They were courteous and very knowledgeable. Probably the best money we spent!
