28.9: London ho!

I had a bit of ground to cover today – I’d booked a high-speed rail ticket from Frankfurt to London. As I was now reasonably familiar with the trains in Germany all went smoothly and the journey was pleasant. The departure was at a much more reasonable 10.16am.

I transferred to the Eurostar train at Brussels and was in London Kings Cross by about 4.30pm.

Making my way to the southeastern line to Albany Park

Once there I bought a new SIM and an Oyster Card and made my way to Albany Park station at Sidcup where I was met by Richard. Richard and his wife Sharon are good family friends and had kindly offered for me to stay with them while I was in London. That evening Richard threw some steaks on the barbie and we had a good evening together.
