Nathan shares his experiences from a March 2025 trip to London with his wife Sara, where they celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary and rediscovered the city after nearly two decades since their last visit.

• Dealing with unexpected travel disruptions when airport worker strikes in Germany shortened their London stay from five to three days
• Using the Discover Real London Black Cab Tour to explore hidden corners of the city with knowledgeable driver Matt
• Staying at the Conrad London St James, perfectly located across from St James's Park Tube Station
• Experiencing the ease of London's public transportation system with contactless payments
• Taking a day trip to Windsor Castle with time to explore Eton
• Enjoying memorable meals at The Guinea Grill, Borough Market, and historic pubs like The Grenadier
• Finding March to be an ideal time to visit London with fewer crowds and reasonable prices
• Embracing a slower travel pace by wandering neighbourhoods and saving major attractions for future visits
• Arranging airport transfers with XFA Cars for stress-free arrival after a long flight

If you're planning a trip to London, don't overpack your schedule. Take time to wander, look up at the architecture, and immerse yourself in each neighborhood. London rewards those who slow down and leave something for next time.
