Downtown London
In early September, I flew from DFW to London Heathrow and spent one week working in downtown London. This was an interesting week as there were large protests in London when I arrived and a large protest on the day I left. Also, the underground train operators were on strike in London which made a mess of all the traffic.

One thing that made the trip interesting was that I stayed in the middle of downtown old London city at Trafalgar Square. We stayed at the Trafalgar St. James Hotel in the heart of central London. So, I was across the street from Trafalgar Square and several blocks away from Piccadilly Circus and a quick walk over to Buckingham Palace. Also, it is very close to Westminster Abbey, Parliament and Big Ben.
My company hosted a dinner event in the historic underground Churchill War Rooms to have drinks with customers. I was very surprised that you could rent a reception area in the same underground command center that World War II was run from.
