We booked a service apartment in advance in London and checked into our serviced apartment (Presidential Marylebone Mayfair) in the morning and got settled. We drank a cup of coffee and stayed awake so we could adjust to the time change as quickly as possible. We booked a taxi with the help of the apartment's staff and We started our journey. We were so excited to explore London.
