Traveling into London from Stansted Airport and out via Luton, Kings Cross Luggage Storage was a…read moregodsend. It's located one block from St. Pancras Station. We booked online with Stasher and it was just over 13 pounds for two bags for the day. However, when we got there, signs said it's 5 pounds per bag per day. We should have just walked in! It's a no-frills place. You walk down steep stairs, which with luggage isn't ideal. Go down a small, narrow hallway and give your bags to an attendant. They'll place it in a crowded room and give you a ticket. If you don't reserve online, they take cash only.

This place is cash only. The attendant took my bags then told me it was cash only. I should have…read moredone more research but to warn other travelers so you won't be stuck trying to find cash. A better place to storage luggage is "LuggageHero - Luggage Storage King's Cross" they take card and have you upload pictures of your luggage. If I could give it 0 stars, I would.

I was able to get information on where to ditch my luggage while I toured the city. They sell a variety of tours in London there making things much easier for someone that just flew in. The Basement is more like a lounge where you can also get Contiki swag. It's one of the spots they hold meetings with tours. You run into plenty of other travelers there, so meeting people is easy! I toured the city with someone I just met. Good times!

In my four months in London this year, the Piccadilly Line proved to be by far the most consistent…read moreline in the Underground circuit. Almost never late or with mysterious gaps in service, I could always rely on it to get me where I needed to go. This was often to the Holloway Road stop, which is the home of London Metropolitan University (city campus), the Russell Square stop (home to University of London at Birkbeck) and to Heathrow. Heathrow International Airport terminals 1 through 5 are the last stops on the train. if you are going to terminals 1, 2, or 3, they are all at one stop. There are two different Heathrow trains. One that goes to 1/2/3 and then 5, and another that first stops at 4 and then loops back around to 1/2/3, now headed towards Cockfosters. Due to the loop and such, it is faster to get to 1/2/3 using the one that also goes 5, not 4. The Piccadilly line, perhaps more than most others, goes quite far outside of central London. It can take you to the suburbs and some pretty far-out areas. You can get to Uxbridge or Hounslow or Osterly on this line - pretty distant. Therefore it is great for commuters. The Piccadilly Line also stops in some extremely busy and popular London areas. Stops such as Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Covent Gardens are tourist centers as well as huge shopping and dining areas. It also, like many other lines, runs through Kings Cross so you can transfer to nearly any other line easily. Overall, loved the Piccadilly Line, always in my heart!

My life is brilliant My love is pure I saw an angel Of that I'm sure She smiled at me on the subway She was with another man But I won't lose no sleep on that 'Cause I've got a plan..." Almost a carbon copy to my London Underground review written a year ago. And with James Blunt crooning you know it's a romantic tragedy waiting to happen... "Yes, she caught my eye As we walked on by She could see from my face that I was F-high And I don't think that I'll see her again But we shared a moment that will last 'til the end" Piccadilly Circus stop on the Piccadilly Line is part of the London Underground railway system that has been serving Londoners since 1890! And really with train lineage that dates to 1863! One can only imagine a young Jack the Ripper roaming the stations late at night... Piccadilly Circus stop is my usual stop when I'm staying in SOHO but I promise I'm not Jack lol! A convenient location, really... in the heart of London with the Theatre District a stones throw away and iconic Carnaby street within a stroll. Boots is the convenience store or Primark if you're into souvenir tees and socks. British Pubs a plenty too! Piccadilly Circus stop is also where I met my soul mate... pretty English-ish lady with Twiggy lashes and angelic Bardot lips. We made eye contact and... "You're beautiful You're beautiful You're beautiful, it's true I saw your face in a crowded place And I don't know what to do 'Cause I'll never be with you..." And no romantic tragedy here:) The end. "My life is brilliant... My life is brilliant My love is pure I saw an angel Of that I'm sure She smiled at me on the subway..." Ta! Ta!
