I didn't get to my hotel until 3:00 PM in London so my plans for my first day were cut a bit short. I rested up at the hotel for an hour and then walked from my hotel to St. Pancras station for my traditional glass of champagne. There is just something very charming about enjoying a glass of champagne with Eurostar trains rolling past.
This one is by Paul Day called "The Meeting Place"
This one by Martin Jennings is a statue of poet laureate John Betjeman who was instrumental in saving St. Pancras from the wrecking ball.
I also caught site of this hotel across the street from the station with it's red elevator. Hopefully I'll have more to post tomorrow. I'm going to bed early to see if I can adjust the jet lag.

Hi Sharon, sleep well! Your photos are gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing more, at your leisure. :)
You have accomplished a lot so far. : )
Love London.
Rest well.
Can I ask the name of the hotel? Sounds like a perfect location for your trip.
I find the jet lag not so bad in that direction so hopefully you have a good next day, Sharon.
I'm staying at the Kimpton Fitzroy. The hotel picture in this post is The Standard I believe.
Oh, you're here! Are we meeting up? Shoot me a message if you want to try (but no pressure). What is that hotel across from St. Pancras? I swear I've never seen that building before. :)
London looks wonderful. Looking forward to seeing more!
Nice photos to begin your travel journey. Look fowrd to seeing more.
I sent an email to your address if that is still the same.
Cheers to your time in London!
those are amazing sculptures and i'm loving the red elevator.
