London tourist season

Over the years I have found that in London the tourist season starts more or less at the time of the ideal home Show in Earls Court.  The show is on for about 3 weeks and finishes near Easter, which is when the tourists pick up a bit, then the week after easter is European holidays when the season really kicks in.  Flight prices from Heathrow normally get a bit more expensive as well.  Even though the main tourist visiting times are in July and August.  There are various events, such as Wimbledon tennis, this years twenty20 cricket world cup and flower shows etc going on for most of the year.  If you are travelling to London don’t forget to check our prices and availability at The Cottage Guest House, we are near Heathrow and hope you will be our guest.  Our phone number is +44(0)2088971815.

Heathrow terminal changes

Recently Clickair, Iberia and British Airways flights to Barcelona, Helsinki, Lisbon, Madrid and Nice have changed termnals and now operate from terminal 3.  Heathrow also looks likely to pick up passenger traffic after the disappointing figures for February.  It is a good idea if you are travelling from Heathrow to check which terminal you leave from beforehand.  At the Cottage Guest House we have some parking available if you are travelling in the near future and decide to stay here.  Phone us to see what kind of deal we can give you.  0044 (0)2088971815.

Heathrow rooms for Easter

If you have an early morning or late night flight from Heathrow, or are just travelling to London and near somewhere with secure parking.  The Cottage Guest House has rooms available.  We will try to make your stay as comfortable  as possible, giving you a cooked breakfast and our usual friendly service.

 Easter being a very busy time for tourism worldwide and London is a great destination for tourists, with the pound being weak, specially if changing dollars or euros to pounds, now is a good time to take advantage of the offers that are available.
