janis - wonderful report!

I've only had time to skim through your report, but I'm thrilled to see the details and the recommendations you've given. Can't wait to read the whole thing tonight.

Thanks!

rj007: I noticed the Tourist Info/accomodations window but did not check it out for any details. When my new issue of In Britain came this week there was a short feature about it. The window is open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. 7 days a week and apparently is sponsored by londontown.com

tom: The Great British Heritage Pass is a no brainer for anyone between 16 and 62+. For older folks it is still a bargain, but you don't get the same huge savings. Concessions (what Brits call reduced fares/fees for senior citizens, disabled, students, etc) mean your mom will get into many places for less. One trip I kept tabs on how much an OAP (old age pensioner) would have paid w/o a GBHP. The pass came out to about a 50% to 60% savings. On that same trip I saved about 400% (4 times the cost of the pass).
