Re: london and paris trip

The summer weather in London as quoted is just like November Hong Kong weather. A light jacket will do, bearing in mind there is generally no air conditioning in public transport, restaurant, and etc.

A coat will cause you some incovenience when you move around the city - sweat through if you don't want to carry it, but keep putting it on. And in fact, strange eyes will look at you wearing a big coat/jacket!

Just a bit fresh in the morning.

Re: london and paris trip

i found from the website that london and paris will have temp from 11C to 24C in mid Sept.

I think a thick and a thin jacket are required.

Re: london and paris trip

Whether one thick and one thin jacket, it is entirely at your choice.

But what I am wearing today - a short sleeve T all day with just an umbro wind jacket in the morning.

The temperature in Central London today is 13 to 24C.

Hope that I make a sound judgement for you.

[You need a fleece if you wish when you get up to Scotland in particular on a chilly windy day.]

每個人體質唔同 ..我6月中去london 時 .. 著一件短袖 t-shirt 加一件 jacket .. 落機一出 underground .. 覺得好涼 ..

.. 四維搵d熱野飲 .. 不過有太陽時就暖好多.. 但一收太陽又涼番 .. 其實我覺得london嘅人好隨便 .. 6月時我見有人著背心 .. bra-top ..短褲 .. 但亦有人著大褸 .. 頸巾 .. 唔覺佢地會用奇異眼光望人 .. 不過你要帶齊護膚品.. 我覺得好乾 .. 我在 london 旅行時 .. 個咀唇爆晒擦 .. 個仔對腳乾到出濕疹 .. 要即時買 vaseline 搽 :-( :-( .. 不過 BigQ 講得好岩 .. 所有 underground, 巴士, 公司, 商場都無冷氣 .. 入到去會好焗好熱 .. 所以要帶一d容易穿著嘅衫好d ..

Re: london and paris trip

I will take long sleeve tee, a fleece and an outer jacket. (just like the one of the brand "Columbia") . Will it be too "誇張" ?

Re: london and paris trip

See the website of BA for detailed information about in flight catering.

You know what - not only BA is affected, CX as well; because they have the same contractor in London.

So as what suggested by BA, use the lounge as much as you can before you board the flight!

Re: london and paris trip

Here I would suggest short sleeve T, plus long sleeve casual shirt, and a fleece jacket - that you really only needs when it is early in the morning or late at night (the sun still sets around 9 pm now).

Do bring a disposable rain coat - that is the weather in London/UK. It still rains about once per week now.

Do enjoy your trip!

Re: london and paris trip

我都建議著短袖衫打底, 因為tube & 餐廳都幾熱幾焗; 外面就著d易著易除既. 落起雨真係幾凍架, 著fleece一d唔誇張.

Re: london and paris trip

KristyMum,Ding and BigQ

Thanks for the reminder. I will bring a raincoat with me.

Hope that it will be sunny days during my stays.

One question:
I am now estimating the time to get to the Heathrow airport and the CDG. I will stay near the British Museum in London and near the metro "

lace Monge" in Paris. I am planning to
- leave the hotel 3 hours before my flight departure time in london (by tube to Heathrow terminal 4)
- 4 hours before my departure time in Paris (by metro and then RER to CDG2 terminal A).

Will the time be ok or too tight ?

Re: london and paris trip

Before I put forth my advice for the leg between Central London to Heathrow, I have a number of questions in achieving the budget and time:

(1) how many people in your group
(2) time of the day you travel from Central London; weekday or weekend, peak or non-peak
(3) how many luggages you have to carry

A number of choices: (1) limo some GPB 35 per car, (2) taxi plus Heathrow Express, (3) tube - probably the most time consuming and not convenient.

Let me know the answers before I give you some workable advice.

Re: london and paris trip

Hi Sammak

I'll let you know the time and price for each scenario and you decide which way to go:

(1) a limo (to be booked in advance) - I have not got the number in hand at the moment - should not be more than GPB 35 per car; it is point-to-point; it takes about 40 minutes (risk is the morning peak - you may get traffic jam)

(2) taxi from hotel to Paddington Station and then Heathrow Express; taxi fare should be around GPB 10, and it is about 15 minutes journey time; and GPB14 per head for Heathrow Express; no risk for the morning peak traffic jam; a bit expensive GPB 38 in total. There is a buy-one-get-one-free coupon in a hotel magazine (I have not got it in hand at the moment - I'll let you know what it is latter). Then it becomes GPB 24 without the risk of traffic jam. It takes you the most of 40 minutes. Heathrow Express takes 15 minutes from Paddington to Heathrow every 15 minutes. But the disadvantage is you have to walk up a bit with your luggage.

(3) I suppose the nearest tube station is Holborn for your hotel; it is on Piccadilly line; it takes you about an hour in peak traffic hour of tube traffic.

I will later follow up with you the limo phone number and the name of the magazine re: coupon.

Hope you find this useful.
