Went to London and Paris in Feb 2025 from Australia with family and absolutely loved it.

Stayed 5 nights in Westminster (we stayed at a hotel on the Waterloo end of Westminster Bridge)

Then took the Eurostar to Paris and stayed 2 nights. (Weren’t originally going to but had some free days and thought a week in Westminster might be a bit much and we might enjoy something different.)

Then back to London in the afternoon stayed in Kensington for 5 nights. (Stayed right near Hyde Park on the High Street.)

We very much enjoyed the trip and absolutely would recommend, a few of us are interested in all the Royals, politics and all that so it was perfect.
