London is known the world over for its spectacular sights, royal history and traditions and amazing shopping, and it’s little wonder that our glittering capital is a favourite destination for a short break away.
On the downside, doing it right can make for an expensive few days. With Omega, you can experience all the capital has to offer, but without breaking the bank. We have negotiated special travel and hotel deals so you can have a top-notch weekend away at a bargain-basement price, but without compromising on quality. The prices include return standard class rail travel to London from stations all over the country and one or two nights bed and breakfast accommodation at the 4 star Ramada London Docklands hotel, a recent recipient of the 2013 TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence Award.
First class rail travel is available for a supplement. This varies from £10 - £50 per person  depending on the departure station.
At just £99.95 per person for a 2 day break in the capital, this break has to be the bargain of the year!

Thank you for watching this video.

Here is a comment today.  It is very nice talking about the famous Arthur of Kensington Palace.

Just wondering if any one out there has an update as he is very popular.


 
Hello,

We used to see Arthur in Kensington Gardens every week, we haven't see him for a year, does someone knows something about him?
Kind Regards

Thank you Chloe, good initiative :)
My partner used to talk to him, he was by the Palace almost everyday, but we haven't seen him since the last winter. Let's hope he is fine.
Take care.

These pictures were taken approximately 2 years ago during the refurbishment of Kensington Palace prior to the wedding of William and Kate.

The older gentleman in the photos is Arthur, he has been going there and chatting with the squirrels for many years.

He said that Princess Diana used to go jogging in Hyde Park in the mornings and occasionally they would have a little chat.

The tour of the Palace was very cute and informational with girls dressed in period clothing and reenacting daily living that would have taken place there during different periods in history.



Arthur was a brilliant ambassador for London...it was so fun to chat with him as I was there on my own.

Wishing the best to Arthur.
