It looks like option two may be out. At the airport they mentioned that there was a conference and all the hostels and cheap hotels had been filled. What kind of conference fills up all the hotels in LONDON? The council of Daves?
But they also said there was luggage storage in Victoria station. Option one is looking better.
While at the airport, I changed into clothes better able to handle local weather conditions. I found in my luggage that I hadn’t closed the lid of my shampoo bottle. It got the bottom of a shoe, a rain jacket, and the leather jacket I planned to wear around London.
I wish I had a way to contact some friends here. But this is last minute.
