The sunset over London tonight is stunning. It's the colour of a good champagne ... which is a good sign I suppose.
Up early ... again ... and out to the airport to film the opening to the "destination guide". Then the drive up to my hotel of choice - The Four Seasons. The hotel has 142 rooms including 14 suites. I am in Suite 712 ... The Presidential Suite. Along with a kitchen, dining room, HUGE lounge, bedroom and changing room - the bathroom is lovely ... complete with an enormous walk-in shower. I am not a fan of Bulgari smellies so I have ... L'Occitane instead! YUM! There are 4 amazing windows with perfect views over the river and beyond.
We had a lovely lunch with the wonderful hotel PR Sulbi Lee. She's quiet but effective ... and a very,very nice lady. I had just starters ... very filling ... very yum!
From there we went onto the Thames using a "Clipper" - a much more fun way to see London. We motored down to the O2 (music venue - once known as the Dome ... or Another London White Elephant). Along the way, there was an aircraft carrier docked ... with Harrier jump-jets and helicopters on deck. An awesome sight.
Getting back to the hotel, I interviewed the General Manager - Michael Purtill. He basically summed up London-Eastside ... "the new London" and that the Eastside is where businessmen and tourists can come, have fun, enjoy good food, sports and sight-seeing without even going to Central London ... hear hear! That Michael - a good man - and a good interview.
I have left the boys in a pizza restaurant ... and I am back enjoying my last night here ... and try to get some sleep ... it's another HUGE day tomorrow ...
Ain't life grand?
