What a great base for London and the surrounding areas. Our intention was to re-visit some of our old haunts from when we first met, a lot has changed but it was good to see all these changes. We were also able to visit Hampton Court Palace and Windsor Castle. We did not venture into the centre of London but the transport links are great. The site is well looked after by the wardens which was spotless. The local aerodrome is across the road and light aircraft and helicopters are heard but this does not detract from the peaceful atmosphere. A great pub is the Bear on the Barge at Harefield which has a varied menu and plenty of room both inside and out and another that is recommended (especially if you want to see some celebrities) is the Biggles Restaurant at the aerodrome itself. A great break along with some beautiful weather for this time of year.
