Hyde Park tube station
160 Old Park Lane. Mayfair
Alittle Trivia: the first guitar in the Hard Rock was Eric Clapton, starting the guitar theme for the restaurant chain. Once his guitar was hung, the rest of the rocker stars hopped on the bandwagon and had to have their hung.
The food was excellent, nice presentation and well – OK – gone in a snap!

INFO ON London Eye: At 135 metres, the Coca-Cola London Eye is one of the world's tallest observation wheels, providing up to 40-kilometre panoramic views on a clear day. The gradual rotation in one of the 32 high-tech glass capsules takes approximately 30 minutes, offering breathtaking views of London and its famous landmarks such as Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, St Paul's Cathedral, 30 St Mary Axe ('The Gherkin'), Canary Wharf and so on. This was relaxing and a nice break for our weary feet!
Note: when in London, wear very comfy shoes.
