London: The Nadler, London Downtown & Bill Nighy

When we were in London, this is where we stayed. 
 The Nadler Victoria - 3 stars boutique hotel within close proximity to Buckingham Palace and major London attractions.


Our room was spacious enough. Let's not forget we were in London.
To my delight, the bathroom had a heated tower rail as well!


Some pictures of London downtown.


The weather in the UK was almost unpredictable. Overcast sky at most times.


The Londoner's China Town! Errr... I don't like it at all...


What's so special about No. 29 St James Place, London?


Sir Winston Churchill (Prime Minister of the UK during WWII) used to live here.


Exploring the London high streets.


Stopped by a French cafe for cups of coffee.


The flakiest croissant ever! These guys were expert!


So much shoppings to fulfil. So little days to accomplish.

My first shopping loot - Michael Kors leather flats from Shelfridges.


This is Liberty - A department store on Regent Street which sells luxury goods.


At Liberty, Alex spotted the award-winning English actor - Bill Nighy.
He looks exactly like this in real person.


It was an incredible surprise to bump into an international celebrity like Nighy.
There was one other shopper who went up to shake his hand and said how proud he was to meet him at this setting. I was tempted to do the same but we then thought -
Well, this guy is genuinely seeking some peace and quietness out of the limelight.
We should really abandon that terrible thought!

Bill Nighy became known for his performance in Love Actually.



Bill Nighy as Professor Rufus in Harry Potter.


Bill Nighy as Davy Jones in Pirates of The Caribbean.


We spent 6 nights at The Nadler before moving to Conrad Hotel at St James.

I look forward to sharing more of my UK stories with you in the next update.
