We always stay at a B and B. Lots in Kenningston area and you can walk to the Kenningston or Notting Hill tube stations. We've also stayed in Parsons Green with a family. Parsons Green is a nice neighborhood but it was about a 20 minute walk to the tube. Quiet, safe, and you feel part of the community though. We stayed in Chiswick which is a lovely suburb, very reasonable B&B in a private home but you have to transfer to other lines to get to main tourist spots like St. Paul's, National Gallery, etc. Don't stay near Victoria Station. One hotel is actually over the tube and the area is dirty and seedy. Have a great trip.

We just booked our trip. I've been to Peru with Gap and had an amazing trip and shared the adventure with wonderful people. Although we've been in the UK and France, haven't made it to Italy. Any suggestions about what not to pack and what to leave at home?

Ciao,

Hi Skimomnw2

As a general rule though Italy is hotter in the summer than France and the UK but can still rain especially in the mountains. Layering up will be your trick, with waterproofs. A warm fleece or 2, but nothing stupdily heavy. I'm guessing if your booking now then your going in the summer??

Hope that helps. Enjoy!
