Hungerford Arcade was buzzing with excitement when, Rita, Ian, Chula, Sarah, Brenda and Cathy set off to Hungerford Railway Station, on their way to the 25th National Television Awards.
We got off the train at Paddington and made our way to the Colombia Hotel at Bayswater (fabulous place). We dropped off our bags, crossed the road and were immediately in Kensington Gardens, looking over at Kensington Palace.
A short walk further on and we were at the Albert Memorial, opposite the Royal Albert Hall. It was all fabulous. The sun shone down like a spotlight bringing all the amazing attractions to life.
We called in at a lovely pub and enjoyed a hearty lunch with a nice drink to finish it off!
We were soon back at the hotel getting ready for the Television Awards at the 02. The taxi came and all six of us travelled for just over an hour in comfort (it was rush hour!) to the arena and what an amazing experience it was.
I have put together a few photographs to give you an idea of what it was like.
