Weekend Breaks to London

London weekend breaks are near the top of everyone’s list! You have several daily flights to London from Ireland’s airports so there’s choice for you. Settle on a date with your lover and then book your weekend breaks to London here or call us on 041 983 1177.

Let’s start the day at the circus – Oxford Circus tube station that is; take the Central, Bakerloo or Victoria lines to get there. Rising out to street level head north up Regent Street to have a look at the BBC headquarters that is Broadcasting House, the home of radio, situated at Langham/ Portland Place. It was modernised and extended in the early 2000’s and it’s from here they’ve been transmitting to the world since 1932. It’s not open to the public but there is a gift shop on site to help you start the day’s consuming.

Just across the road is the quaint Church of All Souls built by John Nash in the 1820’s of Bath stone. As you’re so close it’s worth just popping over to view it and perhaps venture inside for a few minutes quiet and solitude from the noise and bustle all around.

We’re off to the waxworks today, via a trek, so from here head back out to the world and turn right/ north along the street called Portland Place (alongside Broadcasting House) for 100m to the intersection with Duchess Street. Turn left/ west into it for 80m, through the intersection with Mansfield Street and along Mansfield Mews for another 50m until you reach the intersection with Harley Street, home to over 3,000 medical professionals and more than 200 clinics – the most sophisticated medical practitioners in London, and perhaps the planet.

Turn right/ north along Harley Street for 500m, just to say you’ve been there and you’re now at the junction with the busy Marylebone Road; left/ west along Marylebone Road for 600m passing Madame Tussaud’s waxworks (for now) to the junction with Baker Street. Right/ north for two reasons: you want to be able to tell everyone at home that just like Gerry Rafferty in the late 1970’s you too wound your way down Baker Street (even if only for a few metres). Also, let’s visit a famous address where the person concerned never actually lived……yes, we’re off to 221B Baker Street, home of the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes created by Sir Authur Conan Doyle in the 1880’s. It’s about 400m up Baker Street to Sherley’s house and at it is a museum where you are greeted by his housekeeper, Mrs. Hudson, and shown to his rooms which he shared with Dr. Watson.

After a spot of lunch in the area backtrack to Madame Tussauds (now without the apostrophe) founded by the French wax sculptor Marie Tussaud in 1835 which you passed earlier. In there you can expect to meet a bunch of film stars, rock stars, sports stars, world leaders, celebrities and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (possibly for the second tim in two days………). Please note that the Chamber of Horrors closed permanently in 2016. Right next door to the waxworks used be the London Planetarium giving tours of the Universe but it amalgamated with Tussauds and now gives shows of Marvel characters included in your waxwork ticket. Entrance prices have gone up since the writer was a boy and always check opening times before you visit any tourist attraction anywhere.

You will still need enough energy now to stagger back to your Arrow Tours hotel for a rest! ©ArrowTours
