A Week in London

We arrive at our youth hostel in Holland Park - it feels like a return to summer camp! This is a photo of our room. Patty's restroom and shower was on the 3rd floor, although we were on the ground floor!



Holland House is a Victorian building in the middle of Holland Park, London used as a youth hostel.
