Day 3.5 – London 12 Sept 2013
12:30 am and I am bolted out of bed by a sound no traveller want to hear. No it isn’t a drunk Irishman trying to get into your room and refusing to believe he has the wrong room, that’s another story, no it is the fire alarm….
I stick my head out into the hall to see people hurrying towards the stairs, we are on the second floor so not far down, I grab my room key, wallet and phone and join the people hurrying out.
Down 2 flights of stairs and out into the misty cool wet embrace of the London morning. People are all gathering on the corner trying to see if there is any smoke, after about 5 minutes we make our way back around towards the front checkin area, after about another 5 minutes a staff member arrives and casually informs us it is a false alarm, you can all go back to your rooms.
Not impressed…..
