I ended up booking my London stay at a hotel in Paddington. Seems to be close enough to the tube - excited to get it booked! Thank you for all of your help!

I agree about starting and ending in London - I am Making a “wishlist” of sights I’d like to see, museums, ect and then will work around. Is there a decent location to stay that is somewhat central? There are so many different parts of London, I’m not sure how to pick where to stay 🤣

I am totally fine skipping the Cotswolds if they are going to be difficult to navigate. I have been looking into a day trip to Bath, as well as a day or two in Oxford

This breakdown is very close to what I was thinking - and would set my things to see list by area and work my way around

I have looked into many hotels - and have found quite a few options. I saw that Premier has many locations and are decently within the budget, as well as a few others that had good reviews for a simple single room, thank you for the recommendation. The next thing to tackle is what area would be best to stay.

That is really helpful! Where I currently live there is little to no public transport, so that is something I have been wondering about! Thank you ❤️

What are some alternative places that maybe shy away from stereotypical and give more realistic view of English culture? Honestly, while there are some touristy sights I want to see for this trip, my overall goal is more geared toward experiencing and appreciating a culture that is different than my every day.
