After three relaxing train trips through Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic our next travel day involved flying from Berlin to Edinburgh via London. Passport control and security checks leaving Berlin were fairly straight forward, however it is a major process at Heathrow including being photographed on entry and exit to the transit area.
Our stopover at Heathrow was short, just long enough to check the scores for the Lords Test – wish I hadn’t!
We had eyed The Balmoral off as the place to stay but it was booked out, as was most accommodation that we had considered.
