Part of the Baker family (two adults and two children ages 14 and 16) enjoyed a wonderful and quick 3-night getaway to London in early October.  This Boston family stayed at St. Ermin’s Hotel in Westminster in a family room (two connecting rooms each with two queen beds, one extra daybed and two bathrooms).  The family thought it was a great location for seeing the sights in London and ease in using public transportation.  Over the course of the week-end, the family visited the Globe Theater, Buckingham Palace, the London Eye and took the bus to the new Harry Potter Studios from Warner Brothers (allowing them to catch a nap in the process their first day there!).  To help the family even more with their sleep during this short getaway, they never got more than three hours off Boston time.  They easily used public transportation to get around except for one symbolic black taxi ride.
