Destination & City Travel Guide
About London
London works best when visits are grouped by area. The British Museum and Bloomsbury can fill one half day, while Westminster and the South Bank offer a different walk along the Thames. Borough Market is close to several river sights, and Greenwich deserves its own trip. From Heathrow, the Elizabeth line, Underground and express rail service reach different parts of the city, so the useful transfer depends on the hotel rather than simply on speed to Paddington.

What's new in London
- May 2025: V&A East Storehouse opened in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, allowing visitors to explore museum collections in a working storage setting.
- April 2026: V&A East Museum opened nearby, adding another art and design destination to an east London visit.
Tips for travellers from India
Paddington is convenient for Heathrow Express arrivals, but the Elizabeth line can be more useful for a hotel near Tottenham Court Road or farther east. Bloomsbury suits the British Museum and central walks; South Kensington suits the museum quarter. Compare the final station rather than only the advertised airport-train duration. Heathrow’s Piccadilly line takes another route through west London and can avoid a change for some addresses.
Air India uses Terminal 2, while British Airways operates from Terminals 3 and 5. An airline name alone therefore does not always identify the correct building. Within London, use the same contactless card or Oyster card when entering and leaving a rail service. Greenwich is a separate outing along the Thames, not a quick extension of a Westminster museum day. The V&A East sites are in the Olympic Park and should not be confused with the original V&A in South Kensington. Pair the east London museums with one another instead of crossing the city between their entrances.
Best time to visit London
May to September, commonly about 11–24°C, for longer daylight and outdoor walks.

London airport information
Heathrow Airport (LHR). Air India operates from Heathrow Terminal 2. British Airways uses Terminals 3 and 5, so passengers should follow the terminal specified for their particular flight.
About Addis Ababa
Addis Ababa spreads across a high plateau, so even a short walk can feel different from one at sea level. The National Museum introduces Ethiopia’s archaeological record, while the Ethnological Museum sits within the former imperial palace grounds. Mercato and Shiro Meda offer contrasting market visits, and Entoto gives wider views over the capital. Travellers from India often arrive on flights that connect onward across Africa, but the city deserves a planned stop rather than only an airport transfer.

What's new in Addis Ababa
- December 2025: Ethiopian Airlines opened a new premium lounge at Bole Airport, adding facilities for passengers eligible for lounge access.
- May 2026: Adwa Business and Transport Terminal opened in Piazza, creating a new transport and commercial facility in the historic centre.
Tips for travellers from India
Bole is convenient for an airport-focused overnight stay, while Piazza places the older central streets closer. The National Museum and the Ethnological Museum need separate visits, with the latter situated within former palace grounds. Mercato is a large trading district, not a compact museum forecourt, so it deserves a planned route rather than a quick stop with airport luggage.
Entoto is above the city and makes a distinct uphill excursion. A first day after arrival can instead stay with the museum district before adding higher viewpoints. Shiro Meda is a useful focus for textiles and fits a different shopping purpose from Mercato’s broader trading activity. If an Ethiopian Airlines connection includes hotel accommodation, use the carrier’s actual transfer arrangement rather than booking an unrelated city ride. Bole’s international and domestic operations can require different departure formalities, making the onward flight type important for the return. The city’s altitude also makes a museum-led first day a gentler introduction than immediately combining long market walks with an Entoto excursion.
Best time to visit Addis Ababa
October to February, roughly 9–24°C, for generally drier walks.
