Our first breakfast in London was very Malaysian and we had nothing to complain about that. Malaysian Canteen was full with such familiar environment that for a moment, we felt like we were actually home - ordering food in Malay, uncles having breakfast before office work, roti canai and nasi lemak on the menu.
According to our plan, we were supposed to get a London Pass at Paddington station.
As a tube strike was in progress, we had the option to walk or to use the public bus. In front of the bus stop, there was a tourist shop - we bought a London City map there for our own convenience. After locating the station, I suggested that we walk to the station because it's close by, around 15 minutes walk.
Please be warned that I am a big fan of sightseeing on foot. I have nothing against using public transports but I prefer walking because I want to see more of the city and not the underground. I also would like to avoid as much contact with human beings as sometimes, these public transports are crowded and thus, not very comfortable or safe - pickpockets.
Upon our arrival at the Paddington station, we found out that the booth that was selling the pass was closed due to the strike as well. The person at the information center had no clue either and was unable to help us out. In the end, we were directed to the wrong people, wrong stations, wrong directions and to no avail.
We decided that we were wasting too much time and chose to forgo the London Pass and proceeded to our next destination, The Kensington Palace.
