Arrived London Heathrow at 0530.  Walked for a very long way to collect our bags and get through customs.  Onto a transfer bus and off to the Hotel Renaissance London Heathrow Hotel (not too bad).  Unpacked a bit then had a couple of hours rest.  At 1000 we walked to the EuropCar Hire Car Depot to pick up the car about 2Km (Very busy when we got there).   We ended up with a red Skoda manual.  I am re-learning how to drive a manual car, its been a few years.
