Harry and Lulu's London Flat

Our London flat is small - but it has a fantastic location right by the British Museum. It is an easy walk to the Theatre District. There is Euston Train Station just up the street and Goodge Underground Station down the street.

Florida State provides housing for the faculty as part of the package. We saw an advertisement offering apartments in the same building for 600 pounds a week - which would be about $1000. We were offered a 2 bedroom unit for 50 pounds more a week and a 3 bedroom one for 150 pounds a week. The 3 bedroom one comes with 2 bathrooms.

This year the dollar is worth quite a bit more than last year. A pound is worth $1.60 now - but last year a pound was worth $2.00. So far the difference is easily noted. We just got back from shopping at Argo - a catalog store - and bought a toaster for 4.47 pounds.
