mrsukyankee (or anyone else), do you know of any private tour services in London that would cater to a group of 6 older adults? My mom is headed to London in May with five friends and they need their hands held. None of them are tech-savvy or will know how to even connect to the Internet while there. They need a service that will pick them up at their hotel (in Kensington), take them around to a few tourist spots, and bring them back to the hotel. They'll have probably two full days to explore. I'm not convinced they could even figure out how the HOHO bus works or where to pick it up at various points, but I've never tried them so maybe those are easier than I think?
No, but I bet if you go to Viator and find a company that does touring, you could probably find someone who would do that. If they are here for a weekend, I'd be happy to start their Saturday off with a tour and show them how to use things so that they could continue to use the HOHO bus themselves (it is quite easy to use).

You are so kind to offer to help, thank you ❤️ I'll let you know if I need to take you up on it but after some research I think I might have found a decent solution via a company called International Friends.

mrsukyankee This is all great! Thank you for taking the time to post about my favorite city. Hoping to visit again this year. Favorite places for afternoon high tea?

The Mandarin Orient - in the Rosebery Tea Room. It was seriously my favourite afternoon tea. It is NOT cheap at £79, but it was a HUGE meal and so well done.
Another one that is traditional, fancy and very good, is The Ritz, for £75.
For moderately priced and still lovely, The Wolseley has an afternoon tea for £44.50
For 'cheap and cheerful', I'd go with The Wallace Restaurant for £24.95.
