I landed 2 hours before the midnight of the 2019 New Year. I was exhausted and had given up on the idea of going into the center of London to celebrate NYE. But I had already asked Alex where to go and how to get there for NYE. When I landed at the airport he surprised me and came to get me. He said it was the only way he could guarantee I make it to NYE in London. We dropped off my stuff and I changed clothes and he drove me halfway into town then directed me to which train to take. I got to Piccadilly Square with 45 minutes to spare (get wasted) before midnight. An epic night! Getting back was tough but only because it was NYE. I slept a couple of hours and then walked across the street to the shuttle that takes you to your terminal. Literally like sleeping at the airport. Great place to stay if you have a super early flight.
