Rent A Flat in Whitehaven Mansions

If you're a fan of the TV series Agatha Christie's Poirot, and contemplating a move to London, why not check out Poirot's home? You could live in Florin Court, also known as Whitehaven Mansions. It's a beautiful building, and lodging there would no doubt grant you access to this small, gated park. In fact, there's a one bedroom flat on the market right now. The actual apartment may only contain 400 square feet of living space, but residents can also use an indoor swimming pool and a scenic rooftop terrace. Plus you'll be within walking distance of the Tube, the Museum of London, and St. Paul's Cathedral. 

It's a steal at 495,000 pounds, which roughly equates to $800,000 U.S. 

What? You can't afford such a paltry price? Then I can only suggest that you scan the "To Let" ads, and see if you can find an inexpensive rental. I've heard from my friend Gerald Parker that there's a cheap flat going just off Knightsbridge, at a place called Montagu Mansions. Despite the low rental price, I hear it's been on the market for awhile. So head on over there. You might be just the tenant the owner is looking for. Particularly if your last name is Robinson.

Who knows? Renting this cheap flat might even involve you in an adventure with the world famous detective Hercule Poirot!

The Screech Owls on Agatha Christie

In Attack on the Tower of London by Roy MacGregor, a Canadian children's ice hockey team travels to London to compete in an inline skating hockey game. Like Paddington Bear, Travis can't help but be a little in awe of London's premier transit system, known as the Tube or the Underground. He loves the life and energy of the station, all the people and shops, and how automated and efficient everything is. But all that pales next to the train ride itself.

On and on the train rattled and shook, screeching to a halt every so often, jerking to a start again. The girls kept calling out the name of each station--"Notting Hill Gate!" "Kensington!" "Victoria Station!" "St. James Park!"--and Travis, with his eyes closed, imagined how much his grandmother would enjoy this. She was forever reading English mysteries, forever talking about Agatha Christie and Miss Marple and pushing them on Travis when he was up at the cottage. She would have loved this. It was like traveling through the pages of one of her books.

I felt much like Travis on my first trip to London back in 2011. So many familiar names and places, and finally, I was there! Three precious days in this historic city.

Naturally, I had to visit Florin Court, which served as Whitehaven Mansions, Poirot's residence in the TV series Agatha Christie's Poirot. But then, if you're a fan of Agatha Christie's books, and you've visited London, you know what Travis and I are talking about, right?
