Notes
We took the #42 bus from City Centre (starts on Lower Abbey) to Malahide Village (less than 30 mins). We walked a few stores down from the church at the stop to a small mart and got a few sandwiches/snacks/drinks from the deli. We crossed the street and headed back up the road, crossing over the small bridge. There is a parking lot for the castle here with a footpath at the other corner, or you can cross the field and pick up the footpath at the other side of the field. The footpath is also very scenic with good photo opts. Follow the trail past the playground and toy museum. This takes you in the back of the castle. We just walked through to the front. There are a lot of nice areas to have a picnic.

Notes
You can walk to Kensington Palace.

You can walk to the Kensington High Street Tube station

Avoid pub across from Olympia station

Olympia Station is a Zone 2 Station.

Location: The hotel is a short walk from the Olympia tube station. After leaving the station, walk left and then turn left at the main street and walk about a block. The Olympia tube station does not get very frequent trains, and service only starts at 0700 or 0800, which can be a drawback if you're trying to get to Heathrow. There is a bus stop almost opposite the hotel which can take you to a better-served tube station.

There is a bus stop across the street with several lines that stop there

The Olympia location is very convenient to get to from Heathrow. Take the Piccadilly line to Earls Court and transfer to the District Line. The Olympia Station is above ground which is a plus when you are hauling rolling bags around. The train does shut down earlier than other trains since it is a spur off the district line, but there was bus service that we were able to find that dropped off right in front of the Hotel on the one night we got back too late. Plenty of shops and places to eat nearby - there is even a Tesco (supermarket) about 1/4 mile away from the Hotel.

Just budget the Tower for a good solid morning's worth of time, and then take transportation to your afternoon's destination. Most people recommend arriving at the Tower at opening time and going directly to the Crown Jewels before the crowd.
