I'm Never Staying with Howard Again
ChocolateLady about Howard Winchester (London)
While this is very cheap and very conveniently located for transportation, the rooms here were so uncomfortable and tiny that there's little we could do to get any relief besides leave. The staff were basically okay, and the breakfast wasn't horrid, but unless you are looking for just a basic room [...]

single traveller staying one night
guest about Heatherbank Guest House (London)
Greeting on arrival was a little abrupt -expressing surprise that I had been able to just walk in through front door. Room excellent throughout Breakfast -coffee and beans cold but otherwise substantial and good value for money. Again staff attitude rather abrupt. Would like to try elsewhere as [...]

Enter at your peril
serendipity about London Dungeon (London)
London Dungeon On a recent visit to London with friends, the attraction the two children most wanted to visit was the London Dungeon. I had been some time ago to York Dungeon, and assumed it would be a bit scary but bearable. The London dungeon is located on Tooley Street and when we had got [...]

Swinging Rococo
MALU about The Wallace Collection (London)
Not even ten minutes on foot away from the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street the connoisseur tourist finds Manchester Square with the Hartford House on one side. The building contains one of the worlds finest private collections ever assembled by a single family, and since 1897 when the widow of [...]

The Gods Live In Suburbia
MALU about Shri Swaminarayan Mandir (London)
THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE MANDIR A trip by tube to Neasden, a grim suburb in the north west of London, then a 15 minute walk through a very cheap neighbourhood with concrete flyovers and the most hideous old and new factories in a treeless area of mud spattered junk. And suddenly we see [...]

The Grand-ish Strand
nickwock about Strand Palace (London)
When Lee Mead won BBC's 'Any Dream Will Do' my mum was ecstatic. She had probably spent half her wages voting for him, so tickets to see him play Joseph were an obvious choice for her birthday in November last year. Thinking it was a brilliant idea, she then invited my nan and aunt, and just for [...]

One Big Adventure!
daylelisahall about Chessington World of Adventures (London)
My boyfriend and I recently visited Chessington World of Adventures in Surrey. LOCATION Chessington World of Adventure's is located just off junction 9 on the M25 and is very well signposted so finding this attraction isn't an issue at all. PRICE If you plan to purchase tickets when you [...]

Staying in the middle of a Monopoly board
Juleshobs about Ibis London City (London)
Having to travel from time to time for work and more and more lately finding that I can no longer fit everything I need to do into one day I have been checking out a few hotels near to my Company's office in London. This time it was the IBIS, IBIS are part of the Accor group which can have its [...]

comfortable business hotel in central location
ProfMagellan about Marriott London Marble Arch (London)
This was a comfortable hotel with a friendly and professional staff. The bedroom was a bit drab but the bathroom was modern and functional. Room service food was prompt and good. [...]

this hotel needs renovation urgently
ProfMagellan about Le Meridien Piccadilly (London)
This hotel should close down whilst it undergoes a complete renovation. It is simply not up to the demands of the new century. Travellers' tastes and expectations have evolved since 1985 and the Starwood chain should realize that. This is at best a three star hotel masquerading as a five star. I [...]

It wasn't what we expected!
frankiecesca about Blue Bells (London)
Overall for me this is the kind of place to stay if on a tight budget but wanting the specific area. I could only find this one within my budget within the area of Notting Hill and wanted to be able to walk to the Royal Albert Hall if I chose to (which we did) and it took us about 20 minutes of [...]

Fourth Plinth, or What You Will...
InvertedCommas about The Fourth Plinth Project (London)
During my many visits throughout the years to Trafalgar Square, it has gone through many considerable, yet subtle, changes. The Fourth Plinth Project is a project which openly highlights one of these on-going changes. Upon arrival to this square, the first thing you will undoubtedly notice [...]

There's No Place Like Camden
InvertedCommas about Camden Market (London)
As a baggy jean'd, skate shoe wearing teenager of the late 90s, Camden was the ultimate weekend haunt. It was the one place you could get anything you wanted that you couldn't get anywhere else. Camden holds many memories of my latter teenage years; I got a couple of my first piercings there, [...]

They don't care about you!!!!!!
rsampson about Cedar Guest House (London)
The customer service is rubbish. I didn't actually stay here but had to cancel due to a change in bedding arrangements which they couldn't meet. I cancelled over the phone, and further to this couldn't access my reservation online. job done. Or at least that's what i thought. Who ever i spoke to [...]

Not Perfect But Not Far Off
daylelisahall about Hilton Wembley Plaza (London)
I would recommend this hotel to others. Booking the hotel was nice and simple. I went to the Hilton website, found the relevant hotel and booked a double room for the 16th February. Shortly afterwards I received a confirmation email from the website informing me that my booking had been made. The [...]

An Exciting Experience
Jamie73 about British Airways London Eye (London)
Although I only live a 90 minute drive from London, I dont visit this City as often as I could do. The London Eye has been sponsored by British Airways since 1996 but it wasnt until last year that I actually got the chance to take a ‘flight on the London Eye. The London Eye took six years to be [...]

Hilton Wembley Plaza
Jamie73 about Hilton Wembley Plaza (London)
I would stay here again and would also like to explain what happened whilst we stayed which was both frustrating and yet very pleasing. We were woken at 7 am on the morning after our night stay to just check my details ( name etc) and they apologised and of course hung up and rolled back to sleep [...]

On The Doorstep Of Heathrow Airport
Jamie73 about Sheraton Skyline (London)
I would highly recommend this hotel for people wanting to stay nearby to Heathrow airport, although be aware that the food inside the hotel is expensive and so is the parking but you would expect high rates of parking in London anyway. I felt that I got a really good deal paying £50 for our double [...]

Perfect place to have a walk and to eat for few pounds..
giulia about Camden Market (London)
Camden market is a "must": it must be seen. It is not just for the variety of merchandising, but also because it makes the fashion. Most of the cult accessorises comes from it. You can be inspirated in every style you are looking for, except for the ordinary. The ordinary is absolutly banned [...]

An Oasis in the desert
squidge about Hyde Park (London)
When I was a 16, many years ago, I went to six form college just off High Street Kensington, and I lived in a youth hostel, just off Notting Hill Gate. To get to college from the hostel, I had the choice between taking a bus, the underground or walking. Having tested all three possibilities, I soon [...]
