London Hotels
London hotels are naturally a very high number and broad group. They are of all types, belong to all categories, and suit every possible pocket, budget, taste, requirement, whim, travel reason and arrangement.
You can start your selection among the many hotels in London by choosing the area where you wish to stay, or the amount of money you wish to spend (the hotel's star rating is obviously an indication of the cost), or the number of people you are travelling with, if any.
A criterion is to choose an area of London.
Here are some suggestions on central areas of London. The links below lead to pages with discount hotels in that area and sometimes local information on that part of London:
Kensington & South Kensington. Royal Borough, with palaces, gardens, parks, the Royal Albert Hall, shopping in Kensington High Street, with many luxury hotels but also with affordable accommodation.
Earls Court, with plenty of cheap hotels. Area popular with tourists, lively, with lots of shops, pubs and eating places.
Knightsbridge. Upmarket hotels, like the area itself. Synonymous with affluence, expensive department stores, shopping ground for the well off, exclusive and glamorous.
Mayfair, Piccadilly & Bond Street. Luxurious, elegant, the fashion centre of London. Only five & four stars luxury hotels here, but the area has a certain village atmosphere. Antique shops, exquisite boutiques, classy car salons and a historic market. French and Italian fashion designers outlets.
The West End. Soho, the enterteinment district, nightclubs open until morning, music venues, discos, restaurants, bars, Chinatown. Theatreland with all its glitter. Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square.
Paddington. Important railway station, with direct links with Heathrow Airport. Delightful district, close to the West End, bordering on Hyde Park. Shopping open all hours in Queensway, restaurants and cinemas.
Covent Garden, in the very heart of London. Right in the West End, Covent Garden means the Royal Opera House, the famous Piazza with its market, the Sevel Dials little square reminiscent of one of Agatha Christie's mysteries, top theatres and some renowned vegetarian and health food shops.
Oxford Street & Marble Arch. Oxford St, the greatest shopping street in the whole of London and one of the most famous in the world, with big department stores, little boutiques, souvenir shops for tourists and more. At the end of it, Marble Arch, the splendid gateway to Hyde Park, with the Speakers' Corner. On one side of Oxford St is Soho. Mayfair is also bordering on Oxford St, with exclusive glamour and opulent elegance. Nearby Bond Street and Regent Street provide more shopping.
Victoria, Belgravia, Pimlico. Close to a major travel complex (rail, coach, underground hub), with direct link with Gatwick Airport. Accommodation for all budgets here, from the super luxury hotels in Buckingham Palace Road which are next door neighbours of the Queen to the hundreds of bed&breakfasts and family hotels that line the streets and terraces around Victoria Station.
Regent's Park, Baker Street, Marylebone. Madam Tussaud's, the London Planetarium, associations with Sherlock Holmes, some of the finest art galleries in London, a beautiful royal park: a paradise for tourists. But overall the location is so well positioned, sandwiched between the West End, the shopping of Oxford Street and Regent Street, the important stations of Euston and Kings Cross, and Paddington with the Heathrow Express.
Euston, Kings Cross, St Pancras, Russell Square, Bloomsbury. Literary Bloomsbury, the University of London, the British Museum, the British Library. Russell Square with its tube station and the direct line (Piccadilly Line, blue) to Heathrow Airport. Euston, Kings Cross, St Pancras, the 3 stations that connect with the North of England and Scotland, and the Thameslink that crosses London from North to South. Kings Cross Underground means fast access to everywhere in London, giving access to all England.
City of London, Barbican & Liverpool Street Station. This is not only the financial centre of London and the business district, where the Stock Exchange and the Bank of England are situated, so a very convenient place to be for business and commercial people. It is also the location of a crucial railway station, Liverpool Street, that connects directly with Stansted Airport, home of the low-cost airlines; so it is a good base for budget travellers as well. Plus St Paul's Cathedral, Fleet Street (the traditional thoroughfare of the press), the Tower of London, Tower Bridge: many major tourist sites are here.
Docklands & Canary Wharf. The old London of the docks meets the new London of Canary Wharf business and media centre. The Docklands Light Railway provides easy connection with the rest of London, and so does the Tube's Jubilee Line.
