London Hotels - Choosing a Location for your Break

Historical London Hotels:

Your experience of London and equally of London hotels during a city break will to a large degree depend on the location of your accommodation; although the quality of London hotels varies to such an extreme that it is almost impossible to compare one trip with another. Staying in the West End can often be a great idea with regards to accessing London’s famous landmarks but it won’t always guarantee great facilities. Hotels which are situated in smaller buildings can often be more quirky in nature and if historical buildings are a passion then you may find it preferable to choose one of these in favour of a more reliable but less interesting chain hotel. London is studded with beautiful little Georgian squares where elegant three storey buildings overlook small, well laid out gardens; these once housed the rich merchants and business people of the city though many are now converted into hotels and afford the casual visitor a chance to see and to experience first hand the wonderful architecture of the city.

London Hotels in Outlying Boroughs:

If your stay is to be longer than a weekend then it’s worth considering choosing an outlying borough for your accommodation. The London transport system is excellent and so visitors will find that they are easily able to access points of interest such as Buckingham Palace, Covent Garden Market and West End theatres. Staying in one of the London hotels in a fascinating area like Hampstead, Camden or Greenwich will give the tourist a completely different experience to those who choose accommodation in the more obvious locations such as Covent Garden or Trafalgar Square.  Greenwich is particularly interesting, the home of some wonderful independent shops and market stalls, an entire weekend could easily be whiled away here and since London Hotels tend to be placed in convenient locations for those who are not familiar with the city, there will be no problems should you choose to venture further afield.

London Hotels in the City Centre:

If you do decide to choose accommodation which is right in the thick of things, then you will find that there are almost too many places of interest within the few square miles that is central London with which to fill your time. Museums, galleries, historical houses, wonderful shopping and fashionable nightlife are all part of what makes the city such a special place and there are more than enough London hotels situated within a stone’s throw of some of the country’s best loved landmarks to ensure that your stay is a memorable one. If you’re staying in London for a week or more as many visitors do, it’s often difficult to fit in even half of what London has to offer in terms of entertainment and days out; be sure to plan your must-see locations and your most longed for experiences but leave one day free for a long meandering walk; some of the best kept secrets of the city are those which are happened upon by accident; if there is one great thing about utilizing  the many fabulous London hotels it’s that getting lost is difficult as you’re never far from a tube station!
