Accommodation choices

Luckily enough, London being London, it offers so many different types of accommodation that are suited to your own unique style. Whether it’s traditional, modern, cheap, luxurious or even something quirky and different, London can cater to you very easily.

If it’s waterfront views you’re interested in, perhaps somewhere right on the Thames – the location doesn’t need to be central. For example, Hampton Court has some beautiful views, walks, attractions and even activities with easy links into the centre of the city.

Or, if you want somewhere very central, it might be best to opt for a Boutique Hotel that can put you within walking distance of all the main city attractions like Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Street, Soho and Tottenham Court Road.
