Hotels in London

London's climate is not an essential consideration as the city is enjoyable at all times of year. Whatever time of year an umbrella is always a wise accessory. Midsummer, from June to August, tends to have the best of the warmth and the sun. However, hot spells occur as early as April. One constant of the British summer is the incredibly long summer days; the end of June and early July experience nightfall well after 10pm, making sightseeing trips all the more agreeable. Christmas is a fantastic time to visit the city with the famous lights in Oxford Street and the Winter Wonderland festival in Hyde Park.

When London’s iconic theatreland and eclectic mix of shops, restaurants and bars are calling, hotels in Soho are the ideal base. It’s where Londoners flock for a night out for its jazz bars and live music. Why not stay in one of the hotels near Leicester Square? You’ll be within a half-hour walk of the London Eye and Big Ben. Marylebone is close by and has a village-like feel for a quieter retreat. If you’re traveling with children, hotels in Kings Cross make it easy to visit the UK’s major attractions by train. You can visit the Harry Potter Shop at Platform 9 ¾ inside Kings Cross station while you’re there. Hotels in Kensington offer a calmer experience and put you right by the Natural History Museum and Science Museum, making it another top family spot. It’s also popular among couples, with Hyde Park, the Royal Albert Hall and Buckingham Palace all within a stone’s throw. Beautifully stately buildings and boutique shops make it an elegant place to stay and sightsee.For a glimpse into London from the eyes of a resident, pick one of the hotels in trendy Shoreditch.
