kingdom Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Going to London in April to see Joe Bonamassa at the Albert hall , going to the museums and a couple of shows any recommendations as to where to visit ? We are driving down would it be better to get a hotel out of London center and travel in ? Or pay the higher rates in the center ? Any recommendations on accommodation ? I always find it better to go on recommendations ☺etc many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obelix Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Guoman is a decent hotel. If you have windows 7 and put on the UK backgrounds then the Tower Bridge shot is from the fifth floor of the hotel.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin-H Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Trains from Sheffield to London are relatively quick (just over 2 hours) and you won't need a car once you are in London, so I also agree that unless there is a specific reason to I wouldn't drive down.

tinfoilhat Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I'd get a train down to central London from here - a cab to affordable hotel (with a car park) late at at night in that there London won't be cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I'm not paying £1650 for somewhere to get my head down for 7 nights What did you expect - it's central London. Things tend to cost a fair bit. You asked for recommendations - I gave them. If you don't like them there's no need to be snotty about it. The Guoman is a good hotel, central location close to the City which is why I use it. If you want to pay less find something less upmarket or go commandeer a park bench.
