Another London Hotel Question!

dmg24

Hi guys,

I am off to London next weekend, and have narrowed down my choice of hotels, but would be grateful for input on which to book. I shall be arriving into St Pancras, and am going to the Royal Albert Hall, but am happy to use the underground so location is not my main priority.

So my choices are:

The Mayfair
Park Plaza County Hall
Park Plaza Westminster Bridge
Radisson Edwardian Bloomsbury Street

I am going towards The Mayfair or County Hall. I actually lived for a short time close to the RAH, but can't remember anything that was nearby!

Thanks in advance - all opinions welcome!

Yep, all have availability, and all for around the same price.

It looks amazing at night time when you drive over Westminster Bridge, the bit you see running up the entire middle of the building is lit up and designed to look infinite. http://blogs.travelweekly.co.uk/blogs/travel-industry-news-blog/2010/01/park-plaza-westminster-getting.html

My concern with Westminster Bridge is that it looks a bit of a walk from the tube, and I'll be coming back alone and pretty late. I have stayed in the area before with no problems, but am probably a little more aware now - I know there are definitely worse areas, but do you think it would be ok?

It's close to Waterloo and Lambeth North Tube stations, even better it's just over the bridge from Westminster tube which is a walk of about 200 yards. Crossing that bridge at night or early morning when the sun is rising is a lovely experience as you have the houses of Parliment, Big Ben, the London Eye.

If you don't stay at the hotel, try and have a walk across the bridge at night or early morning when the sun has just risen as you will love it (I go across it on my way to work and never cease to love it.
