Recommendation for a hotel in London please

duchy

Take a look at Central Croydon there are several hotels within 5 to 10 minutes of East Croydon station and British Rail to Victoria is a fast 15 minutes. Croydon itself has lots of facilities and shops as well as an excellent theatre. No congestion charge and you could certainly find cheaper parking than Central London and of course no congestion charge. Both hotels and short stay apartments are available near the station. Yes it is south of London but May work for you.

Hi beancounter, we stayed in an apartment in stafford which was next to a tube and had free parking included, so we drove down to london, parked and used the tube everyday whilst there to get to the sights - booked it through h0seseasons. compared to hotel was comfortable, affordable and can recommend it - had a kitchen so could eat in or out.

Stafford is in the Midlands do you mean Stratford ?

That's true- it's the opposite side of Londom from where you'rfe coming.

If you're still coming by car, to break up your journey for cheap petrol/meals Tesco's Carlisle, Sainsbury BamberBridge Preston are all good and minutes from the M6.

I've never had an easy journey on the M1 and would recommend the M40 if possible, in which case Tesco Shirley off the M42 and Banbury Tesco off the M40 are good fuelstops. The M6 Toll's worth the money, cos life's too short.

I'm sure locals will correct me if I'm wrong, but King's Cross isn't in the congestion charge zone. There are also some good, secure local parking options available from Parkatmyhouse.com, if the hotel parking is ruinously expensive. I've used a couple of them myself, without needing to pay the congestion charge.
