Non essential travel restrictions hotel stay

Hi
I've got a hotel booking in London on 21st May but obviously with the government lockdown and non essential travel banned, what can I do with my booking?
Unfortunately the booking is a non-refundable Booking.com reservation so I'm aware that, although it is non-refundable, surely there's something I can do if I'm not allowed to travel to London as the stay is for leisure and obviously non essential travel? I don't want to risk travelling down to London on the 21st May for the police to stop me, fine me and/or turn me around and send me home.
I've contacted the hotel and they're being very unhelpful, they've told me they're open for business as usual and I've emailed them twice to ask if I can rearrange the booking for a later date but they've ignored me.
If anyone has any advice that would be great. 🙂

Well that depends who is staying there. Keyworkers, fine. Homeless provision, fine._shel said:Hotel shouldn't be open!
Although if they are accepting leisure customers and claiming they are still open, I would suggest contacting the Met Police.1
