London hotels

We are looking to staying in London for three nights 23/11 - 26/11 not sure if to stop in central London or on the outskirts. Looking to use a lovely hotel as it is mine and hubbys 50th birthdays . We are looking at options for travelling from Nottingham. Options are so far train, coach or hubby driving down leaving the car in a secure car park and getting tube/train in to stay. Any recommendations are welcome 🤗

You might need to give a bit of a steer on what you plan to do in London for areas to help others advise. 
I've stayed in The Great Scotland Yard Hotel, which was really nice and conveniently located for some theatres

If you're getting the train down, you'll presumably be going into St Pancras? There's a nice boutique hotel close by, between Kings Cross and St Pancras

Personally I'd stay fairly central to avoid spending lots of time on the tube / buses.

Train coach or car would work, so it depends on your preference. Train will be fastest and probably most expensive (consider a Two together railcard). Car would mean parking somewhere like Watford Junction train station (YourParkingSpace app usually has parking at nearby hotel car parks cheaper than the station) or Stanmore tube near Junction 5, Brent Cross tube near the bottom of the M1.

As for hotels, it depends on your style and price range.

@oggy1975, I’ll move this to the UK holiday board, rather than overseas travel.

We booked our hotel in London based on that we were going to London on the train into Kings Cross and wanted to see certain attractions whilst we were there using the tube.

We stayed at the Millenium Hotel Gloucester London, via Booking.com. Paid £580 for 3 nights last year. The room was okay, about right for the price, but the usual booking.com cheaper rooms. The hotel restaurant was nice, and breakfast was very good. After disembarking at KC, we got the tube to the hotel, and the nearest tube station to the hotel (Gloucester Road) was also on 3 lines, which covered all our planned trips - particularly Westminster. It was also walking distance to Hyde Park and Kensington, and Royal Albert Hall. If I stayed there again, I'd probably book direct though.

A few years ago I used to get a room in University halls of residence when the university was closed for holidays.  I don’t know if you can still do that it saved a lot of money
