The staff were more than helpful, couldn't do enough for us. The room was comfortable. First night had room service as we had to get to the Royal Albert Hall for an evening concert. It was swift and delicious. The second evening, we ate in the intimate restaurant.

Seasonal guide to help you plan the perfect trip to in London
Spring
Summer (June–August) — warmest weather and many outdoor events, but busiest and most expensive.
Winter (January–February) excluding Christmas/New Year — colder but lowest prices and smaller crowds.
March–May: Milder temperatures and lengthening daylight. Gardens (Kew, St James's Park) and Chelsea Flower Show bloom; Easter and school holidays can increase crowds.
Late June–early July: The world’s oldest tennis tournament draws global visitors and drives accommodation and transport demand around south-west London.
August bank holiday weekend: Europe’s largest street festival celebrating Caribbean culture with parades, music and food in West London.
April: Major international road race with thousands of runners and spectators; central London routes and road closures impact travel.
May: Prestigious Royal Horticultural Society show held in Chelsea, attracting gardeners and designers worldwide.
October: BFI-run festival featuring premieres, talks and screenings across the city.
Late November–December: Iconic lights (Regent Street, Oxford Street, Carnaby), Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park and festive pop-ups across the city.
June (Trooping the Colour) and occasional state occasions: ceremonial events that close roads and draw crowds to central London.
London’s weather is famously changeable. Pack layers (base, mid, waterproof outer), a compact umbrella and comfortable shoes for cobbled streets. Even in summer, evenings can be cool. In winter expect damp cold; windproof jackets and thermal layers help. Check hourly forecasts when planning outdoor activities and leave extra time for travel delays due to weather. Sunglasses and sunscreen are useful in summer months when the sun is strong, particularly for river cruises and parks.
London hotel and accommodation prices move strongly with season, weekends, and major events. High-season (summer and major holiday weekends) sees peak nightly rates, especially in central neighbourhoods (Westminster, Covent Garden, Mayfair). Prices spike further during big events (Wimbledon, Notting Hill Carnival, Christmas week, major conferences and trade shows). Conversely, January–early March (excluding half-term and a few conferences) and late autumn are value periods when hotels discount rooms and travel packages. Weekend short-break demand is high in central areas; midweek business demand keeps prices elevated Monday–Thursday in financial districts (Canary Wharf, City). Booking windows matter: for high season and big events, book 2–6 months ahead (or earlier for Wimbledon and major West End shows). For best value consider staying in Zone 2–3 with excellent transit links, using serviced apartments or B&Bs, and checking flexible dates and package deals. Also compare refundable vs non-refundable rates: non-refundable is cheaper but less flexible around event cancellations.
Insider advice to help you make the most of your visit
Extensive public transport: Underground (Tube), buses, Overground, DLR, National Rail and river services. Contactless/Oyster cards work on most services.
Buy an Oyster or use contactless payments on day one and pre-book tickets for in-demand attractions (Windsor, Tower of London, West End shows, and Wimbledon) to avoid long queues. For theatre, check day-of discounted ticket booths (TKTS-style) or the TodayTix app for last-minute deals. If you have flexibility, travel midweek and stay in Zones 2–3 to reduce accommodation costs while keeping quick access to central London.
