Right, never stayed in London so no idea here.

Anyone know of any Hotels worth staying at (not uber-pricey, but no dive) in central london on a sat night? W1V postcode is where we will be, so somewhere near by.

Will be shitfaced and going back to hotel 2am or later i expect, so dunno if its best to get somewhere within walking distance, or get a taxi?

Also ideally need to bail out of london (via car) at 10.30am or so sunday morning, heading north, so somewhere not too shabby for thatd prob help.

Whats the best bet? Stay a while a way and taxi in n back, or somewhere dead close?

Ive no clue, hopefully someone else has

 

Stay somewhere else and get a black cab mate. As long as you stay within a 5-7 mile radius of W1 you'll be fine and won't get striped on the cab.

W1 is Westminster and the surrounding areas - hotels are stupid expensive. I'd try out West a tad, not too far. Loads of hotels in Kensington along by the Natural History Museum et al and 10 mins in a cab. Thats about a tenner or so.

 

Aye, cheers mate, I had a feeling itd be mad expensive there, where we going is way outa my league as it is

Im not used to all this celebrity lifestyle, pmsl

Righty then, so find somewhere further away, hmm, dont make it much easier tho I spose, all a bit overwhelming

 

Easiest way mate - find a hotels website and get something within say a 5 - 7 mile radius of Buckingham Palace. Thats fine. Cabs will be a tenner each way and you're not miles from anywhere. During the day use the tube - you won't be far from a station at all no matter where you go within that radius.

 

Aye, good advice mate, ill see what I can do.

Still feel out of my depth, but I need to sort this, more than anything ever, so ill sort it

Any other advice/info people can give, ill appreciate it

Whats the congestion charge? Thats not gonna be an issue is it?

 

Congestion charge is from 7am - 6.30pm Monday to Friday Steve.

Parking is a bastard, mainly residents only and fuck me it's expensive so if you don't have to drive - I wouldn't. NCP ? Ł35 a day (average). Everything is really 'close' here - everyone thinks that everything is miles away from each other ie. Buck Palace, Houses of Parliament, London Eye etc. They're pissing distance.

 

Well we will be bowling down to the hotel for 6ish Saturday I guess, and be away again at 10.30ish Sunday.

Literally will be going to one place and staying there all night I think.

Ill have to make sure hotel has a carpark or summat.

As taxis arnt too expensive and parking sounds a pain you prob right about being as far away as possible.

 

This place just been reccomended to me

Seems ok i spose and not far, might plash out a bit more tho for summat nicer, i dunno

 

If you get into the NCP after 6pm it's usually about Ł10-Ł12 overnight but you'll get spanked a bit Sunday morning - usually after 6am it's about Ł15 for 4 hours (ish)

 

i stay at the travel inn near earls court, plenty of well trodden dives down there and with the travel inn u know what u get

 

I stayed in Bayswater, right by the tube station opposite Kensington gardens. The Hotel was excellent for the moeny and it couldnt have more more convinent location wise.

The place was called: "Hyde Park Towers Hotel" and was Ł50 a night for a double room including contiental breakfast for two That was booked through lastminute.com as it was a bargin. Id try there mate

 

Cool mate, ill give it a look.
Need to sort this badly, as im off to see the Queen to get my knighthood and become Sir Stavros, or something

More important than that
