Lots to see do and experience. I love the parks dotted in the middle of the city, mini oasis of greenery, people and silence all rolled into one. Everything is CLOSER than you think. You don't always have to use the tube, just get our your phone maps and walk... there are some real hidden gems just around that corner.

We love visiting London I go with my partner atleast 2/3 times a year. We only tend to stay for 1 night as prices can be so high. We love visiting Oxford street and Westfield shopping centres. It’s so easy to get around by using the tube- can be a little intimidating at first but we find using directions on our phones for our public transport it makes it so much more simpler.

We usually come to London between Christmas and New Year and it’s lovely but this year was extremely busy so we couldn’t do as much. We gave up on madame tussauds even though we prebooked our tickets as the queues were 3hrs long! Instead we got a cab to Covent Garden where we ambled around listening to street opera and magicians which always make it worth going there. This time we visited a restaurant called Tuttons and only waited 10-15 minutes for a table for five so pretty good. Beautiful carpaccio starter but I chose badly the main course and should have kept it Italian! They make some lovely cocktails which I recommend! Cable cars over the river were a thrill as they’re much higher than we imagined. Our accommodation was the Sunborn Yacht Hotel at Canary Wharf which I’ve reviewed also. Fantastic place to stay instead of a normal hotel and will return for a romantic weekend next time, leaving the rest of the family at home 😆. The only way to travel is by cab as they know everything and you rarely get ripped off especially if it’s a real Londoner driving. River taxis are also a great ride for sightseeing and they certainly do move fast. Of course everywhere you go there is something to see especially when it comes to beautiful architecture through the ages. The new Lego store is awesome!!! All in all a great visit.

The hotel overall was good. Room was small but it seems like ALL rooms mostly are limited in space but we were able to move around comfortably. For my first time in London it might have been far from the major tourist areas and it was always a 20 min metro ride but it was walking distance to Notting Hill. The neighborhood its in is really nice and quiet so sleep was great.

To tell you the truth, I was not our first visit to London. There are several special places and landmarks to see. This time, we stayed on the corner Notting Hill corner of Hyde Park. Due to that fact, we explored this part of the city - Hyde park, Natural museum, Science museum and the Westfield shopping mall. Moreover, we walked through Oxford street until we reached the Hunterian Museum and back around Buckingham palace in the hotel. Everything on foot. I never used the public transport in the city :D PS: If you love greek food like me, visit The real greek!

I've been to London several times and have felt cramped in the typical room you get at named brand hotel chain so I thought I'd give The Cleveland a try. I was very happy with the room size and kitchenette. Unfortunately, the room we were given did not have the charm you see in the pictures. Our room was in the below ground floor (it did have a large window but the view was 1/2 HVAC and 1/2 patio. However, since I wasn't there for "the view" and was not in my room except to sleep, it wasn't the end of the world. The bed and pillows were super comfortable. The bathroom was small but very functional. A nice sized closet with a safe. Decent selection of cable TV stations. The kitchenette was good--I mostly used the refrigerator and tea kettle. There was a stove top, toaster, microwave, small sink, silverware, glasses and plates. Overall, the location was great--about a 10 min. walk to Paddington Station (Heathrow Express) and a slightly shorter walk to Bayswater Tube station-each had a numerous amount of shops, restaurants, grocery stores, and pharmacy.
