London advice needed

[zedaxax]

I just won a trip for 2 to London, :ohmy: with one of those scrapping lottery thingies.
Amazing but now i have Luxury problem...
We have the choice between Three different hotels... and there all very good quality

I don't know London that well
I know that many of you are English so i though id ask you which one you'd prefer to stay at - in relation to location etc - its for 4 days.(dirty weekend)

Choices:

Berner's Hotel - Situated just off Oxford Street - http://www.london-hotel.net/Berners_hotel_London.htm
http://www.london-hotel.net/images/london%20berners%20hotel.jpg

Harrington Hall Hotel - Address : 5-25 Harrington Gardens SW7 4JW located in the heart of Kensington and Chelsea, 5 minutes walk from Gloucester Road tube station.

I was considering Berners hotel cause its totally in the center but maybe you think that the others would be better?

A true luxury problem...:D
Thanks

scrapping lottery? :blink:

[zedaxax]

you know one of the paper sheets where you use your nail or coin etc to remove the grey waxy stuff, and if you get 4 righ you win something.

[TheDave]

a legit one?

[Jon L. Obscene]

You going to London and you want advice?

Take a tent :P

Jonno :cool:

[zedaxax]

Totally, plane and all - i have to confirm within a few days.
man those hotels are serious stuff totally classy - its going to be great.
Intend on doing the usual touristy stuff - mostly museums and galleries etc

[TheDave]

no fee or handling cost or anything?

[Jon L. Obscene]

Was it a card in a magazine?

Jonno :cool:

[zedaxax]

nada nopes niente - of course you pay for dinner, mini bar etc
sometimes life is beautiful
so which one would be the best?

[TheDave]

danb's house for all i know :ermm:

[bigboab]

All of these hotels are central. You are talking about 2 or three hundred yards to the shopping areas. Maybe about half to a mile to Buckingham Palace, the houses of Parliament etc. Enjoy you holiday. :)

[manker]

Meh, London sucks.

Congrats on the prize tho' Zed. Hope you and teh missus have a great trip :01:

[zedaxax]

Heres a map

[manker]

Nice map :D


do they have chav's in London?Well, chavmeister DanB lives in London.

[Peerzy]

Personally the Hilton cause the picture looks nicest. Berners looks abit shyte in relation to the rest

@Chavs - I found out my town is the 5th most populated Chav town in the UK the other day, i now carry a shotgun and long confusing words with me at all times :(

[zedaxax]

oh no - could i borrow that poking stick? ( for defense reasons only)

Thanx for my map grfx - had to make it quickly so my chica understands the options. (women can't see in 3D so i have heard)

on face view
the harrington looks super classy but its too far out of town
Berners is smak in the middle but probably lacks the finess of the other 2. although probably more Personal.
Hilton is "healthily located by the park-but isnt that the boring part of town-although portobello is right next door? Hilton will definetly be Less personal and i hate bumping into Paris..

[Peerzy]

Stick? Your gonna need your own personal Terminator to survive a weekend in London :ph34r:

On a completely different topic Olypics London 2012 :01:

[manker]

Seb Coe eats babies :dry:

On a completely different topic; I thought even Londoners didn't reckon that we've a hope in hell of hosting the 2012 Olympics.

We might, were locking up all chavs for the next two weeks as the people are coming to have a look at London soon. The only real compitition is Paris (not Hilton :whistling )

[brenda]

My friend is staying at the Hilton this weekend so I'll give you a review after I speak to him.

There is no such thing as being 'too far out of town' when you are in london. An all day tube ticket will cost you about £5, there is a tube station every five minutes and you never seem to be waiting for more than 3 minutes for one.

[zedaxax]

Please do.

[lynx]

Harrington's is virtually next door to the tube station AFAIK. Eating is good round Gloucester Road too, you will probably find it VERY expensive eating in any of those hotels.

[DanB]

Kensington & Chelsea are is very plush, a very rich area

Personally I'd go for the Hilton for the views

Were talking about London not Paris :rolleyes:

[zedaxax]

Ahh finally we get the man of the hour himself -Mr.DnbLondoner himself.
What you say must be the truth.
Do have reasoning behind this judgement.
My beloved girlfriend is coming home soon, and we will negotiate the options.
So i need a leeetle bit more info than "cauz Danb saiz so"
is center too cheesy
yes metro is close everywhere
hotels are always cheezy..

thanks

[zedaxax]

Nice one Peerzy :lol: :lol: :lol:

[DanB]

Hyde Park etc etc, see the changing of the guard and stuff like that.


Personally I wouldn't gof for a hotel near a tube station cos tuvbe stations always attract dubious characters.

The one in Kensington & Chelsea would be fucking expensive to eat anywhere round there

Trust you to know this Mr B :ph34r:

Go to Chelsea and see them pwn whoever there playing next :01:

Harrington Hall. I have friends who have meetings there at least once a month, and it's supposed to be the shit.
