Exploring in London

“Stayed for two nights a week ago and found 99.9% of everything to our liking. (0.1% taken off owing to the miniscule sheet size of the toilet paper!!) Central position with a Macs and M&S next door!! Adjacent carpark (separate company) clean and plenty of spaces, plus, owing to the hotel's current building work, the barrier was not in use so we just drove in and parked up, having pre-paid. Would stay again (and bring my own toilet roll!!)”

“We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! It’s perfectly located, just a few minutes from the metro, in a lively business district with plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby. Great for breakfast or lunch outside — but the hotel restaurant is also excellent, with a lovely atmosphere and delicious food. The room was very comfortable, quiet, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, special mention to Ihjas. Our children were so happy to celebrate their birthday in London, and we’ll keep such great memories of our stay. We’ll definitely be back soon for our next trip to London!”

“I stayed here during my trip from Japan. All the staff were very kind, and it was reassuring that they are available 24 hours. The place was clean and had a bright, welcoming atmosphere. It made for a very comfortable stay. I will definitely stay here again when I visit the UK. Thank you very much.”

“I recently stayed at the Premier Inn in Brixton and I can’t recommend it highly enough to anyone looking for a comfortable, welcoming, and well-located place to stay in London. The beds are simply outstanding: spacious, incredibly comfortable, and equipped with high-quality mattresses that guarantee a deep and restful sleep. After long days exploring the city, coming back to that level of comfort was priceless. The breakfast is another highlight: generous, varied, and made with excellent-quality ingredients. From traditional hot English options (eggs, bacon, sausages) to lighter choices like fresh fruit, yogurt, cereals, and pastries—there’s truly something for everyone. The buffet is always well-stocked and the staff keeps everything running smoothly. But what really makes this hotel stand out is the kindness of the staff. Every team member was incredibly friendly, helpful, and always had a smile. They made our stay even more enjoyable, always ready with local tips or just a kind word when needed. The location, just steps from Brixton station, is ideal for exploring London and also for experiencing the vibrant and authentic feel of the neighborhood. We’ll definitely be back. A big thank you to the entire team at Premier Inn Brixton!”

“Hotel was great from the staff to the room cleanliness. My hubby is a diamond member and we got upgraded to a queen premium corner room which had a pretty view. It was my birthday and they had a lovely note written for me on the desk. There was also a piece of cake as well! However, the location didn’t seem that convenient for tube access. Most of the places we wanted to go had us always using the Westminster station which was 17-20 minutes away from the hotel. Pimlico station is about 10 min away but it was never an option when we looked up directions. Maybe I’m just used to the NYC subway system where there seems to be entrances everywhere. Side note: This has nothing to do with the hotel, but we were walking back from dinner the first night, maybe 2-3 or so blocks away from the hotel, when some (insert explicit word here) on an e-bike came up from behind and snatched my husbands phone right out of his hand! So even though it is a nice quiet area, please be careful!”

“I had a great stay! The location is very convenient. My room was spotless and well kept, and the dinner staff were especially friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, a comfortable stay with warm hospitality.”

“From the moment we arrived at The Cumberland Hotel, we knew we were in for something special. Our stay was simply wonderful — every detail seemed to be taken care of with genuine care and attention. A huge thank you goes to the VIP team, led by Antonella and Martina, who went above and beyond to make our visit unforgettable. Their warmth and professionalism made us feel like true guests of honor. The kids were absolutely thrilled with their little surprises — it was such a thoughtful touch that made them feel extra special. Seeing their smiles made our stay even more meaningful. And as for me, I was deeply touched by the lovely birthday treatment — from the kind gestures to the personalized surprises, everything was done with such heart. It’s rare to find a team that puts so much effort into making guests feel celebrated and appreciated. The hotel itself was fantastic — comfortable, stylish, and perfectly located — but it’s really the people who made this experience stand out. Thank you, Antonella, Grace, Martina, and the whole Cumberland team, for creating such beautiful memories for our family. We left with full hearts and can’t wait to return!”

“We are very happy with our visit at this hotel. Fatima has made our experience exceptionally good. She helped us with every question we had it was very courteous. NurseryI will definitely visit this hotel It’s my next travel to London.”

“Hddn Grvs: A High-Fidelity Prelude to an Epic Day ​Before the adrenaline of the pitch, my husband and I kicked off what was already a bucket list day at Hddn Grvs, a phenomenal high-fidelity listening cocktail bar right in the London city center. ​Tucked away and possessing a distinctly speakeasy vibe, Hddn Grvs is an elegant and bold nod to the golden age of vinyl and the pioneering spirit of Virgin Records. It’s more than just a place for drinks; it’s an immersive experience where you can truly sink into curated sound at the dedicated listening stations. ​The cocktail menu is pure genius, artfully remixing iconic ‘70s albums with a modern twist. The drinks are bold, nostalgic, and totally made to be discovered. ​It was the perfect, stylish, and electrifying pause before the main event. What a truly unforgettable and exciting day—everything about it felt perfectly curated!”

“If you're an American, the room may seem small. My wife and I were good, but we barely spent time in the room. The staff were great, super helpful. The location is amazing for getting to your sights and tours.”

“5-Star Stay at Premier Inn Simpson Road, Bromley What a lifeline this place was during a rough patch! After a frustrating run-in with Monzo (looking at you, Cookie Monster vibes), where I felt wrongly judged—like a criminal when I’m actually a pensioned-off Royal Marine Commando battling health woes—I rolled up here needing a reset. And reset they delivered, Per Mare Per Terram style. Natasha, Roni, and Ouqhiba? Absolute legends—caring, efficient, and spot-on, like the ultimate “good wife” squad every traveler dreams of when stress hits hard. They handled everything with warmth and zero judgment, reminding me of that timeless wisdom: Know thyself, love thyself, love thy neighbor, and never judge a book by its cover. True pros who turned my freeze-up into a thaw-out. The room was spotless and comfy, but the real MVPs were the seabass (flaky perfection) and crisp apple juice at dinner—simple, satisfying fuel for the soul. Revolut sorted my payments smoothly, no drama. Premier Inn, you nailed it. God bless you all—book here and breathe easy. 10/10, no hesitation.”

“Main things you want to know: I stayed here for a room of one. Room was big, room service was provided only if you asked (which I prefer), and they have a restaurant you can order breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Something came up with my visit and I traveled to Oxford to stay with a friend. When I checked out early, the staff seemed concerned and wanted to see if they could fix any potential issues. I made them aware it had nothing to do with them specifically, so I hope management reads this comment :) If I have family and friends who want to visit London in the future, I’m 100% suggesting this place.”

“Option 1: Excellent location, perfect for UK tour travelers. Clean and comfortable rooms with good facilities. Staff was friendly and supportive throughout the stay. Option 2: A nice hotel for UK tour visitors. Rooms were neat, cozy, and well equipped. Overall a pleasant and relaxing experience”

“The DoubleTree by Hilton is conveniently located near Prince Regent and Pontoon Dock DLR stations, as well as London City Airport. Situated right next to the London Excel and overlooking the Gallions Point Marina, it offers an ideal setting for both leisure and business visitors. My family and I visited for a Christmas get-together meal, and our experience was excellent from the start. The entrance is welcoming, with cheerful and attentive staff ready to assist. Opposite the reception is a mini-store stocked with essential goods, though prices are on the higher side. There are inviting breakout areas for guests who wish to work or have a quiet chat, set apart from the bar and restaurant. These spaces are conveniently located near the spotless, well-maintained restrooms. The spacious bar offers a wide selection of drinks, although port and sherry options were limited during our visit. Depending on the events at the Excel, the atmosphere remains pleasantly peaceful, making conversation easy. Comfortable and plentiful seating adds to the relaxed ambience. The servers were attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and provided excellent hospitality, with a special mention for Lucas. He took the time to clarify menu choices, which was a thoughtful touch. Guests can choose from both bar and restaurant menus, with prices more reasonable than many other London restaurants. I particularly enjoyed the Cajun wings, and was delighted to find that, in addition to sorbet for guests with dietary restrictions, a delicious passion fruit tart was available. Portion sizes for the main courses were generous and satisfying. Even as crowds from the Excel arrived later, the lively atmosphere enhanced the experience without becoming overwhelming. For sports enthusiasts, there is also a large TV for viewing. Overall, I highly recommend visiting for drinks or a meal—it's a standout choice compared to other venues in the area.”

“Very clean Hotel. Excellent Customer service. Asta was very kind to explain us well. Had a good night sleep and value for money.”

“The only way to stay in London! This was my second time staying with them and it is always a great experience. Clean rentals, very professional, and easy to rent with. It's all the little touches like having a greeter that makes London Perfect a world class experience.”

“I am in LOVE with that building and with my apartment though unfortunately will have to leave”

“Great University, clean and modern facilities, tight security and perfect cityscapes from the Devon House campus”

“My 4-year-old has been going to BDS for about 9 months in the Toddler class... initially I was nervous as I thought she’d enjoy it but she’d had a rocky start to Nursery with not wanting to leave me etcetc. But Judy has a way of relaxing the kids whilst keeping them focused and progressing in their dancing. R. loves her classes and friends there. My daughter did her first exam in July and took part in a show - throughout, Judy kept the children relaxed and happy about both. I was amazed that my sometimes shy child was able to perform happily and the show as a whole was fantastic.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Without exaggeration, this small, simple restaurant, I can say that it is among the best restaurants in London. The food is fresh and you can feel the cleanliness of the food and the place. The owner is a very wonderful and very cheerful person. I love this place and consider it my favorite restaurant. Well done guys, keep it up.”

“I really love the new collections. The jewellery are stunning and the design is unique. I am really happy of my Miss Daisy bracelet and the customer service was really good. It was a great experience !”

“Moved to St James' Street area recently and tried Chow & Cha just before lockdown and was blown away! Very good value, really tasty dishes packed full of flavour! Generous with the extras too :) Special recommendations for the Crispy Chilli Beef (see pic) - best in town! And the crispy seaweed is A+++ Was sad to see Chow & Cha close for a few months but can safely say (after tonights order) they are BACK with a BANG.... Yum yum yum! Thanks C&C, until next time, your friendly neighbours, Rob & Esther”

“I just had a great experience at The NorthFace Wembley outlet store. All staff took time to properly respond to my requests, in particular Garry the store manager/supervisor?? went above and beyond to help me find the right size for my son’s jacket despite of the store being so busy during this period. He had excellent problem people and problem solving skills- provided me with options and opportunities that I did not think of at the time. Highly recommend this branch to support you get that you need.”

“This shop was incredibly busy but the staff were super attentive.This was my first time buying barefoot shoes so i had lots of questions. I was served by the amazing Tibor who helped me find the perfect shoe! He fed back how it should feel and showed me various models and was really patient with me. All in all 10/10 customer service!”

“I used the UPS collection point here and very Good Shop all required product available in one place.”

“Excellent family run business. Very friendly and lovely couple. Always find what I need there. Also pickup my yodel parcels at this store.”

“The service at this place was exceptional. Surprisingly a great hotel with decent parking and very close to the airport as well. A special shoutout to Asher, the bartender, whose performance at the bar was brilliant. His upselling techniques were impressive, and his recommendations for food were perfect.”

“We have stayed here a few times and found the staff and service to be exceptional. Checked in by the lovely Anna on this occasion. We were a little bit early but she greeted us with a huge smile and swiftly went through the checking in process. We had a quick pint before going to the room. Sanjeev served us our drinks. He was a real highlight too.”

“Would book again. Clean rooms, very polite and helpful staff, many options to chose from for breakfast and for me who is a coffee lover I really appreciated the coffee machine they had that provided multiple types of coffee. They location is both good and bad. It's next to the train station which on the one hand is really helpful especially if you're a foreigner like us but there's a bit of noise from the trains, nothing major though, we booked a second night in the end. I'd definitely book again. Parking was limited but isn't a problem if you don't have one”

“Fantastic hotel in a quaint part of London. Was surprised to see that there we many restaurants around and a large variety of shops. Also, Andreina at the front desk was absolutely fantastic in helping us ensure that we had everything we needed for our stay. She was very accommodating and understanding of our travel requirements. Would highly recommend this hotel.”
