Historic landmarks in London

“Best tourist and traveller that i have ever gone through. Keep this spirit up!.”

“Throughout our travels, we have been fortunate to experience private tours of many cities and sites throughout the world. I can unequivocally state that the tour with Adrian was the best that we have experienced. Imagine taking a history class with your favorite professor and realizing that the class is over before you know it because it was so interesting, entertaining and informative. Adrian's years of experience in providing tours, his in-depth knowledge of London's history, and his consummate professionalism made for a wonderful tour. From the beginning of the tour and to the end, Adrian did not miss a beat. He greeted us on time, at the designated location, dressed professionally and ready to discuss our customized itinerary. If you don't have a preference, then he will suggest the sites that you shouldn't miss while in London. His level of experience becomes readily evident as he navigates the streets of London by minimizing traffic areas and through his uncanny ability to find parking in the most difficult areas. Unlike many private tours that limit their involvement to a drop off and pick up at various sites, Adrian personally guided us through the site and provided informative and entertaining information for each site. Other tour companies charge extra for such services. Throughout the day, Adrian's continuing efforts to create the most enjoyable, informative and efficient tour for my family became readily evident. From offering suggestions on where we can save time so as to maximize the number of sites, to going out of his way to park in the shade so that we can return to a cooler vehicle, his efforts were much appreciated. We went on a few other private tours in other locations during this trip to Europe, and none of those came close to the quality, experience and value of our tour with Adrian. Thank you Adrian for a wonderful tour. Go Arsenal !!!”

“We did the black taxi tour. Hands down the best part of our trip to London! Ollie is not only super friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable—like, knew all the cool facts and hidden gems you’d never find on your own. Not to mention he is a pretty great photographer and you’ll get some awesome pictures along the trip. We got to see so many iconic sights up close and personal, and the whole experience felt really special. If you’re in London, this is a must-do! Highly recommend it for anyone looking to explore the city in a fun and unique way!”

“Excellent tour thank you. This was our second tour with Tom and, as before, was really good. He kept us and the story moving on but at no point was it rushed and there was lots of time fif questions and just general chat. If you want a fun, interesting and informative tour of a part of London literally steeped in hundreds of years of history, then this is one for you! We will be back for another tour.”

“Wow! Impressive The best made musical which I have seen. Specially that i visited 3 musical for last 7 months in Madrid, Spain. It’s our first show in London so we bought the cheapest tickets and we’re impressed - the level of preparation is incredible - costumes, stage props, lighting, music, lights, actors' voices and dancing are simply amazing! 2,5 hours just flew! Someone says that you feel that 20£ is not enough for this show and I totally agree. One more surprise - view is fine from every part of the theater- we were sitting in balcony and you may see everything perfectly. Maybe small tip is to take the middle part sits. The theater themselves is quite beautiful, so it’s perfectly suits The great Gatsby show. Highly highly recommended”

“Went for a birthday breakfast at the Royal Lancaster hotel, I had the breakfast buffet and was very happy with everything, the service was great, the breakfast options were plenty, with sweet and savoury there was something for everyone, please note if you’re Muslim you’ll have to request halal sausages from the kitchen as the ones out aren’t halal but glad there’s an option for that. The French toast was also amazing. Marcelina, Mounir and Ayska were lovely and very attentive throughout our breakfast, thank you again.”

“I had a great stay at Adagio Sutton. Great hotel equipped with contemporary facilities. Rooms are very cleaned , good breakfast and beds are extra comfortable. Location wise Sutton train station is in a stone’s throw away distance. There’s a train goes to central London in every two minutes. There are a bunch of nice bars, cafes & restaurants nearby. Above all hotel staffs are very friendly & professional. Their customers service are second to none. I recommend this hotel & I had already made a reservation for next summer.”

“We had an amazing time at The Landmark. Everything was perfect! The location is unbeatable with the Marylebone station right outside the back of the hotel. They even have roofed pathway from the hotel exit to the station entrance! The room was immaculate: spacious, luxurious, comfortable and was really well kept and cleaned as they offer turn down service in the evening too. The champagne bar and The mirror bar offered great cocktails and drinks. The ambience was out of this World. The interior of the lobby and bars were so elegant it was like inside a palace. The staff were friendly, helpful and very kind. This was without doubt the best hotel we had ever stayed at. Will definitely stay here every time we are in London. Bravo!”

“Very nice, relaxed cinema. The screen in my showing wasn’t as large as in a typical cinema but this was well made up for by comfortable seating and worthwhile staff! Would visit again”

“Cambridge circus wingstop is the best among of the others. I visited last week. The food was amazing. And the service and atmosphere was so good. I wanna visit again.”

“We took the London Waterbus from Camden, and it felt like more than just a ride—thanks to Will on board, who made it feel like a proper excursion with his friendly guidance and little stories. A calm, scenic way to enjoy Regent’s Canal!”

“Exceptional Stay in the Heart of London★★★★★ I recently had the pleasure of staying at The pillar Hotel, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The location is perfect—right in the heart of London, making it easy to explore the city’s top attractions. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, always ready to assist with a smile. The room was immaculate, beautifully designed, and equipped with all the modern amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was exceptionally cozy, ensuring a great night’s sleep after a long day of sightseeing. Breakfast was a highlight, with a fantastic selection of fresh, high-quality options. The hotel’s attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction truly set it apart. I highly recommend The pillar hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and stress-free stay in London. I can’t wait to return!”

“5 minute walk from Victoria Station. It is in a quiet residential area with a lovely hot breakfast daily. The room price is high for a very small room BUT the breakfast is high quality and adds so much value. Bathrooms are sparkling clean. There is staff available to get ice or linen. The restaurant is only open for the breakfast but does offer alcoholic drinks at night. Beds were very comfortable but there is literally very little space to walk or stand in the room. The proprietor is independent and should be supported for not joining a hotel chain. I recommend The Windermere”

“The hotel staff were really friendly and welcoming. They upgraded my room to a city view - the view was picturesque! The rooms are very clean and have good natural lighting. The spa was a nice addition too. I would like to give a special mention to Nely and Tia, they went above and beyond and made my stay enjoyable.”

“I needed a room urgently late at night, and the staff were incredibly helpful and quick to assist. I got a room right away and even received an upgrade, which made the stay extra comfortable. Everything was spotless, and the team was so kind and welcoming — especially Vincent, who was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I truly felt safe and well taken care of here.”

“fantastic tour guide - can’t remember their name but they were incredible (factual and funny,, a great combo) - took 2 hours to go all the way round but it felt like no time - would do again!!”

“For London Open House and Wandle Fortnight, this is open for free. Dates remaining are Sundays 17th and 24th September. When I visited there was a free tour of the grounds and Hermitage. Incredible green space, you wouldn't believe you weren't somewhere in the countryside!”

“What a lovely hotel in such a great location, everywhere was easy to walk to, lots of things to see and do in the area and easily accessible. Check in was extremely friendly and all the staff were very attentive. We had a few drinks in the bay where the staff were also very attentive and helpful. Rooms were a nice size with everything we needed…. Except a kettle and tea making equipment or so we thought… partner found it in a drawer just before we left! We had even gone for an early morning walk just to get a cuppa and presumed the hotel had gone down the American route if just providing coffee…. Just a suggestion but it would have been helpful to have been told about the location of tea making equipment or a sign somewhere in the room. Likewise I didn’t find the mirror until we left either! Other than this it was great, a lovely comfy bed with very nice bedlinen. Nice toiletries in the bathroom and it was nice to have a separate bath and shower. Would definitely stay again”

“St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel London I would love to share my experience as a wedding photographer, having photographed the wedding of two brides at this beautiful London venue. There is absolutely no doubt that this place is visually stunning, offering endless opportunities for photographs. The interiors are truly breathtaking. If the grand exterior impresses you, just wait until you see inside. The staircase is particularly spectacular. As a wedding photographer, I also had the pleasure of working with the venue’s Wedding Events Manager, the wonderful Lauren Franey. I first met her during a pre-wedding recce visit, and her warmth and professionalism made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It was a real privilege to photograph a wedding in such a historic and iconic setting, right in the heart of one of London’s most vibrant areas. If you are planning your wedding and looking for a special place, I recommend a visit to the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel. I am sure you will be as impressed as I was by the elegance, richness and unique atmosphere of this remarkable venue.”

“We love visiting Dukes. The service, cocktails, restaurant… everything is five stars. A slice of elegance in London”

“The hotel is a perfect location, a beautiful hotel the rooms were clean and had a lovely view of the shard. We couldn't have been looked after any better. The food was lovely. Sarah was fantastic and nothing was too much. They made our stay really special and would definitely return.”

“A delightful country store with some of the most kind and helpful in the County on their payroll. A well stocked shop catering for all needs and a must to visit if you are in the area. One of my all time favourite shopping establishments.”

“The University of London is a prestigious federal university in the UK, bringing together several world-class colleges across London. An interesting fact is that it was one of the first universities in the world to offer distance learning, educating students globally for over 150 years.

“I recently stayed at a hotel in Canary Wharf and had a great overall experience. The location is excellent — very well connected to the city centre by public transport, yet tucked away in a quiet and pleasant area. The staff were consistently friendly, professional, and always ready to assist with anything I needed. The breakfast was simple, but everything was fresh and well prepared each morning. A solid choice if you want a calm base with fast access to all key parts of London. I would definitely stay here again.”

“I have the misfortune to have significant ill health with complex comobidities but have felt hugely supported by UCLH and its caring staff. I have had two recent admissions requiring extensive investigation and medical management. I was impressed by both the kindness and professionalism of all staff.”

“One of the best hot chocolates I’ve had in awhile!! Popular location but less known cafe in the crypt, would add to the bucket list! I know they host events here also! Many chairs and tables and surprisingly natural lighting ☺️ would recommend for a drink and a cool place to relax from the buzz of the above world!”

“I had a wonderful stay at 100 Queen’s Gate Hotel. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome and taken care of. The hotel is beautifully designed. Our room was spotless, well cleaned and arranged, spacious, and beautifully decorated. peaceful and relaxing the atmosphere was. we can’t wait to return.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”
