London and related destinations

Forget the double-decker bus tours – the real London reveals itself when ducking into centuries-old pubs where Shakespeare might have scribbled sonnets over ale. The British Museum houses treasures from every civilisation, all available without spending a penny. Witness the ancient ceremony of the keys at the Tower of London, then compare crown jewels to the sparkling skyline from the London Eye's glass pods. Theater-lovers can score half-price West End tickets at Leicester Square's TKTS booth. Trafalgar Square's pigeons have been banished, but the people-watching remains superb. For a perfect afternoon, grab picnic supplies at Borough Market before sprawling on the grass in Hyde Park, watching locals pretend the fleeting sunshine is perfectly normal.

The Cumberland, London

10/10 Excellent
"Highly recommend this hotel!! Convenient location in a brilliant area of London. Marble Arch tube station just metres away. Oxford Street just round the corner. Definitely stay here for an extended period of time in the future. Rooms without a view are a downside and also some of the signage makes the rooms hard to find"

  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate due to factors like the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates may help you save on your stay at a London hotel. For those in search of something different, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and could offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that may help you secure a more affordable option.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but with London's fantastic public transport options, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that’s still well-connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there’s often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
