Colonnade Town House Hotel, London

Advantages: Situated in the heart of Mayfair
Disadvantages: Expensive

...This is a wonderful hotel situated in the heart of Mayfair. It is a five-star hotel that backs onto Park Lane. The bedrooms are very comfortable and large in size. When I stayed there for the new year the service was friendly and the food was excellent. Although it is expensive to stay here it is thoroughly worth the money. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wishes to stay in the West-end of London not far from Bond Street and Oxford Street. It is a good hotel to stay in for short shopping trips or for anyone going to London to see a show.... Read review

London is a service city,shop-counter and a show-case all rolled into one.It has a sprinkling of glass towers,housing many multi-national people.A density of population at over 11,000 residents to the square mile. London once did have walls and a part of this can be seen near the home of the big banks down by the river(near to the stock exchange,also fleet street area).The church spires still stand tall,but alongside them you will find the newer buildings.A sort of patchwork.
