Hendon Hall Hotel, London

Advantages: Superb displays, friendly staff, well stocked gift shop, free admission
Disadvantages: Pricey shop and cafe

...in Bomber Command Hall. Using a light show and narrative it brings to life the slumbering W2 aircraft as it charts the Battle of Britain step by step. A fitting monument to all those who died and suffered hardship during this period. Other exhibitions worth noting are the walk through of the Sunderland flying boat, the V-bomber display (including a blue steel nuclear weapon) and the numerous displays of british and commonwealth military uniforms and medals (some worn by famous military figures!) Overall I would definitely reccomend going to Hendon, especially as they don't charge for admission. Howwver if you dont want to spend money, take a packed lunch and keep the kids away from the gift shop!... Read review

...garden. The Holiday Inn Kensington is located in the heart of London, in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The hotel is located on a busy London road and a 2minute walk away from Gloucester road underground station. Holiday Inn offers easy accessibility to all the major London attractions including High Street Kensington, Natural History Museum, London Eye, Albert Hall and Harrods. The hotel also offers a direct link to Heathrow airport via the Piccadilly line and the M4 and A4 are easily accessible. I would recommend this hotel a great deal. It can get booked up quite quickly. A very nice and friendly hotel. The hotel can be booked with train travel by www.superbreak.co.uk superbreak.com Holiday Inn LONDON-KENSINGTON 100 CROMWELL RD LONDON, SW7 4ER ENGLAND... Read review

...The Premier Travel Inn County Hall London is in an ideal location for tourists. It's right next to the London Eye and the Thames as well as being close to the Houses of Parliament and many other attractions. We only stayed one night, but the Premier Inn offered just what we were looking for - a cheap stay but in a clean and good quality room and hotel. Our room cost £86.95 for a Saturday night stay in early October. As well as the bed, the ensuite rooms have a table and easy chairs, space to store your clothes, tea and coffee making facilities and a TV. There is also access to ironing facilities. Check-in was easy and checking out was also quick and simple. Although we couldn't get into our room until 2pm, there was no problem with leaving our luggage at the hotel. Breakfast was not included, but was available at extra cost... Read review
