Hotel Hamlet, Helsingor

Advantages: beautiful hotel, given a room with a terrace
Disadvantages: Out of season there isnt a huge amount to do

...~~~~First Impressions~~~~ When driving up to the hotel you are immediately struck by how lovely this Edwardian building is. The building has been extended to include more bedrooms and a business/conference centre. And we were more then pleased when we seen it. From the driveway, we could see lovely rooms with balconies and we could see into the restaurant and a conservatory style coffee area. Facing the hotel was a park which had a playground and pitch within it, a pleasant enough view. There was plenty of parking in the car park and parking was free during our stay. The hotel reception was small but beautiful, very in-keeping with the Edwardian building it was housed in.

...I know this hotel from as it is quite near to where I live. When my now husband and I were looking for venues for our wedding reception, it was one of the first hotels we went to see.

...Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park is a wonderful green space hidden among the flats and tower blocks of London's East End. It is only a mile from the City of London, yet contains a huge variety of plant, bird and insect life. Formerly a working cemetery, it was laid out in 1841 after an act of parliament which closed the inner city churchyard cemeteries because they were completely full. And I mean they were stuffed. There are stories of people going to bury relatives, only to find when they got there that the grave diggers were stamping down on the previous occupants to make room for the new bodies. Yeuch!!!! So 7 new cemeteries were opened around London, Abney Park, Nunhead, Highgate, Kensal Green, Brompton, West Norwood and finally Tower Hamlets. Originally 27 acres, the land was divided into consecrated and unconsecrated ground... Read review
