Gonna take the other half to london for her birthday as she wants to go shopping, so looking somewhere outside the congestion zone, so kensington, shepherds bush. etc etc. I dont know London, so dont know which areas are nice and which are not.
Not after a travel lodge or holiday inn, so somethign a bit up market.

Thanks oh wise people of  the TEF

K-West Hotel & Spa in Shepherds Bush is meant to be pretty good, quite trendy and close to Westfield for shopping too. Never stayed there myself but have drunk in the bar. Richmond Gate Hotel is also nice, slightly further out of London however it's right on the edge of Richmond Park and you can hop on the District line to get up to the city.

Nice
Not nice

I always used to visit the Novotel in Hammersmith, a very nice 4 star hotel for not much over £120 a night, not the nicest of areas but very close to the tube and some great pubs nearby on the river front.

There's a hotel in Shepherds Bush Called the K West which is a nice boutique hotel.  Its taken over from the columbia as the rock n roll hotel of choice, so if you can stand the braying cokeheads from the record companies hanging around the bar and afford £8 for a glass of wine you'll love it.  And you may see some minor indie stars stumbling around thinking the world revolves around them.  Im really selling this aren't I.

And its just across the road from the westfield centre which apparently is very nice for shopping.

The Dorchester?

this

Easy. The hoxton hotel. Zone 1, old street. Nice bars nearby, near spitalfields market.

Cheap if you book early enough. You can sunday rooms for £49. And for a 4 star hotel, that is cheap!

Good beds aswell!

cheers guys, wil check these out.

k-west looks good.

Kanye?

Interesting that out of all the hotels in London 3 of us recommended it. It's in a good location too  :)

I took the missus to the Grange St Paul's Hotel in Goliman Street, London. 5* Luxury with Luxury Spa and Pool.

The pool, steam rooms, sauna and Jacuzzi are free to use.

It's located near St Paul's Cathedral, but away from the hussle and bussle at the same time. Here's a link to the hotels website: http://www.grangehotels.com/hotels-london/grange-st-pauls-hotel/location.aspx


And I believe this link is to the hotel itself (It's marked as Top Secret, so you can't see the name, but the info on the hotel is the same as it was when I booked it back in October)

Enjoy anyway. London's ace

And to say an emo fag like myself felt out of place in a hotel like that, is an understatement....! Really nice place all the same. Rooms are huge, as are the bathrooms.
It may also be a bit too central for what you're looking for, but their was no noise or anything disruptive around by the hotel, despite the Cathedral only being a 2 minute walk

The quarters hotel in ST pauls.

Right outside the cathedral.

Got it for £80 a night in free wifi..

Am going back....excellent value.

I always liked the Cumberland Hotel at Marble Arch, when I stayed daan in Laandaan Taan you slaaaag.  Top of Oxford Street close to shops.

Failing that there's a nice little hotel, with four poster beds called the Elizabeth Hotel, just by Hyde Park.

Dream of a hotel

London Flash, not Brizzle.

Me and the wife stayed in the mayfair once it was amazing.Mark ronson was in the lift so i said to her 'sometimes i go out by myself and look across the water' when he got out i said why don't you come on over valerie. He genuinly did a loud laugh shook my hand and said that was brilliant.Jon Obi Mikel wasn't so keen on me.

what did you do to jon obi mikel

Got his autograph then kicked off when i realised he wasn't Michael Essien.
