Don't rent a car ever in London, waste of time waste of money! You need to get to know the subways routs or apps for transportation. Watch out using your phone on the roads ! Must visit the Hyde park, Oxford street at daytime and Piccadilly at night.

Don't be afraid to use the Underground! Use Apple Maps, put in where you want to go, choose train icon, the app will walk you to the correct train and show you which stop to get off. No need to buy a ticket, just tap cc or phone. Faster than a cab.

Overall, London is beautiful, transportation is easy and around the clock. One major thing to highlight is keep your phone safe, my wife was picked pocket and lost her brand new phone while walking in Camden Market. Always keep your phone in your bag

London has incredible historic sights & very efficient public transportation. The only drawback-the overwhelming number of tourists in July (as I was one of them). I was impressed w/city cleanliness (almost no trash despite few trash cans available).

Chritmas is massively celebrated across london. The lights are amazing everywhere. But be prepared for a sea of tourists. Almost every pub and restaurant had a queue. Faboulous for the British ecconomy. We did 31,000 steps in one afternoon/evening sh
"Fantastic value for money in my opinion- Lovely facilities, friendly staff, great location and most important spotlessly clean! My child has eczema and at 4am in the morning messaged them about possibly getting hollow fibre pillows and duvet (thinking for the next day) 2 minutes later and had a knock at the door with the new bedding! Will definitely be returning and 100% recommend."
"Centrally located, easy walks to some major attractions. We liked the room size, the cleanliness and the overall condition of the hotel room. The windows insulate the room well from any street noise. "
