There are loads of people (like me!!) that move to London for a while to experience living and working overseas. There are so many places to look for share and rentat accommodation that it is a little overwhelming. Some of the best places I found are: * www.thegumtree.com - especially good for finding share accommodation. * www.net-lettings.co.uk - really good as it gives you a price guide for all the areas of London, and gives you links to Estate Agents in the area's that you choose. * www.loot.com - classified style (also a newspaper) that is great for finding flats to rent - many of the adverts are private rentals, meaning you can save on agents fees etc. * www.findaproperty.com - great for searching for rentals properties.
Unique Qualities: There are areas in London that attract travellers from particular countries - for example, Shepherds Bush and Earls Court are popular for Aussies and Kiwis; Southfields is popular for South Africans This is great if you want to move to an area filled with the people you just left back home......

The Royal Gardens Hotel is a 5 star hotel. located on Hyde Park near Kensington Palace and Gardens. We had the great fortune to stay there on our wedding night and were upgraded to the Penthouse Suite! We used the suite for drinks with our guests before going to a restaurant for dinner, and everyone was suitably impressed.
Unique Qualities: The suites are pretty special - wish we could have stayed for more than 1 night - WOW! Staff we so friendly and helpful which just added to the amazing experience.

We had been invited to a wedding in central London and decided to make a night of it and stay in a hotel for the night. That said, we didn't want to spend too much money on a swanky hotel, so settled for the Guoman Charing Cross (previously the Thistle) as it was reasonably priced (by London standards) and in a convenient location for us. The hotel is located right by Charing Cross train station, so is incredibly convenient to the West End and its attractions. It has 239 rooms, and it was a bit of a walk to get to ours….which turned out to be right next to the elevator - not always the best place to be due to noise. We had booked via a "cheap" deal, so I guess you don't always get the best room in those circumstances. As it turned out we didn't have any problems with noise thankfully.
Unique Qualities: The room was a decent size for a London hotel, and decorated tastefully (well, if you are in to flowery padded headboards that is). All the staff we came into contact with were friendly. We decided not to pay the extra charge for breakfast the next morning, and headed off for a big breakfast elsewhere. The hotel suited our needs perfectly and it was a fine place to stay. Not sure we would bother again, as at £130 it wasn't really a cheap night, but it is certainly well located for tourists looking for a central 4 star hotel.

sue- I just got back from london and your pages were so helpful! Thanks for all the help. The Middle Eastern bar Momo was so much fun, that whole area on heddon street is great. Hope you check out my London updates! | JamesBlack Thu May 14, 2009 13:26 UTC
One of the latest attractions is in Piccadilly Circus. If you follow the line of the arrow from the bow on the Statue of Eros and stand where the bow would have landed - you can claim a kiss from any passer-by. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtzvMlzX358 | KristaB Sun May 10, 2009 11:21 UTC
