| Quiet street behind the hotel |
We stayed here and had a double on the first floor (i.e. one floor up from the ground floor - US second floor) with an ensuite shower for £65 (about $102). The rate included breakfast Our small room looked out over the back garden which was nice and quiet. We had a window that would open (above). Clients seem to be pretty international. |
The hotel is within easy walking distance of a tube stop. This was taken on our walk from the Goodge Street tube station. |
| Cross street before Ridgemont(walk from Goodge St) |
.We could walk across to Goodge Street to get the tube |
| Scaffolding across the street near the bus stop |
or we could walk about a block towards the British Museum where there was a bus stop for multiple buses |
| Looking north from the hotel steps. |
This bus got almost out of the frame before I got my new digital camera to take a picture. |
| Pediment of the British Museum |
I picked this hotel because it was inexpensive and it was really close to the British Museum. This really worked out in our favor because on the day we arrived, there was a tube strike and no taxis to be had. So we just took the BIg Bus to the British Museum, and were able to walk from there. |

Hi, Rosalie, I love your pics and narrative of your London trip. I need to learn the bus system next time. Your paintings are fab. Will check out London hotel next time and appreciate your tips. | MikeStarr5 Sun Dec 9, 2007 20:07 UTC
Excellent 5 star tips and great pics - Well Done - from Mike and Shelley in that forgotten, very historic, suburb of London called "Barking Town". | fishandchips Tue Jul 17, 2007 02:41 UTC
Thanks for visiting. Yes, prefer to walk myself - the traffic is a real killer for those bus tours - Mum did like the included Thames cruise though!! |
