"Home from Home (scenes around The Ridgemont)" London Travelogue by grandmaR

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.

Corner of Ridgemont

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

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.
