London Attractions, Activities and Things To Do
Specially Featured Hotels! The Athenaeum - Mayfair LondonThe Athenaeum is a small and very attractive family-owned 5 star hotel located in Mayfair, London. It may be a small hotel but it certainly has a big personality! This is a luxury hotel unlike any other - right from the start, it's different: it has an astonishing Vertical Garden up the side of the hotel, which was designed by botanist Patrick Blanc. On the inside, there is a massive choice of rooms, along with luxury suites and even the convenience of townhouse apartments. Each of them has either a stunning leafy view or an outlook over Mayfair. The hotel is directly opposite the Royal Parks and Buckingham Palace; it's a few short minutes' walk away from all the best museums and galleries, the most chic shopping areas, and of course the delights of Theatreland. The tube will take you easily to the City, Soho and Canary Wharf, all just a few stops away. What makes this hotel so special is that it has been family run since the 1990s, and a tribute to its comfort and values is that actors Russell Crowe, Dustin Hoffman and Renee Zellweger have all stayed there, as have Mick Jagger and Robbie Williams!

An interesting approach to finding accommodation.... Wolsey Lodges Ltd. is a non-profit organisation owned by its own members, who are all high quality B&B proprietors located throughout the UK. Wolsey Lodges employ independent inspectors who anonymously visit members and vet new applicants so that standards are high and match up to what is expected of any establishment belonging to the organisation. What makes Wolsey Lodges different is that it consists of a collection of private homes, which allows for the highest standard of hospitality in locations where you might not normally expect to stay. Each house (and host!) is individual and unique, and has earned its place by being just a little bit different. (In case you wondered, the name Wolsey Lodge is a reflection of Cardinal Wolsey, Lord Chancellor to Henry VIII, who expected to receive generous hospitality at any suitable country house he came across as he toured England. The reflection of those values of service and hospitality is what the "Lodges" within the company seek to offer, even today.) So when you stay in a lodge, you are more than a guest: you are regarded as a member of the family and a friend. So, for example, you might expect to enjoy a home cooked meal in an atmosphere which resembles that of a welcoming dinner party - and often in a room that adds splendour to the occasion! Sometimes you will be with other guests, sometimes with your hosts....and while not all Wolsey Lodges provide an evening dinner, your hosts will be happy to recommend the best local places to eat, and make a reservation for you. Wolsey Lodges incorporate grand country houses, as well as fine Elizabethan manor houses, exquisite Georgian mansions, and countryside Victorian rectories, some extremely beautiful restored cottages, and elegant town houses of one kind or another. All boast individual features: a special history, an excellent location, beautiful surroundings or superb food. Most importantly, all Wolsey Lodge proprietors are in the business because they want to invite you into their own homes, of which they are very proud. And they all most certainly wish to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. For bookings, brochure, or for other enquiries please contact: Wolsey Lodges Ltd., 9 Market Place,

apartments are an inspiring, luxurious collection of one and two
bedroom serviced apartments
located in the best part of central London. The contemporary
apartments provide everything an independent traveller could wish for:
right in the heart of London's
West End, situated very
close to Bond Street,
Marble Arch and
Oxford Street, these
apartments provide an independent living space for both business and
pleasure. You're in the middle of the prime shopping area with specialist
boutiques, an area which also includes the consulates of many countries,
and so many historic monuments and attractions that you'll never be short
of something new and exciting to do. Mayfair and
Marylebone are
remarkable for their beautiful period architecture. In fact, the very
building where the apartments are located was designed by philanthropic
architect Octavia Hill in Victorian times, which means you can enjoy the stunning gothic
architecture that's her legacy, including the impressive arched doorways
at the entrance. Click on the images for a larger picture.
Flemings Hotel, Mayfair, LondonFlemings, renowned for its 5 star service, is ideally located in central London.
