King's Cross and St. Pancras



Over from King's Cross station you find St. Pancras station which in its own way is a little part of London's history. It is now well known as the terminal for the impressive Eurostar service which has opened up a convenient and swift gateway to the continent. Travel time to Paris is only 2 hours and 15 minutes with Eurostar and offers passengers a stylish, relaxing and pleasant way to travel to the French capital.

King's Cross St. Pancras tube station serves both St. Pancras and King's Cross station, and is a major hub for Underground and mainline connections. With the large passenger numbers that converge on this transport network, quite a number of people plan overnight stays in the vicinity of the stations. Understandably, where travellers from out of London need to connect with the Eurostar or another mainline destination, it is a convenient choice to book into one of the excellent hotels near King's Cross station. It is obviously the sensible option when you don't want to exhaust yourself outright with the demands of long travel.

Whether your stay here is planned or brought about by disruption to services - it can sometimes happen - you may find yourself with time to spare to allow you to explore the immediate area. If that should arise, don't worry - there are plenty of diversions to fend of boredom. A quick walk around, and you will easily discover many inviting restaurants and pubs close by. It is always good to know that at least you won't go short of fine food and drink should that take your fancy.

Also nearby is the British Library where you can stroll in and view a copy of Magna Carta from among a colossal choice of 14 million items stored on 400 miles of shelves. You could be some time, I guess. But don't led the oddly austere facade put you off. This excellent institution is pleasantly inviting on the inside, and as the repository of the national archive it is packed floor to ceiling with a myriad of written treasures that go to the deep heart of this nation. Its feature exhibitions and galleries are certain to impress, and even if you have landed here by accident rather than design you will be no less pleased.

Away now from King's Cross and St. Pancras to this post's special promotion -

Time for thoughtful moments - Valentine's Day in London

Let's not forget that Valentine's Day is coming up. Does anyone know anymore whether it is Cupid or commercialism that drives us into an annual spree of exchanging gifts, flowers, chocolates and cards. Well, let's pretend it is that mysterious romantic side to us that somehow puts us under the influence ... and of course that has also become another feature, especially with the younger set.

I will do what I always do ... put the commercial end of it out of my mind and with a little old fashioned sentiment spend some thougthful moments getting a small gift for the one I love. If anything, Valentine's Day is just a little prompt to me on this one day every year to give a few moments of affectionate consideration to the special person in my life. It is simple in a sense, but it is the one bit of sense I can see in it. If someone else is making money on the back of my feelings, then so bit it. In the end, I am grateful that they reminded me to remember.

For all hopeless romantics who might like look at last minute hotel offers in London, check out the current deals below. In my view, a weekend break in the capital would be just as good a present for Valentine's Day as an expensive perfume or pricey jewellery. I know that people associate Paris or Rome with romance, but London has it's own very special atmosphere, and if we were to go into it, no slouch either when it comes to some great romantic stories.

Covent Garden - a throbbing hub of humanity

Covent Garden is one of the most exciting areas of London and a throbbing hub of humanity. It is a veritable magnet for tourists, but with equal polarity it sadly repels many Londoners who just can't stand the crowds.

It has a colourful history with many historical associations, and at one point reached such a level of decay that what is now a gem in London's crown could easily have been lost to the city. But good sense prevailed and with sterling effort Covent Garden was revitalized and remodeled as a showcase of unbridled urban vivacity - and all in the best possible taste.

So now it's a panoramic-take on whatever appeals to you most with a choice between street entertainers, great shopping, lively pubs and restaurants, or culture and the arts ....and possibly more if you go looking for it.  The choice, as they say, is wide and wonderful.

You could also be looking for a good hotel. Well, how about an excellent hotel instead? That is, after all, why we at London's Best Hotels are here in the first place. And from among our cheap London hotels deals we have some fantastic offers for quality hotels near Covent Garden.

So you can straight away be in among the clowns, jugglers, musicians and acrobats in the drop of a hat or the juggle of a ball. Here is our current offer -

London Transport - flexible, convenient and reasonably cheap

London Bus  .... the perfect way to journey through the city.




Good old London Bus. Too often it is overlooked and underestimated. But as I've often advised visitors to London, it can be sheer joy just travelling around on a front row seat on the upper deck of a London bus. It can provide a dynamic, changing vista that makes travelling through the city great fun ... and especially for children.

Cabs in London are pricey, but the rest of the transport system is good value and child-friendly. Being sensible and wise, don't buy single tickets for your journeys. Instead, chose the economical option and buy an Oyster card from the start of your visit. It's way cheaper, more convenient and flexible, allowing you to switch between bus, Tube, tram, DLR, London Overground and more. In addition, discounts and free travel are provided for children. You can find out more to help you choose your travel options at the Transport for London website.

Travelling in the city centre will see you pass some of the central London hotels we are proud to feature here on our website. Even seen from the bus, they are very inviting and, of course, brilliantly situated. As usual, with every post there is a deal. This one is for hotels near Tower Bridge - an absolutely ideal choice of location.

Knightsbridge hotel promotion for 2012

The weather is cooler, the skies are grey, and for many of us it is just a bit difficult to get right back into the swing of things at the start of another year. But that is no excuse. No excuse, that is, not to come to London at anytime, any season. It is just such a wonderful city that it will never fail to disappoint regardless of when you come to visit.

So let's say, at least, that we will expect to see you sometime soon - and the sooner the better. In anticipation, one of our current London hotel deals ......
