Hi JO

I saw your posting on the internet and thought that I would give You my
oppinion as a visitor to London as well. I am from Denmark and have been
traveling to London nine times.

The best hotel I have ever had over there is Mornington, just north of Hyde
Park. Swedish run hotel and it shows. Clean, neat and great breakfast!

I have just been to London 3 weeks ago and stayed at the St. Giles right in
the centre of London, where Oxford Street meets Tottenham Court Road. OK
hotel and excellent placed near tubestation and in walkingdistance of say
Piccadilly Circus. http://www.stgiles.com/londonhotel/index_london.html

As for transport from Stanstead Airport I always use the Stanstead Express.
The station is right underneath the airport, only one stop directly to
Liverpool Street station, and if You are staying at one of the above hotels,
just take the Central Line on the tube. Easy! Of course if You have a lot of
bags, then catch a taxi.

I enslose a link to an american internetsite which reviews hotels. I found
it very helpfull as I was looking for hotels up to my last trip.

Have fun in London!

I've got 4 of us here making a trip to London

1) What's a good central area to stay in? We've identified some motels in
Paddington, Kings Cross, or Victoria. Would someone care to comment on
these locations?

2) We'll be travelling around London for about 4.5 days - what's the
cheapest way to travel. Oyster 7-day pass looks ok. Or, buy indivdual
day
passes? Has anyone used the Travel Pass? Any comments?

3) When we get to Stansted, what would be the best way to London. Coach,
Rail, or... ?

TIA
