Planning a city break? 4 ways to pack more in to your short stay with us

Staying in London is always a rewarding experience, even if you’re only in town for a short time. We’ve compiled this short guide to help you get more from your next stay here in the city…

• Plan your itinerary

Knowing where you want to go and what you want to see before you arrive is a great way to ensure you pack as much as possible into even the shortest of stays. Consider your itinerary from a practical perspective, ensuring your selection of locations is within reasonable distance of Paddington hotel London to prevent extended time travelling – which could be better spent enjoying the city!

Write everything down for a sure way to help you remember where you’re going on each day, but allow some flexibility if something else you’d like to try strikes you during your stay.

• Try a London tour

There are so many different tours available in the city, offering everything from new ways to discover the history of England’s capital, to the opportunity to sample some of the tastiest treats from the best eateries London has to offer.

While taking advantage of our London hotels special offers, there’s no better way to cram plenty of new experiences into a short period of time! Your options include boat tours, which will take you on a trip of the River Thames past some of the major city landmarks, and walking tours – including those focused on everything from street art through to London’s royal past.
