Exploring London: A Short Stay Above the Pubs
As I prepare for a brief trip to London later this month, I’m reaching out to the community for some friendly advice on my accommodations. My itinerary kicks off on October 26, when I’ll be attending a show at the O2 Arena.
To enhance the experience, I decided to book a few unique stays that offer a cozy, local vibe. For my night in the city, I’ve secured a room above The Pilot, renowned for its vibrant atmosphere and proximity to the O2. It should be a convenient spot to unwind after the concert.
Additionally, I have reserved rooms in several charming locations: above The Princess Royal in Notting Hill, The Orange in Belgravia, and The Grazing Goat in Marylebone. Each of these pubs is known not only for quality accommodations but also for their fantastic dining options.
I’m someone who manages to sleep well, even in bustling environments, and I felt that staying above a pub during this short trip would add to the authenticity of my London experience. However, I’m open to feedback—if anyone thinks I’ve made a misstep in my choices, I would greatly appreciate your insights.
Thank you for taking the time to read this! Any suggestions or tips you have would be wonderful.
