I’ve only got a little time in London in October 2026—I’ve booked a few spots. Please let me know if I made any mistakes, if you don’t mind :)

Exploring London: A Quick Trip Through Charming Accommodations

If you’re planning a brief visit to London, you might be interested in my upcoming itinerary. I’ll be in the city on October 26th to catch a show at the iconic O2 Arena, and I’ve lined up some unique places to stay during my trip.

For the night of the show, I’ve opted for a cozy room above the Pilot, which promises a relaxed atmosphere right above a pub. I believe it will be the perfect spot to unwind after an exciting evening.

Additionally, I’ve made reservations at a few other charming locations around the city. I’ll be staying at the Princess Royal in Notting Hill, known for its vibrant neighborhood, the Orange in Belgravia, which boasts an upscale feel, and the Grazing Goat in Marylebone, where a comforting ambiance awaits.

Since I usually sleep soundly even in bustling areas, I thought these smaller accommodations above pubs would enhance my experience, providing a local vibe that a larger hotel might not offer.

If anyone has advice on my choices or can suggest any alternatives, I would greatly appreciate your insights. Thank you for taking the time to read about my journey!

  1. Great itinerary planning for a brief London visit!

    It looks like you’ve chosen some fantastic spots that give a nice mix of local charm and upscale comfort. Staying above the Pilot in Islington is a smart choice if you’re looking for a lively yet relaxed atmosphere—just be aware that accommodations above pubs can sometimes be noisier, so bringing earplugs might be worthwhile.

    Notting Hill, Belgravia, and Marylebone each offer distinct London experiences:

    • Notting Hill: Vibrant, colorful, and culturally rich—perfect for wandering the markets and exploring quaint cafés.
    • Belgravia: An elegant, quieter area with gorgeous Georgian architecture—ideal for a relaxed, upscale vibe.
    • Marylebone: A charming neighborhood with boutique shops, museums, and excellent dining options.

    Since you’re catching a show at the O2 Arena, consider the Transport for London (TfL) options—perhaps a Jubilee Line or DLR journey to minimize travel time and enjoy the city’s efficient transit network.

    Additionally, if you have some free time, I recommend visiting:

    • The South Bank: For scenic river views, street performers, and cultural venues like the Southbank Centre.
