Navigating London: My October Itinerary and Accommodation Choices
As I prepare for a quick visit to London on October 26, I can’t help but share my travel plans and seek your insights. I’m thrilled about attending a show at the O2, which will be the highlight of my trip.
For my accommodation, I’ve chosen a few intriguing spots. I’ll be staying above The Pilot on the night of the show, which seems like a charming choice. Additionally, I’ve booked stays above The Princess Royal in Notting Hill, The Orange in Belgravia, and The Grazing Goat in Marylebone for the duration of my visit.
I tend to sleep soundly, regardless of the surrounding noise, and I figured that for a brief trip, opting for smaller lodgings above pubs would provide a unique and authentic experience in the heart of the city.
I would love to hear your thoughts on my selections. Did I make any questionable choices? Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to help me optimize my London adventure!
London Resident’s Insights for Your October Visit
It’s always exciting to see visitors exploring London with such enthusiasm! Your choice to stay in diverse neighborhoods like Notting Hill, Belgravia, and Marylebone will give you a wonderful taste of the city’s different vibes.
Regarding your accommodations above pubs, it’s a charming way to experience authentic British hospitality. Just a quick tip: some pub-based lodgings can get lively late into the night, especially in areas like Notting Hill and Belgravia, so if you’re a light sleeper, consider bringing earplugs or requesting rooms further from the pubs’ main areas.
Since you’re attending a show at the O2, it might be worth planning your transportation in advance. The Jubilee Line from North Greenwich station is efficient, but be prepared for potential crowds after events. Also, exploring alternative routes like river taxis or nearby buses could provide a more relaxed experience.
