Exploring London: Short Stay Itinerary with Unique Accommodations

As part of an exciting trip to London this October, I have carefully planned my itinerary for a brief stay, specifically on October 26th, and I’m reaching out for your insight on my choices. I’ll be attending a show at the O2 Arena and have opted to stay at a variety of unique accommodations during my visit.

For the night of the show, I’ll be lodging at a place right above a pub, which I think will add a local touch to my stay. In addition, I’ve secured reservations at several charming spots: one above the Princess Royal in Notting Hill, another at The Orange in Belgravia, and a delightful stay at The Grazing Goat in Marylebone.

I am quite a sound sleeper, so I’m not too concerned about potential noise, and I believe that staying in these smaller, intimate settings will enhance my London experience.

That said, I’m eager to hear your thoughts. Have I made any unwise choices with these accommodations? I greatly appreciate any advice or recommendations you may have for making the most of my time in this vibrant city. Thank you for your attention!

  1. Helpful Tips for Your London Stay in October 2026

    It sounds like you’ve planned a truly immersive and authentic experience of London, which is fantastic! Staying in boutique accommodations like those above pubs and in charming neighborhoods really captures the city’s essence.

    However, here are a few suggestions to enhance your trip:

    • Transport Options: Consider purchasing an Oyster or contactless travel card for easy access to the Tube, buses, and trains. London’s public transport is extensive and efficient, making it simple to explore the city without the stress of parking.
    • Local Pubs and Dining: Since you’ll be staying above a pub, definitely take some time to enjoy the local atmosphere. Additionally, exploring other hidden gems in your neighborhoods (Notting Hill, Belgravia, Marylebone) can lead to some delightful culinary discoveries—don’t miss the chance to try local specialties or afternoon teas.
    • Event Planning: If you haven’t already, booking tickets to popular attractions or shows in advance can save time and avoid disappointment, especially during busy months like October.
    • Weather Preparedness: October can be quite variable weather-wise. Packing a compact umbrella and layers will ensure you stay comfortable whether it’s crisp and sunny or damp and chilly.
