Exploring London: My Short Stay Itinerary in October

As my upcoming trip to London approaches, I’ve made a few accommodations that I’d love to get some feedback on. I will be in the city on October 26th to catch a show at the O2 Arena, and I’ve chosen to stay in a selection of charming spots to enhance my experience.

For the night of the show, I’ve opted for a quirky stay above The Pilot, which seems like a cozy location. Additionally, I’ve reserved a night at The Princess Royal in Notting Hill, and I’ve also made arrangements at The Orange in Belgravia, along with The Grazing Goat in Marylebone.

Given my penchant for sleeping well regardless of nearby commotion, I figured that staying above a pub would add to the local vibe without taking away from my rest. However, I’m open to suggestions and would appreciate any advice. Have I made some good choices, or have I miscalculated along the way?

Thank you in advance for your insights! I’m eager to hear your thoughts and recommendations.

  1. Great itinerary plans! Here’s some feedback from a local’s perspective

    It looks like you’ve put together a fantastic mix of accommodations across different vibrant neighborhoods—all great choices for experiencing London’s diverse character!

    • The Pilot above the pub: Staying above a pub can offer an authentic, lively atmosphere, especially if you enjoy absorbing local culture. Just a tip—check the noise levels during late hours if you’re a light sleeper, but it sounds like a fun experience.
    • The Princess Royal in Notting Hill: Notting Hill is a charming area with beautiful streets and excellent cafes. Perfect for relaxing strolls and discovering local markets like Portobello Market.
    • The Orange in Belgravia: A posh neighborhood, great for experiencing upscale London, with close proximity to Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park.
    • The Grazing Goat in Marylebone: Offers a cozy vibe with good access to central London, perfect for exploring cultural sites and shopping.

    Given your focus on sleeping well, staying above a pub can be a bit hit or miss depending on the pub’s size and noise regulations, but many London pubs are quite considerate of guests’ sleep. If you prefer quieter nights, perhaps request a room at the back or check recent reviews.
