Just a Little Time in London on October 26 – I’ve Made Some Bookings, Let Me Know If I Messed Up :)

Exploring London: A Mini-Itinerary with Cozy Stays

As I prepare for a brief yet exciting trip to London on October 26th, I couldn’t resist sharing my plans and seeking some feedback from you fellow travelers. I’ll be catching a show at the O2 Arena, and I’ve meticulously chosen a few charming accommodations to enhance my experience.

To kick off my evening, I’ve decided to book a stay above The Pilot, conveniently located near the O2. This spot seems ideal for enjoying the vibrant atmosphere after the show.

In addition, I’ve secured reservations at a couple of other quaint establishments: The Princess Royal in Notting Hill, The Orange in Belgravia, and The Grazing Goat in Marylebone. Each of these locations offers a unique charm and is situated in trendy neighborhoods that I can’t wait to explore.

As someone who can sleep through almost anything, I figured that opting for smaller, pub-adjacent stays would give me a taste of local life while keeping my trip cozy and intimate.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on my choices! Have I erred in my selections, or do you believe I’m on the right track? Any recommendations or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to share your advice!
