London hotels
My wife and I will be in London September 1 through the fifth. We are looking for recommendations for hotels that will be walking distance to the underground and accessible from Heathrow terminal five. It can also be bed-and-breakfast as long as either the hotel or the BMB are reasonable in cost . We have a LondonPass with transit and expect to do sightseeing. On the fifth we will need to go to Heathrow to pick up transit to a crew ship in South Hampton. Any help will be appreciated. You can PM me or post here. We would also be delighted to meet with any local TRF members for a meet up.

I will leave the hotel recommendations to the Londoners although I have my favourites. If you are flying to Southampton you may wish to go by train. Waterloo to Southampton is 80 min by train and it saves the 1 hour to Heathrow, the 2 hour checkin, the flight then the drive into Southampton. I can also give you the name of an excellent AD if you want to have a look in Southampton. Regards

I'd aim just outside centre to the west. South Kensington is good area with lots of B&B's without the ridiculous prices of W1.

We've been staying at The Stafford on St. Jameses just off Picadilly for about 20 years now. The location is great, it's a block from a major tube station (Green Park) and within walking distance to all the West End theatres.

x2. love the Stafford and location. if you want more of a local British experience I recommend it. The American Bar within the Hotel is fun as well.
