Hotel choice

There is an enormous choice of accommodation for visitors to London ranging from five star hotels to self-catering - in fact, something to suit every taste and pocket.

Generally speaking, all accommodation is more expensive in Central London so if price is important to you, stay outside of this area. As long as the place you stay has a good rail or underground service you should be no more than 20 to 30 minutes from Central London. We will also be able to drive you to all your golf destinations from wherever you choose.

So the choice may come down to whether you'd prefer to be in the centre of all the action, and nearby to all the theatres, museums and nightlife - or if you'd prefer to enjoy a slightly more relaxed pace of life, and stay just outside in one of the trendy London villages such as Wimbledon, Richmond or Ascot.

Staying in London

London is a city renowned for its famous districts, landmarks and hotels. London grew out of two cities, the original City of London and the City of Westminster. One of the city's major attractions is its vast areas of open parkland, commons and woodland. London has some of the world's most famous districts and landmarks, such as the Houses of Parliament, the Tower of London, the British Airways London Eye, and Buckingham Palace. Within central London are the districts of Westminster and the West End; Westminster famous for being the centre of British government and the West End famous for its numerous theatres and renowned shopping districts. Other districts in London include Mayfair, Kensington and Chelsea, Soho and Knightsbridge, all of which have their own distinct characteristics, such as the grand architecture of Mayfair and the lively, colourful streets of Soho. London has a selection of the world's finest restaurants and hotels scattered throughout its many districts.

Staying just outside London:

Richmond upon Thames
Encompassing not only the historic royal palace of Hampton Court, but with Ham House, Richmond Park and Kew Gardens all falling within its boundaries, Richmond upon Thames is a historic area of London which also offers visitors more green space than any other borough and over 20 miles of riverside. Over the centuries Richmond has, of course, enjoyed the benefits of royal patronage. And, though it has become part of an extremely busy commuter belt, the town retains an upmarket village feel, thus ensuring plenty of tourists over the summer. The riverside bars & cafes, the village green with its popular theatre, the lanes bordering the town centre with their antique shops, the terrace garden overlooking the Thames Valley and the Royal park are always a delight all year round

Inevitably they end up scoffing far too many strawberries, buying souvenir T-shirts and, of course, enjoying the delights of Wimbledon town centre! In Wimbledon Village (situated just a short walk up Wimbledon Hill from the town centre), you'll find a good selection of speciality food stores, upmarket eateries and trendy boutiques. In addition, the Village benefits from a number of decent pubs. Also just a short walk away is the beautiful Cannizaro Park, which now houses a luxury Thistle Hotel within Cannizaro House.
