Weekend Break in London


Table of contents

The Mandrake 5*

Friday evening – watch the city transform

Weekend in London

To get a flavour of weekends in London, head to the vibrant South Bank on Friday evening. Catch a train to the mainline station London Bridge and then head west, following the Thames’ meandering path. It’s a beautiful stroll along the river, with many pubs, bars and restaurants where you can join in the atmosphere of the city by unwinding and relaxing. The walk will take you past the reconstruction of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, faithfully rebuilt in the Elizabethan style, and onto the South Bank, home of the National Theatre and Festival Hall. This iconic block concrete building is an excellent example of modern architecture, and you can enjoy the street theatre as you stroll along. Choose from one of the handpicked hotel offers we have selected for you, and have a comfortable night’s sleep.

Saturday daytime – see the sights

You can see the sights very easily during a short weekend break. There are numerous open top bus rides that will take you on a tour of the British capital’s must-sees: Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, and the London Eye, to name just a few. They are generally hop on, hop off arrangements, so you can use them to get between attractions and simply stop when you want to see something in more detail. There are also regular ferry trips along the Thames, as well as amphibious tours, and you can go by boat from Westminster, past the Tower of London and on into Greenwich.

Saturday night – take in a show

London weekend breaks should be filled with culture, and London’s West End theatre district is world-class, with something for everyone, so make the most of it. You can see The Mousetrap, the world’s longest running show, or choose one of the big musicals. There is also plenty of classical plays, if that is what you would prefer.

Sunday daytime – stroll in the parks

Weekend in London

London breaks can be relaxing as well as busy, so take some time to unwind. London is a very green city, thanks to the number of parks – or royal parks, to give them their official status - and you can stroll for miles enjoying the scenery at your own pace. Hyde Park is possibly the best known, with its beautiful winding Serpentine lake and art gallery, but there are plenty of spots to enjoy in Green Park and St James’s Park too.

We've stopped at this hotel before but not for sometime,we had a standard room and if all the standard rooms are like the one we had they are quite spacious and more than adequate for the two nights we stayed. The hotel is traditional with good service and a great breakfast,we will certainly stay there again when we come to London.

The hotel's location right across from a park and two from the British Museum and bus stops. Breakfast excellent. Not in the center of London but close to a metro station very easy and fast to reach hotspots.

Brilliant location for Albert Hall, Hyde Park & museums. South Ken tube is about 10 minutes' walk. Hotel has a unique sense of eccentric Victorian opulence. Best buffet continental breakfast ever - all the usual pastries, meat, fruit etc. to a very high standard, plus a choice of fresh breads, excellent smoked salmon & bizarrely lemon meringue pie! Very friendly & helpful staff, even bailed us out on candles for a birthday cake. Exceptional cocktails too which were good value by London standards.

We thought this hotel was in a very good position if you don't mind walking, or travelling by bus or tube into London. Easy walking to St Paul's cathedral, London Bridge and Tower Bridge and not too far to walk to Borough Market. The bus stop outside very useful with frequent buses. The hotel service is very good, friendly courteous staff. The room was a reasonable size - shame about the view! Breakfast which was included was very enjoyable and cooked freshly and the breakfast choice of the day varied and enjoyable. We didn't have a chance to dine in the evening as the restaurant was closed on Saturday and Sunday which is understandable because is a business hotel. The flower arrangement in the lounge area is beautiful.
