Arrive LCA depart Heathrow, accom & transport?
We will be arriving into London City Airport for a quick 3 night, 2 day visit. Want to stay Central, easy access, premier inns look great but which one? Any other similar priced accommodation suggestions would be great! Thx
|
Budget? Number of people?
Easy access to what? Anywhere inside the Circle line is "central". If you will take the tube to LHR you want to be near a Piccadilly line station. |
LCA is the code for Larnaca in Cyprus. LCY is the code for London City airport, hopefully that's the code used for your flight booking.
|
2 people, oops yes LCY, central to usual tourist spots (my husbands first visit to London). Not big museum people but probably would like to visit Tower of London- is that where the Crown Jewels are? Starting with hotel- then I'll figure out the rest.
|
Budget - 120-150 ish but the cheaper the better as long as it's clean and the atmosphere is nice. Hostels are fine
|
Sounds like you need to do some research on London first.
Yes, the Crown Jewels are in the Tower. There are MANY "usual tourist spots", a number of which are museums. You only have two days, you are not going to see a lot. Pick two days worth of site seeing, and then see if they indicate an area. If not, I stay in Bloomsbury when I'm going to arrive or depart from LHR, because I take the tube. Budget?? |
If you stay near Tower Hill you will be very convenient to LCY and practically next door to the Tower but a long tube ride from LHR. Otherwise just anywhere within the Circle tube line (look at a tub map on the TFL website).
The very most central/easiest access to LHR would be Covent Garden/Holborn/Leicester Sq. But anywhere along the Piccadilly line (dark blue) between Gloucester Rd and Russell Square will be central/convenient. Or places along the Central/District lines between (yellow/green) Tower Hill and Gloucester Rd. http://content.tfl.gov.uk/standard-tube-map.pdf |
re thursdaysd's post - Bloomsbury would be in the area of the Holborn/Russell Sq tube stations..
|
OH -- and '120-150 ish' what? US$, €, £, Can$, AUS$ . . . what?
|
Missed the budget post - and janisj's question is relevant!
I usually sleep here: http://www.ridgemounthotel.co.uk/ But when the LSE student dorms are available I sleep here: http://www.lsevacations.co.uk/Accomm...nor-House.aspx The LSE Holborn location is cheaper but I like the en-suite and kitchen at Grosvenor House. |
Thank you Janissj! Exactly the info I was looking for. I realize I need to research- we know it's quick and don't need to see everything. I've been there a few times. My favorite thing to do is walk through the parks! I'll do more research but now at least I have a place to start! Thx

OOPS -- major typo . . . Should say >><B>Circle</B>/District lines (yellow/green) between Tower Hill and Gloucester Rd.<<
|
But you haven;t answered the budget question - what currency is it?
If Aus or Can $ that is VERY low |
