I'd recommend you re-post this with the word "London" in the title of the thread.

There are many thousands of hotels in London - from fleabags to deluxe palaces.

What if your budget?

Really no need to re-post. Having London in your title would have been nice, but the UK tag is good enough.

But what isn't good enough is the rest of your post.

4 what -- adults? parents and 2 toddlers? 2 adults a toddler and an 18 yo? What? This makes a big difference (for instance some budget hotels like Premier Inn will allow 2 adults and 2 young children to share, but not 2 adults and 16 and 17 yo's)

Also what is your budget?

How long will you be in London?

Anything helps . . . .

You still haven;t provided a budget - and in what currency.

3* has different meaning in different places - and we're not sure what you mean (3* UK would be more like 2* US).

While we are waiting for more info.......
London (and most European hotels) have small rooms and usually either 2 twin beds or a double bed (yes, the old fashioned double). Some of the American chain hotels MAY have 2 doubles. Some advertise king beds but if you ask them for measurements, you find that a European king is more like an American queen and that is about as much bed as the room has space for. I have seldom had a European room that could handle 4 adult size people. (I really can't ever remember one, but felt I should hedge a bit in case someone else has.) You may well find yourselves needing 2 rooms. You might also consider an apartment through someone like VRBO.com.

"<i>in the center a 3 star hotel is ok...</i>"

Not being stubborn here -- we really do need to know your budget. 3 star does not say anything about room rates. How much do you want to pay per night?

There are thousands (no exaggeration) of places to stay in central London

"<i>cambridge or oxford to visit? just have time to one

must do? typical food.?

could someone prepare my visit schedule in London?</i>"

We really can't plan your trip for you because we aren't you and may not have the same interests. We can <i>help</i> you refine your own plan/itinerary -- but you have to start w/ at least some basic ideas.

Start by clicking on DESTINATIONS at the top of this page and read what Fodors suggests for a short visit. Then do a search on the forum-- there are just TONS of threads about London. That will get you started.

Then talk it over w/ your family- what do they want to see/do. Then we can help you priortize things.
