Hi, I am studying in London later this month. However, i am arriving a day before my program begins, so i need a place to stay for a night. I will be arriving directly from the U.S., so i plan on being quite tired and in need of a relaxing day/night. Can anyone recommend a hostel/cheap hotel in London?
Regina House - Gloucester Road
do a websearch - i don't have any contact details - it'll cost you about $35 for the night including breakfast and dinner if you're still around - it's a safe friendly place - i know.
Its on the district line (Green) when you come into London, Westbound if you come in from Victoria(Gatwick), or Eastbound if you come from Heathrow.
Hi! I am in a similar situation to you. I do not want to stay in a youth hostel (I'm 18) that has thousands of rooms and its own underground nightclub because I love my sleep!
I've since found a great place called Lee Abbey - usually it's a residence for overseas students landing in London to commence tertiary studies at colleges- but in the summer it's for all visitors to London. For around 20 pounds you get a private room and 2 buffet meals a day! (brekky and dinner)...and its got gardens and a cafe etc...t's also in Kensignton which is a pleasant short bus or tube ride from the more noisy central hostel locations.
Anyways, hope this helps: the website is www.leeabbeylondon.com
go on a trip down the Thames by boat during sunset. Everything looked so different from the water, it was really cool. What I miss the most when I'm not in London are the people that I met there. My group stayed at a place affiliated with the London City Mission, which was located in the Docklands. I miss just hanging out with them.
Cachaseiro aka Claus organised a really nice get together at The moon under water pub in Leicester square. It was a nice turn out and lots of fun meeting everyone.
Vter's names to add shortly :)
They, all 7, have names:
Hardey, Thor, Odin, Gwyllum, Cedric, Hugine and Munin...
The wings of the birds are now clipped to prevent them from flying away. The King then ordered the destruction of the birds, only to be told that without them the Tower would fall and the kingdom with it.
To prevent such a catastrophe, a limited number was, therefore, allowed to remain.
The 36 Yeomen Warders of the Tower of London are ceremonial guards whose duty is to look after any prisoners in the cells and to make sure that the Crown Jewels are safely locked away. However, in practise, since there have not been any prisoners here since the 1950s, they mostly act as tour guides and are themselves a tourist attraction. It is not known for certain how they came to be referred to as 'Beefeaters', but it is believed to have been either a derivation of the French term 'buffetier' for the 'king's guard' or from the fact that the Grand Duke of Tuscany observed in 1669 that they received a very large portion of beef as part of their daily rations!
All members of the Yeoman Warders must be ex-soldiers of the British military with at least 22 years of honourable service to the Crown.
Take a free leaflet about the public transport system in London. It includes the tube and train lines and the key bus routes in central London. Apart from that the location of the stations in the 6 travelcard zones is shown in the leaflet. It is available from the Tourist information offices, major tube stations and various hotels.
