| What neighborhood would you recommend for someone who wants to walk, shop, people watch and eat some good food? |
|
Why only one night?
Are you flying into Heathrow? and flying out? That's a big PITA. |
| How much do you want to spend? |
Stopover on a work trip. Will have about 30 hours all told. Budget around $325/night. |
| Kensington or Mayfair. Depends on what you want to shop for and how much you want to spend on good food. |
| Bloomsbury |
I agree with this. Somewhere near Hyde Park too. The Mayfair. I also like the Goring mentioned above, but that is in Belgravia. |
| Personally I stay in Paddington, which is a terrible area (touristy and ugly), but very convenient for the heathrow express. I just need somewhere to dump my bag, I don't spend any time there. |
| Look near the Gloucester Road tube station in South Kensington. It's a straight shot from Heathrow on the tube and you can walk all around Kensington and to the area near Harrods. We stayed at the Crowne Plaza. |
