Book direct. Stay independent.

The capital, and genuinely one of the most independent-hospitality-rich places in the country: everything from converted townhouses to independent hotels tucked behind the big-name chains. It's also one of the most walkable big cities anywhere: whole neighbourhoods with their own distinct character sit a short Tube ride apart, so where you stay shapes the trip as much as what you see. A city break here rewards picking a base and exploring outward on foot, rather than trying to cover everywhere at once.
