We just got home. We stayed at London for 4 days. Hotel Strand Palace was great, we really liked it. Very good lcoation, everything was within walking distance. There is also a bus stop in front of the door (3.5 pounds p.p.p per day). The breakfast and the service were good. The room was a bit small, but good enough for a city trip, the beds were very good! Don't use the tourist bus (24 pounds p.p.), but take the normal bus, you can use those to go everywhere (day-ticket 3.5 pounds p.p.).
