STYLE AND SUBSTANCE
The Cavendish London Hotel is located in the heart of St James’s near Piccadilly. This four-star hotel is in a great position to explore everything central London has to offer, with the world famous Fortnum & Mason right on its doorstep.
SLEEPING MATTERS
The hotel has 230 rooms, including some with stunning views of the city’s skyline. All rooms are fully equipped with modern amenities including HD TV, complimentary WiFi, Nespresso coffee machine, en-suite facilities and eco-friendly bathroom products.We stayed in a superior double room, which had the added benefit of a great view of the London Eye.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The Petrichor Restaurant & Bar offers something for everyone, from lunches and dinners to pre-theatre suppers and its renowned Duke & Duchess afternoon teas, at only £29 per person. On our first night we dined in the restaurant, I would recommend the duck breast and the ribeye steak. The express menu is great if you are in a hurry, from £19 for two courses and £24 for three courses.
WHAT TO DO
London has it all. The hotel is in a great position, ideal for first time visitors with Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square and Regent Street all on your doorstep. The underground is not as daunting as you think, once you master the lines it is the best way to get around the city. You can't visit London without a trip to the theatre. We went to see Wicked in the Apollo Theatre, the best show I have seen by far, but there is an abundance of shows to see. If you go to the theatre on the day you can get a good deal on tickets, plus there are ticket booths in Piccadilly Circus you can buy reduced-price tickets.
NICE TOUCH
The rooms offer a turn down service, and feature a sleep kit with eye mask, ear plugs and a lavender sleep spray for your pillows.
A double room at The Cavendish London Hotel costs from £183 per room, look out for special offers. www.thecavendish-london.co.uk
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
