I did want to comment about breakfast here. I've just done the breakfast buffet (20 pounds if you had to pay) which meets my needs, alternating between hot food one day and cereal (muesli) the next, along with a pot of tea. The hot food has been the same every day.
scrambled eggs
sausage
bacon
mushrooms
stewed tomatoes
There is a good selection of cereals, fruit toppings, cheeses, cold cuts, cold salmon, jars of yogurt, as well as different types of bread and pastries, and a selection of juices, to round it out. They did have baguettes you could slice yourself, but those were not out this morning (or might have been gone already). They also have 3 bowls of jam/marmalade (I had raspberry), as well as small jars of orange marmalade, and a small tray with butter is at your table.
When I exited after 10 this morning there were several guests waiting seating in the hallway, but I had not seen this on the two prior days when I was down earlier.
Overall I've been pretty happy here. Skye1 and RedBeard911 stopped by on the way from the Olympic Grounds and thought the place was pretty nice, too. Today I walked through the financial district nearby and took a bunch of photos which I'll try to get up in the next day or two (in the separate 2010 London gallery). Kept on walking past St. Pauls, over the Millenium Bridge, and finally worked my way to Charing Cross where I came back to the hotel. Long day.
