Staying here this weekend. Took metro from LHR. A little over an hour and an easy walk to the hotel. We come to London most years and stay at the Waldorf. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to the Waldorf. I really don’t understand how anyone can say the neighborhood is ‘dodgy’. We spent hours walking around and if anything, it’s trendy. There is a Gordon Ramsey restaurant about a block away, great neighborhood restaurants and a darling local pub called the White Hart at the end of the block. Great fish and chip at Olleys a few blocks away. It’s a 15 minute walk to St. Paul’s or Trafalger’s and Gordon’s wine bar. The room at the hotel is nice, staff lovely, good breakfast and ok happy hour. I actually hate the free candy by the front desk because they have my favorite licorice and I can’t stop eating it. Free shortbread cookies daily. My husband says I am pretty high maintenance, and I really like this hotel.
