Guys thanks in advance I have a situation that I need soome advice on and I am also new so excuse my ignorance
I am travelling from zurich to london (LHR)along my family due to last minute change in plans my mom could not get the same flight with us so she has to catch the flight from zurich to LCY and we are only 1 1/2 days in london and then we all have to catch the flight from LHR to JFK new york. So here my delimma how can I make this trip hassle free. Where can I stay in hotel (some advice on decent cheap hotel appreciated)perhaps some where in the middle of LHR and LCY where we might catch some city beauty and also have my mom meet us without much trouble mind you that she is old but can do some travelling on her own.Here is our flight detail

my mom arrival on LCY 10:30am on 6th feb (friday)
we all have to catch the same flight from LHR on SAturday 1:20pm
appreciate your suggestions

moderator do you think this topic is more appropriate in travel forum under London if so please move it there thanks

The Thistle hotel at Kings Cross would be OK in price and location for you both as I stayed there after flying into LCY and departed from LHR. I took a taxi from LCY and the tube is right next door to the hotel and it went direct to LHR

Those two airports are a long way from the city, and each other. Although I have been to the approximate midpoint of the two(for great Indian food), getting there from central London is a long trip. So, I would also advise to stay in the Bloomsbury/Kings Cross area, also. I prefer Bloomsbury as I can spend days enjoying walking around and do not have to use public transportation.

Consider using a car(hired) for the trips to/from LHR. The cost is around £35-45.

Hotels in London are quite high for what you get. For cheap, also look at http://216.65.16.70/cgi-bin/bookings/promolist.cgi It is the St. Giles hotel over The tottenheim court tube.

I have no idea how to get to/from LCY, but if you search this site, I know the question has been addressed.

Also look in London in the travel forum.

Getting from LCY to London - the easiest 'cheap' way to do this is to take the shuttle bus from outside the airport. This stops at Canary Wharf (Jubilee Tube Line) and Liverpool Street Station (Central/Circle tube lines).
