I could really use your help guys I need to book and pay for some accomodation within the next few weeks and would love to know what the area is like and which one you would choose for location etc... | |

Me personally..I would choose either of the ones near to Gloucester Road and South Kensington, simply because these will give you a bigger variety of tube lines close by (Circle, District and Piccadilly) whereas Bayswater and Queensway are only on the central line. The tube is the nuts for getting round London
But you would still find it real easy to get around from any of those places. Being nearer to Hyde Park and Oxford St. might be good thou I don't know if that helps I am a South London lad and do most of my travelling through Victoria, and once you are on the underground, you can just pop up wherever you like All the places look good http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/ http://www.urban75.org/ph...orama.html [Edited 2/3/05 16:38pm] Mada, Yeah thats me. AND WHAT | |
