London hotel

I am looking for a decent hotel for one night around Vauxhall bridge or Chelsea Bridge, preferably with parking or parking available nearby for overnight. I don't know that area at all well - any recommendations?

We have one at Tower Bridge if that is any good, with parking. We have one at Embankment that is a short walk across to Waterloo, doesnt have parking as such but there is a nearby NCP they use. We have one on Traf Sq (opposite the Trocadero) - again no parking but NCP nearby I think.... We have one at Marble Arch with an NCP next door.

I can get you a very good rate if you are interested!

Exceptionally good rates at the moment - probably less than £100 as I'll book Friends and Family for you good people!

The Horseguards looks really nice and is a lot closer to where we need to be the next morning. It's Monday 5th we'd need the room - double room for 2 adults.. Can you get me a price? Work are paying so i need to then double check it with our expense policy :-)

I thought that was how long you wanted a room for!

I thought that's very precise!

I've stayed at the Pestana Chelsea Bridge a few times. Location is perfect for you, secure underground parking next door and a nice view of either Battersea Park or Battersea power station. Breakfast was good too.

we dont rent rooms by the half hour...

although who knows how the business model will need to adapt over the next few months!

Obviously as individual offices for people who need safe secure office space and cant socially distance in normal place of work...

oy, can you let me try and get some money for my business!

He'll not be a VIP at that place - or get views of the Thames and London Eye (not guaranteed at RHG but maybe...)

And our breakfasts are great!

Just checking out the parking cost with the GM, and whether they are still doing valet parking during virus (I think they are).

Pretty sure room will be £95 inc breakfast with 2 occupants. And I will try and get you a river view if you take it!

Confirmed at £95, now trying to get breakfast included! Edit - breakfast included for all bookings / stays before 30 Nov although that may be extended later...

Valet parking suspended as we are on reduced staff for reduced occupancy and cant guarantee someone who is insured will be on duty to drive but nearest car park is the Q park at Trafalgar square which is 5 mins walk away....

Edit - I knew that as I look after insurance and had to restrict who could drive!

We really enjoyed our stay at RHG a couple of years ago. Fantastic room with a view of the Eye.

Very much recommend it.

Thanks again Ian!

My pleasure, if you fancy it again, prices are as low as they will ever be, London isnt full of tourists, and so its a good time to come (if they dont lock it down).

Rate above can be applied to anyone on the forum with very few exceptions - will only include breakfast if you book and stay before Nov 30th as its stands.

If you want the Tower hotel, £75 (same rule re breakfasts) and I can probably swing free parking if I try hard....

That's much appreciated by all I'm sure. Not travelling myself at the moment but will give you a shout if we decide to in the future.

Glad to hear it, drop me a note with his details and I'll get him VIP'd next trip. Assuming he is coming to London in these strange times.

And thanks for the comment, nothing like personal recommendations when it comes to hotels!

I will, I've stayed at the tower bridge a few times over the years myself, thinking back to central London pricing last year that price is amazing.
