The big city awaits!

Our next trip, is far from the coast, and to the big city! London is not a place of excitement for me or hubby as we have to visit for work, so it has lost the sparkle other visitors may feel.

This visit feels different and I'm looking forward to it. Why? Young children! We are taking our three young nephews ( and their mum and Dad) . They have never been before and more to the point haven't been to any other city either!

So, I put my surfing head on and hit the Internet. London for 4 adults and 3 kids is not cheap. Accommodation first. Self catering seems extortionate for what's on offer. Budget chains like Travelodge and Premier Inn couldn't accommodate us in two rooms, plus without breakfast the kids would go bananas, and they have healthy appetites. Breakfast for 7 people for 2 mornings would add up to expensive!

So my needs were simple
1. Central location
2. Two rooms for 4 adults and 3 kids
3. Breakfast included
4. Not fancy, but not outdated chintz
5. A good price!

Surprisingly few options were available , but the one hotel that cropped up time and time again was Holiday Inn Kings Cross/Bloomsbury.

So it's booked! Next I have to sort travel....
