I'm trying to organise a night away (but staying in London) for my husband's birthday at the end of the month. We're due number 2 in 7 weeks so I'll be 36 weeks by then, so don't want to go further than London (last baby was born just before 37 weeks so not taking any chances!). Plus leaving 2 yr old at home with my mum so looking to minimise travel time and maximise time away from toddler! Have been looking and can't decide, so thought I'd seek personal recommendations...I like idea of somewhere quite luxurious but equally being that pregnant I won't want to be stressing about looking glamorous! Have plenty ideas for where we can eat so sorted on that side. We've done the soho hotel so am avoiding the others in that chain (charlotte st etc) as looking for somewhere new to us...


Did think about the church st hotel in camberwell but thought perhaps TOO close to home! Food is lovely though...


any ideas??

I've enjoyed stays at the Hazlitt in Soho, and they have a sister hotel in the city called the Rookery which looks lovely, both quite old-style - if modern is your style then they might not be for you - we chose it because our house is fairly modern so it made a change. Breakfast wasn't great, so would recommend going out for breakfast somewhere yummier....

or maybe the new St Johns hotel near Leicester square?

we went to the Hazlitt for my husbands 40th and it was so lovely. I definitely want to try the Rookery next, and agree that St Johns is maybe a bit trendy - might be fun for the curiosity factor, but might not feel like a treat.

Don't have the breakfast though - it was those rolls you get half-frozen and then reheated - yuck! might have changed by now, it was a while ago....

have a great time wherever you choose,

For my birthday last year, me and husband went to Andaz in Liverpool St. Lovely hotel, excellent breakfast, near to spitalfields market for a Sunday browse and also by brick lane (curry. Love a curry. Mmmm...)

was close enough to get home asap if needs be, Which we ended up doing as I was still b/f seb and couldn't get a response from my pump- had to rush home to feed him. Well done me.

We've stayed at The Academy in Bloomsbury a few times including our wedding night (haven't been post baby though!). It's not 5 star by any means but really nice with lovely breakfasts which you can have in your room if you want. It's near Drummond St which has great curry restaurants on it and also close-ish to Goodge St area for other eating options.
Hazlitt's is great (tho i agree about breakfast). Also try the Malmaison. It's a boutique chain (sister chain to Hotel du vin) and they do great breakfast in your room. Haven't tried the London one, but can highly recommend the Oxford, Belfast, Cambridge, and Henley ones!

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
