    Very accurate regarding Paddington hotels. &nbsp;They can be very cheap, but you get what you pay for - extremely small rooms stuck in a time warp. &nbsp;That said, they serve a purpose and are ideal if you&apos;re a young traveller on a budget. &nbsp;If, however, you&apos;re a &apos;grown up&apos; with a little more disposable income and are used to more creature comforts, pay a little more and look elsewhere.

    Helli, &nbsp;I really like your videos , especially for their quick pace and practical tips. The last time I visited London was &nbsp;about 20 years ago . Me and my daughter were on &nbsp;a course and lived in Eastborn . So, the visit to London was really short. Now I&apos;m planning my own personal 7 days trip with my grandchildren. Unfortunately , the needs of my grandkids might be a bit different than mine. I guess &nbsp;they will prefer livinig in Soho or other lively areas . I&apos;m dreaming of a historical butique hotel with unnique atmosphere, &nbsp;within a walking distance to the Thames , Westminster and parks as well as main streets and old pubs. &nbsp;I don&apos; t mean Savoy or big hotels &nbsp;of that style , but smaller one , ideally with beautiful interiors. I&apos; m planning to visit British Museum, Westminster Abbey , show the kids Trafalgar Square and the city. And then let them explore their favourite places of their own ( they are in their late teens) . My private intinerary should include some places of cultural importance . &nbsp;And here starts the problem. I&apos; d like to see the houses of famous British writers , historical figures, Londoners of XIX and XX centuries. &nbsp;Soak the atmosphere of that London. Learn more. Despite all my searches there are not many guides on that topic . I&apos; m also the fan of nature and water , which helps me relax after the day of sightseeing. Planning the trip I also need to take into an account my limitations and plan only one intense visit a day plus a theatre or a pub in the evening . Having all that in mind , what hotels and what places would you recommend to stay/ visit ? I&apos;d &nbsp;really appreciate any advice . Regards, Magdalena
