  1. Indeed the first time it was quite by chance that I saw Belgravia square. It is really worth a walk after Buckingham Palace of which you can still feel the atmosphere and you can dream to be a courter. And you can still feel a courter if you are lucky enough to book in a small boutique hotel jst as i did. I generally use reliable booking sites, like ‘prontohotel.com’ that compares hotel prices between many websites.

  2. I stayed in London 3 time, the first time I stay in London for the Travel Fair, World Travel Market, WTM. For this travel I booked on internet 1 of many London Hotels near a Earls Court Metro station, I make my hotel reservation on http://www.prontohotel.com , very good site to find the best price. The second time I reserve the hotel in London on http://www.protnohotel.com/gbr/london, in the Piccadilly circus area, the last time I have booked 1 of many hotels in London on http://www.prontohotel.com in Belgravia Area, at few meters of Belgrazia square, very good are.
