Grosvenor House by a mile. Great location, awesome service and their Sunday afternoon tea is fantastic.

Neither. Stay at the Marriott Grosvenor Square. If you can do Hilton I highly recommend the Waldorf Hilton.

Just got back from a week long stay at Grosvenor House. Decent transportation options, bus stop/tube station is 10 mins walk which could be overbearing on a hot day. Lounge is fantastic. Ask for a room on 6,7 or 8th floors, roomier and newly renovated.

Both are gorgeous. The County Hall is literally across the Westminster bridge from The tube (jubilee/circle/district lines) and walking to Waterloo (tube, natl rail, etc). Stayed at CH 3x. Had tea at Grosvenor

Agree with PWC. I’ve stayed a few times at both. You don’t want to be south of the river if you can help it

I stayed at the Edition a couple months ago. Pretty trendy place although a tab more expensive on points.

SC1, why? I am going to London in a month, and staying south of the river!

GH. Ask them to give you a Reno room. The lounge is good - they serve dinner. Mayfair has some really nice restaurants where you can walk easily.

M1 - transportation links are worse. There’s more to do north of the river. Neighborhoods are better north. I lived north and worked south. Had to take tube to train then walk 20 to the office when my home was in Zone 1!

Great input

IBM 1 - do you get lounge access here if gold or platinum like we do in the states?

Thanks everyone

+1 on Grosvenor. Stayed there and was minutes away from most common sight seeing spots

Renaissance St. Pancras is great too. Especially if you’re going to take the train somewhere else in Europe

This is so AWKWARD. We had our holiday party last night and everyone was drinking (open bar) a group of us went outside to grab cabs together and go home, everything was cool. Tell me why once I got in the cab I got a drunk call from my manager asking if he could get a cab to my place and if I would give him the address 🤦🏻‍♀️. I'm single and not mad that he finds me attractive, more worried that all my other coworkers heard him calling me while they waited with him!!

My colleague's (he is on h1b) mom passed away. His visa stamping expired. Is there any way he can travel to India and come back thru emergency visa? Or there other countries he can try visa stamping? Thank you
