The Advantages of a London Bed and Breakfast

Whether you are planning a quiet business trip or a romantic getaway, you'll need to find somewhere to stay in London. A bed and breakfast in London is one option to look at; however, you will need to determine whether this is the right option for you.

In recent years bed and breakfast accommodations have once again become popular for people who were looking for a warm and cozy place to stay for their vacation.

This type of accommodation is generally lower cost than London hotels. Travelers can enjoy home-cooked meals and the hospitality of locals.

Choosing a bed & breakfast offers quite a few advantages. Locals who are most familiar with the most interesting sights in the area, you can take advantage of having your own personal tour guide. Your host will be able to tell you everything you need to know about the best local attractions. They'll likely know short cuts and best routes to get to places.

If you're planning a shopping expedition in London, there's a good chance your hosts will be able to point you in the direction of some bargains.

If you like last minute trips, many London B&B's will welcome you, even without a booking, making it the perfect travel option for those spontaneous travelers who want to leave without a moment’s notice.

When considering your choices you should also consider staying in a hotel. Hotels usually offer a bigger room and higher quality of fixtures and fittings. You may also find your stay is more private and "anonymous" in a hotel room as opposed to a B&B. Most hotels have more amenities than B&Bs, such as gyms, bars, restaurants and even shops.
