I'm thinking of booking a 2 night stay in London midweek at the end of August and i'm looking for any advice on good/reasonably priced hotels in London and any other tips as to what to see where to go where to drink/eat etc without breaking the bank would be welcome.
I'm going with gf so probably try and see a show one of the nights (probably getting tickets from the discounted ticket booths?), she not into just sitting in a pub but does like to go to restaurants, on the sight seeing front we pretty open minded about what to do and see - maybe a river cruise on one afternoon would be good if the weather's good.
I've found a couple of likely contenders so far through different sites and want to know which would be best for location and convenience to the centre and theatres. I can get 2 nights at the Tara Copthorne in Kensington for £99 per room per night includes breakfast and a glass of fizzy stuff or the Novotel in Greenwich for £71 per room per night but no breakfast - both hotels are pretty close to their respective tube/train stations too - so thats the kinda budget i'm looking at - either any good or any better ideas?
