London suburbs are like no other IMO. Very busy, and you're often next door to a pub, so no worries. :) I'm waiting on a friend who's actually in the industry over there to email me back. :) He just sold his B&B and is currently renovating rental properties I think. He's also a chef, so knows all

yeah and Wembley isn't exactly central London anyway. Erika is probably your best bet for specific suggestions, but Wembley's not far from Richmond, which is a nice place. Don't know anything about places to stay there, but you could try some searches around that area while you're waiting for her

I use Trip Advisor to find hotels anytime I travel to unfamiliar city. You can select the areas and price range you want, then filter by traveler ratings. The people who rate the hotels on Trip Advisor are brutally honest, so you get a true picture of what to expect. http://www.tripadvisor.com

Don't stay in London center. Go into a suburb, stay in a B&B. If you give me a few days, I have a bunch of friends over there ... I can get a few good recommendations. Plenty of B&B spots in the suburbs close to the rail system. :) You'll have a blast! :) On Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 1:03 PM, Ray Cha

I haven't stayed in hotels in London, just with friends. I'd asking about over on the Railo list if you don't get much traction here, there seem to be more UK devs there. I'd also do some asking on Twitter. Mark Drew is in London, I think. Big Mad Kev is farther north I believe. James Allen and Pr

So the wife and I bought tickets to see the Patriots/Rams game in London in October, kind of on a whim. We go to an away game every year and decided this was too good of an opportunity to pass up. But, sticker shock set in when trying to book a hotel in the city. Central London (or whatever the
