Need help for a friend traveling to England

<< < (2/2)

cdbrown:
I can vouch for fulham - coz that's where I live.  And Kew is near where I work and that is also a nice place.

There's plenty of Holiday Inn's around the place which aren't to bad to stay in.

I'm going to say stay somewhere in greater london area because getting around by bus and tube is too easy.  The further out the higher chance you'll need to get the overground trains and then you end up spending most of the sight seeing time on public transport.  Plus if your friend is going to go out and get on the booze in London then it's alot easier to get back.

knave:
What's your friends budget?  I used to stay at some pretty cool hostles right in the center of the city.

I think I paid 10-16 GBP per night and it included some sort of paltry breakfast. (Stay away from the long life milk)

I also used to occasionally find a cheap hotel with a bathroom en suite and I think that was around 60 to 80 GBP.

As for the sights there's so much to do I lived there for a year and still have not seen it all. Depending on what you like Museums(The British museium is cool if you like that sort of thing), castles, shows...I particularly like the Shakspears "globe" theater.  The "Jack the ripper tours can be fun" and/or some double decker tourbus action.
