Looking for a German speaker - help with word order!

I'm trying to write a short message in German and I want to say "I hope you will visit London soon".
Is it: "Ich hoffe, daß Sie werden London bald besuchen".
I always get confused with conditional verbs. If anyone can tell me if the above is correct I'd be very grateful!

Werden goes right at the end

Werden goes at the very end.

Why is there a comma after "hoffe"? And where's the conditional?
