(I do live here but I’m just hopelessly uncool and all the way out in zone 4 with my husband and kids.)
My aunt & uncle are coming to visit from America. They will be staying at a hotel in central London for a few days and then the rest of the time with us. They’ve asked for recommendations on hotels, restaurants, and what neighborhood to stay in for their time before they see us. I’ve lived in London for almost a year so I feel like I should know this stuff but embarrassingly I don’t really. DA and DU are retired but incredibly active. They will want a nice hotel, pretty high end but not completely over the top. Close to the middle of things but not in a loud busy area. They were here 40 years ago so they will prob want to do a lot of tourist stuff, but they are not the hop on hop off bus type of people. More like walking everywhere, museums, trying to be a bit off the beaten path (or at least have the illusion of being that way.). They like to eat well but it doesn’t have to be the fanciest place with a zillion Michelin stars. They’ve lived in NYC for years and now the Bay Area of California so there is plenty of that there. I think they’d like nice places that are special and Londony or different than home. Maybe a great Indian place? Reservations are a must as they WON’T wait 🙄.
Help, please, make me look like I know something......
