For my birthday this year I've been given the gift of silence- essentially two nights away on my own (I love DH and DD, but I've only had one night on my own since she was born three years ago).
I was thinking of staying in a niceish hotel in London, as given I will be going in November I want somewhere nice to be able to retreat to if there is awful weather. Not too fussed on location as long as it has easy access to the tube for me to hop around. Thinking of going to a couple of theatre shows while there and general wanderings (if anyone has any suggestions, then let me know!).
Budget is around £500 for two nights, but I'm happy to top that up a bit for a good deal. If it includes breakfast, then fab, but not too fussed as I can always grab stuff out and about.
Was hoping the hotel would have either additional facilities (like a pool, spa or fitness centre) that I can have access to. Came across the Leonardo Royal Hotel in Tower Bridge which seemed nice! One massive love would be a great bath in the room as I love a long soak. Not a dealbreaker though if the room is nice and I can just mootch.
Also- would love recommendations for a nice dinner where I wouldn't look out of place as a solo diner! I was toying with the idea of going to a Gordon Ramsey restaurant for a beef wellington but at some point I'm going to have to reign my hypothetical budget in.
Final also- I have always wanted to have a nosy around jewellery in pawn shops. Not the ridiculous range mind, but was hoping to maybe get a nice half eternity ring for cheaper if possible! So if anyone knows of any that would be good to visit, then let me know (unless Hatton Garden is the best place?)
