SuzyQ123 Posted July 5, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I just booked 6 nights at the Doubletree Victoria in London between our two transatlantic cruises next spring. Just want to check with my cruise critic friends if I have chosen well! Can anyone that has stayed there or is familiar with the hotel tell me how far it is from the tube? My husband has knee issues and I'm trying to minimize his walking as much as I can. Also, are there pubs/restaurants in the area for dinner? Just starting to do my research on London, but want to make sure we've picked an acceptable location for a hotel, while I can still cancel and rebook elsewhere is necessary. Thanks in advance for any advice. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveH2508 Posted July 5, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Very close to tube and buses; loads of decent pubs close by; loads of sightseeing stuff close by - you have loads of choices. I live about a mile away - I could give you a few steers as to decent pubs (my speciality:D). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzyQ123 Posted July 5, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Thanks so much! You've made me feel better about our choices. Would love to get any recommendations you might have for local /restaurants. Really looking forward to our visit to London! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunsetbeachgal Posted July 6, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 6, 2014 We stayed at another hotel in the Victoria area of London on our last visit and thought it was very convenient. We used the tube and the bus system and it is very close by. Yes, restaurants, pubs, coffee places, etc.all over the place. I have stayed in other areas of London that I might classify as more upscale than Victoria, such as Mayfair and Knightsbridge, but for convenience the Victoria area is great.

SuzyQ123 Posted July 6, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Thanks for the info! I'm always grateful for the comments. We were looking more for convenience than anything so I think we've done ok. I'm just starting to do our research on the city and what we want to do. I can see that half the fun will be in the planning. My husband retires in 3 weeks and we are really looking forward to being able to travel more.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globaliser Posted July 7, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Seafresh fish and chips http://fishandchipsinlondon.com/ And almost next door, About Thyme - highly recommended. There's actually a lot of choice along Wilton Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
