If you are already bored of the everyday grind and need a few quick, hassle-free days away from everything, why not take a trip to London? The capital of Great Britain is as big a destination for national tourists as it is a draw for those from overseas: take the opportunity to explore the city for pleasure rather than business.

With a wide range of London hotels to choose from on gift-tours.com you can sort out accommodation quickly and cheaply, as there are some great London hotel deals waiting for you. Think about whether you want to do a lot of walking, wether you want to stay nearby all the attractions or rather in the more quiet fields of London and start planning your get-a-way.

In Kensington, or further west in Notting Hill or Paddington can be the right basements for you if you feel like staying north of the river, and your interests are geared towards the big attractions dotted around below and to the west of Oxford Circus. These are some pretty high-flying areas, with wide, long leafy streets, pretty mews full of cottage-y houses and wonderful English pubs. From these picturesque streets you can also meander down to Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace, the Mall and Trafalgar Square - or alternatively hit north London for a stroll in the impressive gardens of Regents Park. If you fancy something less touristy to the north you can take a walk along the canal from Little Venice to Camden where you can see some of the swankiest property in the city alongside the delicate water setting.

As for a night in the town, you choose your price range, your cuisine, your location. From posh nosh near Marylebone to jellied eel in Walthamstow, you can take your pick. And if you find yourself peckish at 4am, hit Brick Lane’s Beigel Shop for a 24-hour bagel fix. After you think you have had enough adventure for one day, roll back into your choice of the cheap hotels in London, with sleeping arrangements the least of your worries, and enjoy your rest to refresh for the next day in the big city...
