March in London

Soho is the first-timer's no-brainer: theatres, food and everything walkable. Shoreditch is where design, coffee and late nights live, with faster access to the City. South Bank is the family pick: river, museums and no need for the Tube. Kensington is calm, polished and the easiest Heathrow base.

The season

Spring

Spring tends to be among the most requested seasons, so good central rooms and weekend slots move early. Parks and long walks are usually at their best, and the city feels lively without summer's peak crush. Pack for changeable weather and book your first choices ahead.

Spring and autumn are the most requested seasons, so central hotels move early and rates tend to firm up. Summer brings long days but also school holidays and heavier crowds around the main sights. Winter is quieter outside the festive stretch, with Christmas lights in the centre and some of the calmest weeks early in the year.

Send me the trip. I’ll send back the area.

Dates, budget, who’s travelling and the one thing you don’t want to deal with. I’ll answer with a specific base, not a brochure.
