Gorgeous Areas That Can Be Found In Inner Cities

By John Winter

There are fabulously beautiful, expensive and luxurious hotels in London like the one where Miss Marple spent a famous holiday. Those are the sorts of places elderly lady detectives like to stay while discovering scandals and crimes hidden behind the calm facade. But some people prefer to spend their vacation budget getting out and seeing and doing rather than on their lodgings. For those people who prefer a cheap London hotel has options.

England's capital city is not an inexpensive place and most travelers look for ways to make their stay more affordable. If your hotel kings cross is just a place to sleep, shower, and stow your gear you probably don't want to put a lot of money into it. You have other priorities.

There are great places to see and things to do in this cosmopolitan city. Central London is an important business and financial district and attracts many business travelers. However it is also historically significant.

Central London is where visitors will find historic buildings and streets that have been mentioned in history books, novel, poems and movies for centuries. Fleet Street is the home of the homicidal barber Sweeney Todd as well as the historic home of the British Press. Harley Street where the medical profession has long maintained its preferred addresses was mentioned in the Oscar-winning movie, The King's Speech. Museums and art galleries abound.

The British Museum, the National Gallery, the Tate Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum are world famous. One of the most historic and fabled locations is the infamous Tower of London. Once a prison, now the Tower is an impressive museum with exhibits that include the legendary Crown Jewels.

In addition to the big famous museums there are many smaller museums that cater to a variety of interests. Fans of comic art will enjoy the Cartoon Museum, just a short walk from the British Museum. And of course Sherlock Holmes enthusiasts won't want to miss 221B Baker Street the home of the Sherlock Holmes Museum.

The legendary Madame Tussauds Wax Museum on Marleybone Road is a two-minute walk from the Baker street tube station. The wax museum has been in the same location since 1884. However the exhibit has grown and changed greatly since the young Anna Maria Grosholtz got her start molding death masks of royal victims of the French Revolution. Today visitors can see modern sports heroes and film stars along with famous figures from history. The Chamber of Horrors remains a favorite exhibit with visitors from all over the world.

But there is more to this vibrant city than museums and galleries. The Soho district is home to some of the most famous and infamous nightspots. Prince Harry has reputedly been seen at some of the livelier clubs and bars. Visitors to London who enjoy shopping, exploring parks gardens and museums by day, and clubs, concerts and theatre by night won't be spending a lot of time in their hotel rooms.

For the tourist looking for cheap hotels London can do. Online searches are a good way to find what you are looking for and see what other travelers recommend. Don't forget to ask for discounts.
