ABOUT LONDON and the St. James Club hotel????

hello,


a friend and I will be travelling to london next month and we will be staying at the st. james club hotel. is that a nice hotel? how do i get there from heathrow airport? how much is a taxi ride to this hotel?





any other tips about travelling to london would be greatly appreciated!!ABOUT LONDON and the St. James Club hotel????
hey i just answered your other question.... following is the advice from heathrow...





Piccadilly Line (underground) straight to Green Park station.. and the hotel's a 2 mins walk from the station.





This is simple n cheap, a taxi ride will cost you at least 拢30, whereas this comes up to.... just 拢15 at the very max.





as mentioned in the earlier post, you should get a week's travel card (zones 1-3) as this is the best method.. cabs are very expensive and worthless unless you're travelling late at night.





however heathrow aiport is zone 6, so upon arrival just buy a normal day's travel card (all zones)....





London is divided into 6 zones... 1 being the inner most of the city, 6 being the outskirts. you'll be in zone 1-2... so just in case you should get zone 3 included.ABOUT LONDON and the St. James Club hotel????
You can either get a taxi that will cost approx 拢45-55 from Heathrow or take the tube train from Heathrow to Green Park station. You can walk from there. This is the cheapest way. A good resource for travelling to London is http://www.londonvacationguide.com
I just ';multimapped'; the postcode of the St James Club Hotel, given in the link here:

If that's the one, you're just off Piccadilly, with Fortnum and Mason, The Ritz and the Royal Academy within a few minutes. St James's Street is famous for its Gentlemen's Clubs, including Brooks, Boodles and Whites - and famous particularly in Regency times.





Just up the road (east) is Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. As the above respondent said, a travel card is a good idea so you can hop on and off buses (also right about the other travel); but Oxford Street and Regent Street are within walking distance. You're very central.
