my friend works with hotels in London all the time - will ask her suggestion....
shit, totally forgot about this - my apologies. Will ask today, if the info is still useful.
On another note - if you find yourself in Welling, do not despair! Go to the big Italian restaurant on the high street - it's amaaaazing.
Haven't we all been conditioned from a young age to avoid at all costs going to a hotel on Mayfair or Park Lane?The Mayfair (Radisson) is beautiful - er....in Mayfair
Grosvenor House - Park Lane

once in a blue moon (where the fuck does that phrase even come from?)
ok, her response:
"If they want a classical type hotel, I would recommend the Langham. Portland Place
The Mayfair (Radisson) is beautiful - er....in Mayfair
Grosvenor House - Park Lane
St Martin's Lane/ Sanderson - very modern, arty, a tad wanky, media types love it"
thanks much! i'm a clueless yank, so a little mayfair/park lane doesn't bother me. and i'm also a media type (and perhaps at times even a bit wanky), so st. martin's lane is also a possibility... ;-)
The Sanderson is really nice, plus you get to drink with Sugababes or whoever at the bar, which may not go down too well with the wife. But it means she can have a drink with Callum Best or someone while you're doing the Sugababes. Not doing the Sugababes, oh you know what I mean.
had our anniversary dinner last week at andrew edmunds on lexington st, pretty nice for the occasion. small, cozy, good menu and not outrageously expensive. some tables were a bit crowded but we lucked out and had more room. recommended.
also, ended up staying at hazlitt's hotel on frith st, off soho square. figured we'd go for something old instead of one of the modern design hotels. expensive but pretty nice.
I like Andrew Edmunds, my bedroom used to be painted that green colour that they have downstairs which made me feel at home. Jealous about Hazlitts!
BUMP
Going to be meeting a friend in London at Tate Britain, anywhere good to eat around there? Usually like british, italian or french cuisine but open to anything really. Just dont want to end up at a pizza express.
Suggestions?
