The location, gardens and staff are all very good. The College is a beautiful example of 1930s English architecture. I loved the large interior garden and courtyard. I ate in the magnificent refractory hall. The food was very good, but I think the charge of £12 for the breakfast buffet was steep. The problem was the ladies toilets were blocked 3 times during my 5 night stay. That was all very unpleasant. The mattress had seen better days and the bed creaked.

The computer system seemed to be misbehaving so it was a while before I had a room key, but it wasn't a problem. Thanks for the upgrade. The flat was excellent and immaculate. The kitchen would have catered perfectly for two people and two visitors. What a convenient location!

I stayed in the Nicolas Nickleby suite in the London House for 4 nights. The suite was great: spacious, 4 windows and a great view overlooking the London skyline. The elevator and the short walk over the wonderful roofterras are a wonderful plus
