4 January 2013. Annelise, who does not enjoy international flights after several bad experiences, finds her flying mojo on a Johannesburg to London flight with Emirates.

Best London Accommodation

The 2 best rated spots to stay in London are:

  1. Covent Garden Hotel (10 Monmouth Street). A few minutes walk to Covent Garden or the British Museum. Lovely restaurant with a top notch chef. Enjoyable guest lounge. Beautiful library. Surrounding area is safe & lively. Ask for a deluxe room to take advantage of the larger size, and there's more to see from those rooms facing Monmouth Street.

  2. Haymarket Hotel (1 Suffolk Place). A few minutes walk from Piccadily Circus. Ask for higher up rooms with unobscrutcted windows, so that you can people watch.
