What is your favorite London hotel? [View All]

[DemoTex]

The moon tonight, and last, inspired this question. Last night if was a half-moon. Tonight it is a waxing gibbous moon.

My all-time favorite London hotel is on Half Moon Street, the Mayfair. It is a great little place on a short street that was the name of a Paul Theroux novel, Half Moon Street, a few years back.

My favorite pub, The Grape (ca 16XX), is just around the corner. It is a great neighborhood, although after dark hookers cruise the narrow streets in high-priced cars looking for wealthy johns. No one seems to mind the hookers. They never enter the hotel bars (unless, maybe, they have a "date").

I have a chance to cover the Farnborough Air Show next month. If it happens, I'll stay at the Mayfair and commute to Farnborough every day.
