When in London we always stay at the Jesmond Hotel (63 Gower Street, London WC1 E6HJ Tel:020 7636 3199 Fax:020 7323 4373) http://www.jesmondhotel.org.uk

It's located in Bloomsbury, a nice area of London about a 10 minute walk to the British Museum, one block from the Gower Street Tube station and just off the Tottenham Court Road. Super convenient to all the sites of London. Lots of shops, including grocery stores and some interesting pubs around. Two blocks away is Charlotte Street, which is chock-a-block with restaurants.

You can easily get to the Chelsea Flower Show by tube. I highly recommend this place.
