Your choice of town matters a lot, because the towns are far apart and the buses don’t run often. If you stay at the wrong end, you’ll spend much of your holiday in the car. Here are my recommendations for seven good towns in the Cotswolds and hotels in several price ranges.

The Best Towns in the Cotswolds

• Bourton-on-the-Water - best town for first-time visitors
• Stow-on-the-Wold - best base for seeing as much as possible
• Moreton-in-Marsh - best town without a car
• Chipping Campden - best town for walking
• Broadway - best town for luxury and romance
• Burford - best town close to Oxford and London
• Castle Combe - best town for village charm near Bath

Below, I’ll take you through the seven towns one by one and recommend hotels in three price ranges, so you can find the base that suits your trip to the Cotswolds.

1. Bourton-on-the-Water - best town for first-time visitors

• Location: In the middle of the northern Cotswolds, around 6 to 7 km south of Stow-on-the-Wold.
• Transport: Bus 801 runs to the railway station in Moreton-in-Marsh in around 30 minutes, and bus 802 runs to Kingham Station.
• Time from Heathrow: Around 1.5 to 2 hours by car.
• Price range: €€ to €€€. The three hotels below cost roughly £155 to £235 a night when I searched for a weekend in May.
• Safety: Very safe. The main things to watch out for are the traffic in the narrow streets and the smallest children by the low riverbank.

Bourton-on-the-Water is the town most people have seen pictures of before they visit the Cotswolds. The River Windrush runs right through the centre, with low stone bridges, lawns and trees along the banks, which is why the town is often called the Venice of the Cotswolds. It’s an easy town to stay in on your first visit, because you’ve got restaurants, cafés, tearooms and shops within a few minutes’ walk.

The town is also a good choice for families. Behind The Old New Inn pub, there’s a model village that shows Bourton as it looked in the 1930s, built at one-ninth scale from local stone. Children can spend ages by the river, where the water is shallow, and there’s room to run around on the grass between the bridges.

If you’ve got a car, I’d park it at the hotel and leave it there while you’re in town. Everything in the centre is within walking distance, and you won’t have to hunt for a free space in the middle of the day when the town is packed.

See hotels in Bourton-on-the-Water here.

The downside is that Bourton is one of the most visited towns in the Cotswolds. At weekends and in the school holidays, the streets fill up with day-trippers and coach parties during the day, and the car parks fill up quickly. If you stay in town, though, you get the quiet hours in the morning and evening when most people have gone home, and that’s exactly when the town is at its most charming.

From here, it’s a short trip to Stow-on-the-Wold and the small villages of Upper and Lower Slaughter, and bus 855 runs to Bibury and Cirencester. That makes Bourton a practical base if you’ve got a car, but also if you want to get by on the bus on some days. Check the bus routes on the official Cotswolds tourism website before you travel, as fewer buses run on Sundays.

Places to Stay in Bourton-on-the-Water

The Dial House - best hotel in the middle of the High Street

The Dial House is on the High Street in the middle of Bourton and is the most expensive of my three picks in town. The hotel has a restaurant, a bar, a garden and free parking, and the last of those is a real advantage in a town where the car parks otherwise fill up fast. Some guests mention that the rooms are small and that the restaurant has a limited dinner service on Sundays.

One guest writes on Booking.com: “The location was perfect. You’re in the heart of the village and couldn’t be more central.”

See photos and book The Dial House here.

Meadow Rise Guest House - bed & breakfast with a much-praised breakfast and family rooms

Meadow Rise is a bed & breakfast on Pock Hill Lane, around five minutes’ walk from the river and the centre. There’s free parking and there are family rooms, and the breakfast, with both a full English and vegetarian options, gets lots of praise. The rooms, and especially the bathrooms, are small, so it suits a couple or a small family who’ll be out most of the time.

One guest highlights the hosts on Booking.com: “The hosts were really lovely, very cheerful and helpful.”

See photos and book Meadow Rise Guest House here.

Halford House - cheapest pick and adults only

Halford House is on Station Road, a few minutes’ walk from the centre, and only accepts adults. It was the cheapest of the three when I searched, and it also has the highest guest rating at 9.4. There’s free parking and a garden where you can sit in the evening, but some guests mention that the rooms can get warm in summer.

One guest sums up their stay on Booking.com: “It’s an absolute gem in the Cotswolds!”

See photos and book Halford House here.

2. Stow-on-the-Wold - best base for seeing as much as possible

• Location: High up in the middle of the northern Cotswolds, around 6 to 7 km from both Bourton-on-the-Water and Moreton-in-Marsh.
• Transport: Bus 801 runs to the railway station in Moreton-in-Marsh in around 20 minutes, and bus 802 runs to Kingham Station.
• Time from Heathrow: Around 1.5 to 2 hours by car.
• Price range: €€ to €€€. The three hotels below cost roughly £155 to £335 a night when I searched for a weekend in May.
• Safety: Very safe. There’s quite a lot of traffic on the roads through the town, so take care when you cross.

Stow-on-the-Wold sits nearly 800 feet (around 245 metres) above sea level and is the highest town in the Gloucestershire part of the Cotswolds. The town is built around a large market square, where some of the region’s biggest sheep fairs were once held, and today it’s known for its many antique shops.

I’d choose Stow if you want to see as much of the northern Cotswolds as possible in a few days. Bourton-on-the-Water, Moreton-in-Marsh and the villages of Upper and Lower Slaughter are all close by, and it isn’t a long drive to Chipping Campden and Broadway either.

The town lies on the Fosse Way, the old Roman road that’s now the A429. It links Stow with Moreton-in-Marsh to the north and runs past Bourton-on-the-Water to the south, so it’s easy to find your way around when you’re driving on day trips.

See hotels in Stow-on-the-Wold here.

There’s more going on in the evening than in many of the villages, because several old inns and pubs line the square. That means you can go out to eat without having to drive, which is a big advantage in an area where most restaurants otherwise need a car.

Take a walk past St Edward’s Church too, where two old yew trees stand on either side of the porch. The church is only a couple of minutes’ walk from the market square, so it’s easy to fit into an evening stroll.

The downside is that Stow is more exposed than the villages down in the valleys and can be cooler and windier. The town doesn’t have the river or the same picture-postcard feel as Bourton either. In return, you get a lively market town with more places to eat, and you’re close to most of the northern Cotswolds whichever direction you drive in.

Places to Stay in Stow-on-the-Wold

The Old Stocks Inn - best boutique hotel on the market square

The Old Stocks Inn is right on the market square, The Square, and has a five-star rating. The hotel has a restaurant, a bar, a garden and a terrace where you can eat outdoors, and there’s free parking. Some guests feel the rooms are cramped for the price, so I’d choose it when location and food matter most.

One guest writes on Booking.com: “The staff were really friendly and helpful, the room was fantastic and the food was excellent.”

See photos and book The Old Stocks Inn here.

Stow Lodge Hotel - classic hotel with a garden right by the square

Stow Lodge is also by the market square and has its own garden and free parking. The hotel has over 1,100 guest reviews with a rating of 8.9, and the restaurant serves traditional British food. A few guests mention that the rooms can be chilly at night.

One guest praises the staff on Booking.com: “The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. They were welcoming, friendly and attentive to every guest’s needs.”

See photos and book Stow Lodge Hotel here.

B - Simply Rooms - cheapest pick with modern rooms

B - Simply Rooms is a small guest house on The Park, around five minutes’ walk from the market square. The rooms are modern and have their own bathrooms, there’s free parking, and it’s adults only. Breakfast isn’t served, so you’ll need to eat out, but that’s easy to do on the square.

One guest writes on Booking.com: “The owner welcomed us from the start and was very accommodating.”

See photos and book B - Simply Rooms here.

3. Moreton-in-Marsh - best town without a car

• Location: In the north-eastern part of the Cotswolds, around 7 km north of Stow-on-the-Wold.
• Train: Direct GWR trains from London Paddington in around 1.5 hours.
• Time from Heathrow: Around 1.5 hours by car or just over 2 hours by train via London Paddington.
• Price range: €€ to €€€. The three hotels below cost roughly £200 to £280 a night when I searched for a weekend in May.
• Safety: Safe. The High Street is a through road with quite a lot of traffic, so use the pedestrian crossings.

Moreton-in-Marsh is my first choice if you don’t want to hire a car. The town has its own railway station on the Cotswold Line, and the fastest direct trains from London Paddington get you there in around 1 hour and 25 minutes. Tickets bought well in advance can cost from around £14 each way.

From the station, bus 801 continues to Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water, and Stagecoach buses 1 and 2 run to Chipping Campden in around 30 minutes. Bus 801 runs roughly once an hour Monday to Saturday and every two hours on Sundays, so you can see several towns without a car, but you’ll need to plan your days around the timetable.

The train from London runs via Oxford, so you can also stop off on the way and see the university city before you carry on into the countryside.

See hotels in Moreton-in-Marsh here.

The town itself is a working market town with a wide High Street, supermarkets, pubs and cafés. It’s less picturesque than Bourton and Chipping Campden, but it’s practical, and the hotels are within walking distance of the station, so you won’t have to drag your suitcase far.

Moreton is also a good choice if you’re combining the Cotswolds with a few days in London. If you land at Heathrow, you can take the train into Paddington and change there. I’ve written a guide on how to get from Heathrow Airport to central London and a guide to where to stay in London.

The downside is that you don’t get the quiet village atmosphere in the evening, and there’s a lot of traffic through the town. So I’d choose Moreton for the transport links and spend the days visiting the prettier villages around it.

Places to Stay in Moreton-in-Marsh

The Manor House Hotel - best hotel with a garden and restaurant

The Manor House is on the High Street in an old manor house with a garden and terrace behind the building. The hotel has a restaurant, a lift, an electric car charging point and free parking, and it welcomes dogs. Some guests mention noise from events such as weddings, so ask for a quiet room.

One guest writes on Booking.com: “Everything about this hotel was good. Staff, food, etc.”

See photos and book The Manor House Hotel here.

The White Hart Royal - historic inn in the middle of the High Street

The White Hart Royal is an old inn in the middle of the High Street with a restaurant, a bar and a garden. It suits you if you’d like to stay in a historic building and have a pub and restaurant under the same roof. Several guests mention that parking can be tricky, so the hotel works best if you’re arriving by train.

One guest highlights the welcome on Booking.com: “The staff were very welcoming, and the hotel was beautiful.”

See photos and book The White Hart Royal here.

The Bell Inn - cheapest pick and the highest rated in town

The Bell Inn is an inn on the High Street with a restaurant, a bar, family rooms and free parking. It was the cheapest of my three picks in Moreton, and it also has the highest guest rating at 9.0. The restaurant can be full on busy evenings, so book a table if you want to eat there.

One guest writes on Booking.com: “The staff were incredibly warm and friendly and went the extra mile to give us a lovely honeymoon.”

See photos and book The Bell Inn here.

4. Chipping Campden - best town for walking

• Location: In the northernmost part of the Cotswolds, around 9 km north-west of Moreton-in-Marsh as the crow flies.
• Transport: Stagecoach buses 1 and 2 run to the railway station in Moreton-in-Marsh in around 30 minutes, and bus 606 runs to Broadway and Cheltenham.
• Time from Heathrow: Around 2 hours by car.
• Price range: €€ to €€€. The three hotels below cost roughly £180 to £260 a night when I searched for a weekend in May.
• Safety: Very safe and quiet in the evening. Drive carefully on the narrow country lanes around the town.

Chipping Campden is one of the most beautiful towns in the Cotswolds. The curving High Street is built almost entirely of honey-coloured stone, and in the middle of the street stands the Market Hall, which Sir Baptist Hicks had built in 1627 as a shelter for the town’s traders. Today, the building is owned by the National Trust.

The town is also the starting point of the Cotswold Way, a 102-mile (164 km) walking route that goes all the way to Bath. You don’t need to walk the whole route to enjoy it. Even a short walk out of town gives you views over the countryside, and it’s a good place to start a day on foot.

In the Middle Ages, the town was a wealthy centre of the wool trade, and you can still see that in the large stone houses along the High Street and in St James’ Church at the end of Church Street.

See hotels in Chipping Campden here.

The garden at Hidcote, run by the National Trust, is around 3 miles (5 km) from the town. It’s laid out in the Arts and Crafts style as a series of garden rooms and is an obvious outing if you love gardens.

Chipping Campden is quieter than Bourton and Stow and suits couples and walkers who want peaceful evenings and a couple of good pubs within walking distance. Broadway is only around 5 km away as the crow flies, so you can easily see both towns on the same trip.

The downside is that the town is on the northern edge of the Cotswolds. If you want to see Bibury, Burford or Castle Combe, you’ll have longer drives than from Stow. Parking can also be difficult at the busy times in the middle of the day, so check whether your hotel has its own parking before you book.

Places to Stay in Chipping Campden

Cotswold House Hotel and Spa - best hotel with a spa and indoor pool

Cotswold House is on The Square in the middle of the town and has a spa with a sauna and an indoor pool. There’s also a restaurant, a garden and free parking, so it’s a good choice for a weekend when you want to both walk and relax. Some guests mention that the bathrooms could do with an update.

One guest writes on Booking.com: “We loved this hotel. It’s in a great location, has parking and the rooms are very comfortable.”

See photos and book Cotswold House Hotel and Spa here.

Noel Arms - classic inn in the middle of the High Street

The Noel Arms is an old inn on the High Street with a restaurant, a bar and free parking. It suits you if you want to stay in the middle of the town and be close to the Cotswold Way. Several guests mention that some of the rooms are a little worn, so look at the photos of the room types before you choose.

One guest praises the staff on Booking.com: “All the staff were excellent, very friendly and incredibly helpful.”

See photos and book Noel Arms here.

Eight Bells Inn - cheapest pick with good food

The Eight Bells is a cosy inn on Church Street with a restaurant, a garden and a terrace. It was the cheapest of my three picks in Chipping Campden, and it also has the highest guest rating at 8.9. Parking is limited, so the inn works best if you’re arriving by bus or don’t mind parking a little way off.

One guest writes on Booking.com: “A fantastic stay with great food and fantastic staff!”

See photos and book Eight Bells Inn here.

5. Broadway - best town for luxury and romance

• Location: In Worcestershire on the north-western edge of the Cotswolds, around 5 km west of Chipping Campden as the crow flies.
• Transport: Bus 606 runs to Chipping Campden and Cheltenham, and Stagecoach buses 1, 2 and 3 link the town with the railway station in Moreton-in-Marsh.
• Time from Heathrow: Around 2 hours by car.
• Price range: €€€. The three hotels below cost roughly £200 to £605 a night when I searched for a weekend in May.
• Safety: Very safe. Watch the traffic when you cross the wide High Street.

Broadway is the place if your budget stretches to one of the area’s well-known luxury hotels. The town sits at the foot of the escarpment on the north-western edge of the Cotswolds, and the wide High Street with its grass verges is lined with golden stone houses, galleries, antique shops and tearooms.

Lots of visitors come during the day, but it goes quiet in the evening, and several of the hotels have their own restaurants. That makes Broadway an obvious choice for a romantic weekend or a special occasion, when the hotel is part of the experience.

See hotels in Broadway here.

Up on the hill above the town stands Broadway Tower, a viewing tower with sweeping views over the countryside. You can drive up or walk up a path from the town if you’re ready for a steep climb.

The Cotswold Way also passes through Broadway on its way south from Chipping Campden. You can walk the stretch between the two towns and take bus 606 back if you don’t want to walk the same way home. It’s a good day out, with views and a pub or tearoom at the end.

Broadway is close to Chipping Campden, so you can easily combine the two towns on the same day. From here, it’s also a short trip to Stratford-upon-Avon, which the Stagecoach buses run to as well, if you’d like to see Shakespeare’s birthplace.

The downside is the price. Broadway was the most expensive of the seven towns when I searched, and even the cheaper places to stay cost more than in Moreton or Stow. The town is also at the northern end of the Cotswolds, so it’s a long way to Burford, Bibury and Castle Combe, and you’ll have the longest drives if you want to see the southern part.

Places to Stay in Broadway

The Lygon Arms - best luxury hotel with a spa and pool

The Lygon Arms is on the High Street and is one of the best-known old coaching inns in the Cotswolds. You get a spa with an indoor pool, a sauna, a gym, a tennis court and a restaurant, so it’s a hotel you can spend the whole weekend at. It’s also expensive, and some guests mention that parts of the hotel are in need of renovation.

One guest writes on Booking.com: “Fantastic service from the moment we arrived.”

See photos and book The Lygon Arms here.

The Broadway Hotel - best choice by the village green

The Broadway Hotel is by the village green, The Green, at the end of the High Street and has over 1,100 guest reviews with a rating of 9.0. There’s a brasserie, a bar, a garden and free parking. A few guests mention that the cleaning could be more thorough, but most praise the rooms and the staff.

One guest writes on Booking.com: “Beautiful hotel, the rooms feel luxurious and the staff are lovely!”

See photos and book The Broadway Hotel here.

George Apartments - cheapest pick with its own kitchenette

George Apartments is in Keil Close just off the High Street and is made up of apartments with kitchenettes, so you can make your own breakfast. There’s free parking and there are family rooms, which makes it a good choice for families in an otherwise expensive town. Some guests mention that the walls are thin and that you can hear the neighbours.

One guest keeps it short and sweet on Booking.com: “Everything was wonderful.”

See photos and book George Apartments here.

6. Burford - best town close to Oxford and London

• Location: In the eastern part of the Cotswolds in Oxfordshire, around 27 km west of Oxford as the crow flies.
• Transport: Stagecoach bus S2 runs from Oxford in around an hour. There’s no railway station in the town, so a car is by far the easiest option.
• Time from Heathrow: Around 1.5 hours by car.
• Price range: €€ to €€€. The three hotels below cost roughly £170 to £280 a night when I searched for a weekend in May.
• Safety: Very safe. The High Street is steep and has quite a lot of traffic, so take care when you cross.

Burford is called the Gateway to the Cotswolds, and that makes sense. The town is at the eastern end, closest to Oxford and London, and the High Street runs steeply down the hill to a medieval bridge over the River Windrush. The Church of St John the Baptist is a so-called wool church from the days when the town was an important market for wool.

I’d choose Burford for a long weekend when you’re coming from London or want to combine the Cotswolds with Oxford. You’re out in the countryside quickly and avoid a long drive into the area after a day of travelling.

From Heathrow, you drive most of the way on the M40 motorway and the A40 main road, which runs right past the town. If you land in the afternoon, you can easily get there in time for dinner.

See hotels in Burford here.

Along the Windrush valley, there are small villages such as Swinbrook, where the Mitford sisters are buried by the church, and it’s a lovely stretch to drive or cycle.

If you’ve got children with you, Cotswold Wildlife Park near Burford is a good day out. Among other things, you can see giraffes from a walkway at eye level and watch rhinos, lions and penguins.

Burford has a good handful of inns, pubs and shops, but the town is small, and it’s quiet in the evening. The downside is that it’s further to the northern towns such as Chipping Campden and Broadway, so it isn’t the best base if you want to see the whole of the northern Cotswolds. On the other hand, it’s only around 20 to 30 minutes’ drive to both Bourton-on-the-Water and Bibury, so you can easily reach the best-known villages on a day trip from here.

Places to Stay in Burford

The Lamb Inn - best inn on a quiet side street

The Lamb Inn is on Sheep Street, a quiet side street just off the High Street, and it’s the most expensive of my three picks in Burford. The inn has a restaurant, a traditional bar and a garden, and it welcomes dogs. Parking can be difficult on busy days, so ask the inn about the options before you arrive.

One guest writes on Booking.com: “Really friendly and helpful staff, a great atmosphere and excellent food.”

See photos and book The Lamb Inn here.

Prince of Burford - best choice with a large car park

The Prince of Burford is on Cheltenham Road at the top end of the town by the roundabout where you turn off the main road. The hotel has a restaurant, family rooms and a large car park, so it’s easy if you’ve got a car. Some guests mention traffic noise from the roundabout.

One guest praises the food on Booking.com: “A very good choice on both the breakfast and dinner menus. The food was really good.”

See photos and book Prince of Burford here.

The Golden Pheasant Inn - cheapest pick in the middle of the High Street

The Golden Pheasant is in the middle of the High Street and was the cheapest of the three when I searched. The inn has a restaurant, a bar and a terrace, and it welcomes dogs. Parking is limited, so it works best if you want to stay centrally and don’t need to move the car every day.

One guest writes on Booking.com: “Our stay was excellent, and I can highly recommend it.”

See photos and book The Golden Pheasant Inn here.

7. Castle Combe - best town for village charm near Bath

• Location: In Wiltshire in the southern Cotswolds, around 15 km north-east of Bath as the crow flies.
• Transport: Train from London Paddington to Chippenham in just over an hour, then bus 35 to Castle Combe in around 25 minutes.
• Time from Heathrow: Around 1.5 to 2 hours by car.
• Price range: €€ to €€€. The three hotels below cost roughly £155 to £350 a night when I searched for a weekend in May.
• Safety: Very safe. The village is small and quiet in the evening once the day-trippers have left.

Castle Combe is the smallest place on the list and lies a long way from the others in the southern part of the Cotswolds. The village sits in a valley by the Bybrook, and its old stone houses cluster around a medieval market cross where the three main streets meet. The village has been used as a film set for films such as the original Doctor Dolittle and War Horse.

I’d choose Castle Combe if you want to combine the Cotswolds with Bath, or if you dream of a few quiet nights in a small village. Bath is close enough for a day trip, and the city has Roman baths, Georgian architecture and lots of restaurants.

If you don’t have a car, you can take the train to Chippenham and the bus from there. The bus doesn’t run often, so check the timetable before you set off, and expect to take a taxi if you want to eat out somewhere outside the village in the evening.

See hotels in Castle Combe here.

If you’re only visiting, come early or late in the day. The car park can fill up early on summer days, at weekends and on bank holidays, and that’s when it pays to stay in the village or close by.

On the edge of the village is Castle Combe Circuit, a motor racing circuit built on a former Second World War airfield. If you’re looking for complete peace and quiet, it’s worth checking the circuit’s calendar before you book.

The downside is that Castle Combe is around 70 km as the crow flies from Chipping Campden, so you can’t see the northern Cotswolds from here without long drives. There are also very few places to stay in the village itself, so book well in advance, especially if you want to stay in the middle of the village rather than in one of the neighbouring villages.

Places to Stay in Castle Combe

The Manor House Hotel and Golf Club - best luxury hotel with a golf course

The Manor House is set in large grounds right by the village and has a five-star rating. The hotel has its own golf course, a tennis court, a gym and The Bybrook restaurant, so it suits a weekend when you’ll stay on site. Some guests mention that visitors from the village wander around the grounds.

One guest writes on Booking.com: “The staff at the Manor House really did everything to make my new fiancée’s and my stay absolutely amazing.”

See photos and book The Manor House Hotel and Golf Club here.

The Castle Inn - best choice in the middle of the village

The Castle Inn is in the middle of the village in a historic building with lots of original features. The inn has a restaurant and a bar, and you’re right by the market cross once the day-trippers have gone home. A few guests mention noise from the bar, so ask for a room away from it.

One guest writes on Booking.com: “Beautiful hotel with excellent staff and food. Highly recommended.”

See photos and book The Castle Inn here.

The Old House At Home - cheapest pick in the neighbouring village of Burton

The Old House At Home is in the neighbouring village of Burton, around 3.5 km north-west of Castle Combe, and has over 1,400 guest reviews with a rating of 9.0. There’s a bar and free parking, and dogs are welcome. You’ll need to drive into Castle Combe, and the car park at the inn is small.

One guest writes on Booking.com: “From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the staff and felt welcome.”

See photos and book The Old House At Home here.

Where should you avoid staying in the Cotswolds?

I wouldn’t stay in Bibury, even though the village, with the row of cottages known as Arlington Row, is one of the most famous sights in the Cotswolds. Bibury is very small, with few places to stay, and lots of visitors come during the day, so it works better as a stop on a day trip from Burford or Bourton.

Larger towns such as Cheltenham, Oxford and Swindon often have cheaper hotels, but you’ll be staying outside the villages themselves and face long drives every day. The same goes for the chain hotels by the motorways.

And I wouldn’t try to see both the northern and the southern Cotswolds from one base. Castle Combe and Chipping Campden are so far apart that you’re better off splitting your stay in two.

If it’s your first time in the Cotswolds, I’d stay in Bourton-on-the-Water or Stow-on-the-Wold and hire a car. If you’re coming by train, Moreton-in-Marsh is the easiest choice, and if you want to walk the Cotswold Way, Chipping Campden is the obvious place to start.

Broadway suits a luxury weekend, Burford a short trip from London or Oxford, and Castle Combe is for you if you want to combine village charm with Bath. If you’ve got a week, it’s a good idea to split your stay between the north and the south.

Lots of people combine the Cotswolds with a few days in London, and here you can see my pick of the best things to do in London. If you’d like to see more of the English countryside, I’ve also written guides to where to stay in the Lake District, where to stay in Cornwall and where to stay in York.
