When is the best time to go to Riverside?

The best time to go to Riverside is during the late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are generally smaller. During late spring, the days are longer and the temperatures are mild, typically ranging from 15°C to 20°C. This is an excellent time for exploring the Riverside Botanical Gardens and enjoying boat trips along the River Thames without the peak summer heat. Many of the local markets and outdoor cafes are in full swing, offering a relaxed experience. Early autumn also offers comfortable weather, with temperatures often between 12°C and 18°C. The changing leaves provide a beautiful backdrop, particularly for walks along the riverbanks or through the historic town centre.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Riverside hotel for you.

Top Riverside Hotel Reviews

Park Plaza London Riverbank

8/10 Good

"first we're satisfied then we called for help. The sink was not working right also the shower room water was flowing out of the base. At least help came quickly asap. we love the hotel but it needs updated more"

Royal Garden Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was clean. Daily housekeeping, turndown service and free water. Full gym with squad racks and dumbbells. Helpful staff to bring you shaving kit, dental kit, etc. HMDI plugin requires help from staff. Great location! Not exactly sure what VIP gets you. Normally, I get a meal discount voucher or a bottle of free champagne but I didn’t receive of these from this hotel."

Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay at the Riu Westminster. The location was ideal for us - walking distance to Westminster Abbey and plenty of other sites. Cab rides were generally well-priced (we used Freenow, London's Lyft), and there were many train and bus options available. The only thing to be sure you're aware of is the general tightness of the rooms - they are small. We were in a standard Queen. If you are staying one night, or really don't need a lot of space, this is doable and comes at a great price. We stayed 7 nights and absolutely wished we had more space - to store items (there is one close with only two very small draws and one shelf inside), to sit (there are two chairs - a desk chair and a bigger lounger, but no couch or bench), or to do morning yoga. There was simply not enough room. The configuration is a little awkward, as you enter into the sink/bathroom area which can be divided by a pocket door, but does not have ventilation on that side. So, when the pocket door is closed, you're not feeling the AC or breathing easily on that side of the room. We also could not master how to get light on one side and not the other. All of this said, we would stay again. We just wanted to be helpful to future travelers. It's a lovely, well-run hotel. Breakfast was great, and the restaurant was open until midnight. Thank, Riu!"
