Sofitel London Heathrow

10/10 Excellent

"We had an overnight stay and it was very pleasant and super convenient, because we just walked to our terminal next morning."

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

10/10 Excellent

"Located at an excellent location. All the famous site seeing places are within a few minutes walk...and you have a LOT of places to visit, so having a centrally located hotel meant that we could come back between visiting places and take a break and then re-start. The staff was courteous and polite. The rooms were spacious and clean. Bathrooms were also big and clean. Overall very satisfied with the hotel and would highly recommend it to people travelling with family."

Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel

8/10 Good

"まず何より立地が最高です。お部屋やシャワー室、すべて清潔でした。チェックイン時に部屋の入り方などの説明がなかったため、私含め数人が困っていました。共有のシャワー室の水圧は弱かったですが、女性用のシャワー室の水圧は問題なく良かったです。スタッフが常に掃除をして清潔を保っています。とてもおすすめです！"

Frequently asked questions

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.
