The Cleveland Hotel London

Something for people who like to walk a lot, and then a bit more ;) This path, finished in 2005, allows you to explore London's bit more peaceful areas not in but around the Centre. A total of 78 miles or 125 km of routes through suburban areas, woodlands, parks and local high streets. Most enjoyable!

The Capital Ring is a 125 km (78 miles) long circular walking route in London. It is divided into 15 sections but it can be started at almost any point.

Summer is coming, the weather is surprisingly nice recent weeks, time to go to the sea. The usual place of choice for Londoners is Brighton. Nice old town, not far away, a large beach (although not sandy...), rich nightlife. When you are there do not forget to visit the pier, just be sure you go to the right one, because one of them is not exactly the safest to access.

Tak, brytyjczycy i ich mola. Tu mamy znakomity przykład, wybudowane w roku 1866 służyło zarówno urlopowiczom jak i mieszkańcom przez ponad sto lat. To jest jedyne molo w kraju, które zyskało tytuł …

Santander Cycles was the only self-hire bicycle rental scheme in London for quite a few years. Not any more though. The market is evolving as we speak and there are new players on the block worth consideration. We still think Santander would be better for daily commute but for occasional use the dockless schemes come in handy, depending on location as well. Have a look.

It seems that Christmas just finished and it is nearly Easter (maybe because the snow couple of weeks ago threw us back to Christmas mood?). Unsurprisingly, London gets busy with many ideas how to entertain the swarms of people who suddenly have a long weekend and seek some fun. There will be EggHunts all around the place and this particular one caught our eye:

If you go tickets there is an Easter event. Just do not dig to deep, you do not know where it might take you...

Happy Easter from The Team at The Cleveland!

An adult ball pit with one million balls, retro sweet cocktails and loads of nostalgic hedonism.

A perfect example of recycling a device which is becoming obsolete in this sad modern age :)

What is the future going to bring? A difficult question, always has been, open to a lot of speculation. Have a look at this exhibition to tickle your imagination and who knows, maybe you will predict something that will actually come true one day?

This is a very interesting website we came across recently. You can find affordable flights from many smaller airports (also around London). I want to try myself, must be a nice change from a commercial sardines-style aircraft. They also offer a Christmas bonus, so if you are still missing any presents... ;)

At this point we at The Cleveland would like to wish a very Merry Christmas to all with loads of snow and fierce snowball battles!

Wingly is a flight sharing platform. Find pilots or passengers for your trip.

Heathrow Airport is the busiest in Europe and 7th in the world. No surprise that we get so many interesting guest in our hotel from all around and also our befriended photographer can take many shots of planes landing just above his head :)

This it what happens when there is a large airport not far away. Especially if there is a road passing just next to the runway :)

Have you ever visited Oxford Street on a Boxing Day? I saw it once, it seemed like a big, demanding adventure and required a lot of courage to join, which I did not find it. I opted for a secure space in a form of an upper level of a double-decker bus.
This however might change next year, as the street might offer much more space for pedestrians, according to Mayor's plan. So, if you are up to a crazy shopping adventure, make sure to go to Oxford Street next Boxing Day!

We came across a list of viewing points in London. I have visited a few of them and they were worth it, so I am sure the ones I did not check would be enjoyable as well. The one place I would add would be Parliament Hill in Hampstead.
