Editor’s note: This is a guest post from one of our UK readers with tips for Las Vegans heading to London this year.
Whatever your reason for visiting London this year, the Travelodge Tower Bridge hotel is located in one of the best spots for links to the Olympic Stadium, tourism and business.
2012 is set to be the very best year for London city. Even the least patriotic people in the country are feeling a pinch of pride this year as we all celebrate our Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and host the London 2012 Olympics.
When September hits and summer comes to a close, it only seems fitting to remember the year’s events with a free festival which aims to bring the community and the country together.
The Thames Festival (8-9 September) has a varied programme with events running at points along, and upon, London’s famous river.
From night carnivals and concerts to clay pot firing and an impressive fireworks finale, The Thames Festival is one of the best complimentary celebrations of its kind.
Children are welcome, meaning that this is an ideal time to spend a weekend away with the tots and teens in the centre. Following the hustle and bustle of the Olympics, bringing the children into the city to mark 2012 couldn’t be better timed.
Youngsters will love Blue Ribbon Village, the child friendly riverbank environmental zone in Potters Fields Park.
A Thames Festival simply wouldn’t be complete without some watersports action. Pursuits include barge driving races and historical trips on the ‘Lady Daphne’.
While in the area be sure to visit London landmarks such as Big Ben, the Tower of London, St. Paul’s Cathedral and Westminster. All are within walking distance of your Travelodge Tower Bridge hotel.
Those with families might like to get a little more adventurous and wander to attractions such as the SEA LIFE London Aquarium, London Eye and the horrific London Dungeons.
Don’t delay and book your Travelodge Tower Bridge hotel to be right on the Thames for this unforgettable end of summer festival.
