Great Shopping in Piccadilly

Advantages: Elegant shops. Great book stores.
Disadvantages: Busy

...Piccadilly has always been one of my favourite streets in London and now I think its a great place for shopping. Starting off from Green Park tube station and working your way to Piccadilly Circus you will see Royal Doulton and Waterford Wedgwood ,both great places for wonderful bone china and crystal, proceed further and you will come across Fortnum & Mason.Located at No 181 Piccadilly F & N oozes elegance and style and even before you enter,take a peep at the very distinctive facade and particularly the mechanical clock above the entrance. Once inside the place soak up the atmosphere of luxury. Check out the incredible food hall. There's also three restaurants and a Salmon and Champagne Bar if you are in the money and want to pamper your palate. You can also visit Hatchards,another great shop and a bit further down at 203-206 is...

Review of Piccadilly (London)

Best Western Hotel Piccadilly Rome

Advantages: Clean, friendly, good location, good value
Disadvantages: None - perhaps not luxurious enough for some

...suitcase back together :( they have plenty of good recommendations for restaurants etc. and provided us with a map and lots of info regarding travel etc. when we arrived, which was most helpful! The location is great especially considering the price - we actually booked using airmiles, which you can do on the airmiles website - it is only a few hundred metres from a metro stop that goes across the city, and directly outside the door is one of the main bus routes that goes through some of the popular parts of the city (bus 87). We found it very easy to get to any part of the city quickly from there. Another point to add is that it is very easy to get to from Rome Campiano airport which most of the lowcost airlines use. Whilst being 15km away, you take the COTRAL bus for 1 Euro to Metro station Anagnina, and then the metro for 1Euro to San...

Review of Hotel Piccadilly, Rome

Little piece of land in a city centre

Advantages: Free
Disadvantages: Not as garden like as you expect with the name!

...I?ve lived in Manchester all my life and have seen it change in many ways over the years - probably one of the much needed changes in more recent years was the refurbishment of the Piccadilly gardens area. I say refurbishment but, really it is more like a ?makeover?! Where are Piccadilly gardens? It is located in Manchester city centre - slap bang next to the main bus stop area and within a few minutes walk of Piccadilly train station. The gardens are right across from Market street which is one of the main shopping streets in the city centre which leads to the Arndale and also to the famous King Street. What kind of garden is it? Of course what may be confusing to visitors to the city is that they are expecting an actual garden within a city where you see flowers, trees and the usual like of a garden! What I...

Review of Piccadilly Gardens

Not a circus or train station in site

Advantages: A chance to buy great garden stuff and also to help a great project
Disadvantages: None

Elegance in Piccadilly

Advantages: Home away from home
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Athenaeum Hotel & Apartments 116 Piccadilly London W1J 7BJ 5-Stars The hotel is a small boutique hotel located along London's famous Piccadilly, a short walk from both Green Park and Hyde Park Corner tube stations, making the hotel easily amenable. It is located across from Green Park itself, with the Sheraton Park Lane Hotel located next door, and the Hard Rock Café a near neighbour. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Description & Bedrooms: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The 111 guestrooms and 12 luxurious suites manage to somehow combine traditional English elegance with 21st century modernism and technology. Many of the bedrooms have a stunning view overlooking Green Park, which creates a feeling of tranquillity in the heart of London. It's amazing when a hotel manages to transcend a much more tranquil setting than the busyness...

Review of Athenaeum Hotel & Apartments, London

The cost of high living

Advantages: Great location, good value if discounted
Disadvantages: Wheelchair access debatable, slow service

...I had always thought of the Jarvis chain of hotels as something quite expensive and therefore had never really considered them as an option for city breaks. I usually manage to find something cheap but reasonable and prefer to spend money on eating out while away than on a posh hotel anyway. Two weeks ago, however, we decided at short notice to spend a couple of days in Manchester, a city I don't often get to. To cut along story short, the combination of expense, short notice and the lack of vacant rooms across the city left us with the option of the Jarvis Piccadilly. The hotel's website listed double rooms at £95 down from £129, but by booking through a discounted rooms website we got the room for £50.00 including breakfast. The hotel is ideally situated for a short stay in Manchester; five minutes walk from Piccadilly Station...

Apple iPod Shuffle 1GB

Advantages: Tiny and low cost
Disadvantages: Low memory

...The new shuffle is tiny! It\'s neat design means you can take it literally anywhere. Not knowing what tune will come next means you never get bored of a playlist. This little gadget is really tough and durable and not having a screen to scratch is a true bonus. With different colours to choose from, anyone can own an iPod shuffle and match their outfit. At these prices, you could quite easily have one for each occassion. The gym, in the car, on the bike, even at work as it\'s so small. 1GB of memory can store stacks of music and ensure you\'re not listening to the same track twice. If you\'re still stuck with a discman or god-forbid a walkman, leap into the 21st century with digital quality music for the price of a few CDs....

LAX Staff

Advantages: Excellent facilities especially studio classes, comparable prices to other west end gyms.
Disadvantages: You are treated as £ signs by the unhelpful disinterested staff.

...is £56 a month) · In October the special deal is that if you use the gym twice weekly for the first two months you get one month free (effectively wiping out the joining fee). So what do you get for this stupendous sum of money? (£621 over a year - I feel quite faint). LA Fitness Piccadilly branch is situated on Lower Regent Street, a minute's walk from Piccadilly Circus. You enter the gym at street level, but it is actually underground. For my £51 a month I get the following: 1. A "free" LA Fitness backpack (which I feel a bit naf carrying) containing a tiny weeny towel, drink bottle, padlock for locker, headphones and wet bag. 2. A "free" consultation with a personal trainer who will provide you with a programme fitted to your personal needs. 3. A "free" 15 minute appointment with the in house physiotherapist. 4. Changing...

Ipod shuffle 1GB

Advantages: Easy to use with simple menus
Disadvantages: Perhaps not eneough storage for some

...I was brought one of these ipod shuffle, 1 gb for Christmas. Ｉhave previously owned an ipod nano and have to say that I much prefer the shuffle, I have found it much more easy to use and more easy to attach to my clothing whilst using it in the gym. The battery life lasts ages, at least 7 hours and can be charged up by a wide variety of methods so its very easy to do so whatever the circumstances. It holds approximately 240 songs which is adequate for my needs, and itunes makes it very easy to chop and change the tracks I want on there quickly by connecting to the computer by a usb cable. All in all I would very highly recommend the ipod shuffle, there is the added bonus of being able to choose the colour you want. Ｈｏｗｅｖｅｒ　ｔ 5352...
