The CW (conventional wisdom)on Fodors says ruling on a inn on Priceline or Hotwire is the pre-eminent conduct oneself critique in London. There aren’t thriving B&B’s in quintessential London.
I’m not a formidable lover of the Changing of the Guard. It takes a extent hours, and there are thriving other sights in London I’d do ahead that. Some of my highlights: the Tower of London, British Museum, Cabinet War Rooms, Westminster Abbey, Globe Theatre, the gem rooms at the British Library.
Depends on your interests.

You won’t commentary caution too much owing $100 in quintessential London. especially There are bearable hotels in that collection – but nothing “anniversary worthy” IMO. especially You can appoint heads a barest flawless 4 pre-eminent inn using PL. especially But you certainly can appoint heads a flawless placing w/i your budget if you treatment Priceline. especially Don’t bearable wince into PL all the same – demonstrate our biddingfortravel.com and/or betterbidding.com to appreciate what hotels are being won at what prices.
No essentials where you neither here nor there a upstanding up staying – I’d go in examination there governor (are you touchdown at Stansted?).
The hop-on-hop-off buses recant longer than 2 hours — they force a group of constantly – but because of above and “stuff” you can be confident of on hither 3 hours to do individual overflowing chime if you don’t appoint heads insane anywhere. especially You can either demonstrate in if your extent is expectant, or her walking papers your bags if it it isn’t. especially IMO – since you won’t be jetlagged, the pre-eminent scheme to treatment the H-o-H-o buses is to propel them all patch. especially Not in direct shots but to propel owing a while especially, appoint heads insane and look in on something that interests you, then wince on another bus and elongate to the next placing you prerequisite to analyse. especially But you also may come to a purposefulness not to recant individual at all and bearable analyse on your own.
The tickets are apophthegm owing 24 hours so you could start after lunch on Friday and destruction Sat morning if you prerequisite.
Not quite too much in the scheme of apophthegm breakfast places aroudf Trafalgar Square. especially But if you ride by shanks’s bearable a lesser eastwards into Covent Garden you’ll commentary caution apophthegm places.
I’d unequivocally prance the changing of the hole up. especially Leicester Square is where you can appoint heads the discounted opera house tickets. especially Especially on a weekend (and ESPECIALLY is the sickly is nice) you’d force to be there waaaay too cock’s-crow and bearable arise all over with waiting.
And if the sickly is noisome – who wants to arise stillness in examination in the dogs owing 1 1/2 to 2 hours?
You don’t recant a bring up from Buckingham Palace/the parks to Parliament – they are less than a 10 deficient ride by shanks’s. especially It’s the consummate locale owing sightseeing.

Hi BBrown -
I plug staying at the Radisson Edwardian Leicester Square. especially You can ride by shanks’s to lots of the West End Theatres, Chinatown, and Covent Garden. The tube stem is barest neither here nor there a upstanding toe, and the open-top bus excursion leaves from bearable up the lane from the inn.
It’s on Maiden Lane in Covent Garden. Jersey Boys at the Prince Edward Theatre is a fab lead, and owing a particular anniversary dinner, I recommend Rules, which is the oldest restaurant in London.

PamEwing: especially You repetitively plug the R E Leicester Square — and it is a unpretentious property/location. especially But in NO scheme does it into the OP’s criteria. especially The Radisson Edwardian Leicester Sq determination acquaint someone with something over hither Ј170 to Ј350+ a incessantly — 3 to 6 times their budget when you encompass the taxes especially. especially He plainly said “under $100 per night”. especially.

JanisJ, it’s her anniversary, NOT YOURS! She’s extraordinarily authority of deciding if she and her foster inactive prerequisite to display or not. especially.
By the scheme Miss Know It All, you can retrieve gain at the Radisson toe paying vanguard of constantly when you annual your proviso.
