lodging
ramada encore london west
, moderate, 011-44-870-066-7123. we applaud the year-old encore (sorry, we couldn't resist) for its totally modern styling, above-average appointments, and pocketbook­-friendly prices. and while it's not right in town, it's about a five-minute walk to the tube.

the sanctuary house hotel, moderate, 011-44-207-799-4044. it may not be the fanciest hotel in london, but it may be the best ­situated. plopped between westminster abbey and st. james park, and convenient to parliament, buckingham palace, the mall, and the west end, to name a few, sanctuary house is an ideal, well, sanctuary, whether your visit is for business or for pleasure.
