The East Dulwich based photographer was excellent and being the parent of a young child themselves had a real way of getting the most from my daughter.

I really liked Hairy Goat's photography walking tour of The City area in London (the "mystery…read moretour"). It was great for street photography (Monday during lunch hour in the financial district) and city scape / architectural photography). My guide, Steven - a professional photography - was very knowledgeable about the history of the City and an engaging person generally. He took us to really cool hidden gems through alleys that one wouldn't expect to lead anywhere - Charles Dicken's favorite pub, Shakespeare's church, a garden courtyard with office workers eating lunch in the sun while a guy practiced advanced yoga on the lawn, the shell of a church bombed out in WWII. There is so much to see in The City that I would definitely take this tour again.

We rented 2 cameras with 1 camera light from You Do the Shoot for our Wedding in December and they…read moresent us 2 cameras, 1 camera light, 2 tripods, 6 batteries, and very detailed instructions on how best to use the cameras and get the perfect video for our day. The cameras were great, we only needed 3 batteries for the whole day and we got hours of footage which You Do the Shoot provided to us. We also paid for YDTS to edit the footage to a 'best bits' video. The finished product was outstanding and will be treasured forever! We were provided with 6 copies of this on DVD, a couple which didn't work properly so YDTS sent us another 4 extra. The sound of the speeches and ceremony wasn't great on the raw footage but YDTS worked their magic and managed to make the speeches and ceremony clear - so we can watch this over and over as many times as we want. Would definitely use YDTS again (unlikely I'll have to!) and recommend them to all my friends.

Our kids warmed up to Monika immediately! I can't say enough about her friendliness and her eye for the camera. We not only have wonderful memories of London now but we also now have priceless photos of our family that we will be able to look at forever and ever. I am recommending her to everyone I know and you will as well! :-)

Overview: An excellent business hotel in the heart of London's financial district. The interior is…read morebeautiful and classy. This hotel was once a bank, and the conversion to a 74 room hotel was well executed. On the negative side, the sound insulation between rooms is inadequate, and the HVAC system is not equipped from very hot weather. Although not without flaws, Threadneedles impressed me overall. Arrival: Friendly and helpful doorman Check-in: Efficient and friendly check-in. Acknowledged my Marriott status. Room (314): Nice king room with all the usual appliances including Nespresso coffee maker, tea kettle, mini-refrigerator, iron, TV, etc. Bed: Good king bed, decent linens. Sleep quality: overall good but the walls are paper thin. I was fortunate that the neighboring rooms did not have noisy occupants at night. But in the morning, I could clearly hear a parent in the adjoining room lecturing his young daughter. Bathroom: Spacious bathroom with excellent tub. Housekeeping: excellent housekeeping service and turn down service. Service:Overall excellent service HVAC: I visited during a record setting heat wave in London, and the HVAC system in the room was completely inadequate. The room was hot the whole time. Fortunately, staff brought me a fan, the fan and my extreme fatigue were the only factors that allowed me to sleep the first night. Seriously consider another hotel of London is experiencing a heat wave. Tips: (1) I was able to take the train from Heathrow (had to change to a second train at Paddington), and it was an easy walk from the train station to the hotel even with a large suitcase. (2) There's a great pub 1 block away called The Counting House. (3) Threadneedles is in the heart of the financial district. Many pubs and restaurants in the area are not open on the weekend.

This was, hands-down, the single most beautiful hotel that I have ever stayed in. The staff was…read moreexceptional. Everything about the hotel was beyond first class. Upon walking in, you are greeted and in awe of the beautiful sitting area with its amazing stained glass dome. I found myself in awe each time I walked through. The rooms are also exceptional. Very tastefully decorated and not over the top, as some other higher-end hotels seem to be, lately. I also found that the cleaning service and turn-down service were magical. I don't know how they seemed to know when I had left my room, but upon my return it was always clean, and at night the turn-down service was a lovely surprise to find a small mint and a linen mist on my pillow. Now let's talk about something which is an often-overlooked feature of a hotel stay: the breakfast. This is typically a throwaway perk that anyone who travels a bit understands. At best, it's a spread of cereals and maybe a bagel or two. Most of the time it's served in a crappy lobby with coffee that has been sitting there for hours and servers who want to be anywhere else but there.  It usually screams, "Eat fast.  Please leave." Not here. Oh no. Even the breakfast is next level here. Sure, it contained all the normal things you would expect, such as bagels, toast, and cereal, but then they took it to the next level with some beautiful doughnuts, sliced meats and some cheese, yogurt with all the toppings you could want, and a beautiful selection of sliced fruit. However, what really made the breakfast experience phenomenal were the people. Specifically, Amesh, Epon, and Mohin. Each morning when I would walk through the doors, I would be greeted, and they would immediately take a coffee or tea order to go make it themselves. They were also incredibly friendly and attentive. I found their smiles infectious and a great way to start the day. This type of attitude was prevalent amongst all the staff.  They were simply the friendliest people of my day, and that really meant a lot when you are thousands of miles from home, in a city you don't know, by yourself.  Thank you!
