I can only give St John's Wood Tube station one star due to yet another service disruption…read moreyesterday at 7 PM. It is unacceptable to pass through the barriers, pay with an Oyster card, and only then be told that trains are not running. The staff saw us paying, but then called us while we were going down the stairs, and we had to argue to get a refund. The information service is extremely poor and often delayed. Considering how expensive the Tube is, travel should be reliable, but it is becoming more and more frustrating. I had an important appointment scheduled months in advance, and because of this disruption, I had to quickly change my plans and take a bus, still arriving late. While traveling by bus across London, there were ongoing roadworks with construction vehicles parked, causing terrible traffic. On top of that, inconsiderate drivers ignored traffic lights and blocked buses. The worst part is that there was not a single police vehicle in sight to manage the area--this chaos can only be described as a jungle. This is an unacceptable service for anyone with commitments who pays a high price to travel in London. Peter

Mind you, when you go there you will find that lots of people will end up attempting to copy the album cover (much in the same way that people all want to get photos of themselves holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa). Anyway, the station isn't all that bad, and there is even a Beatles souvenier store at the entrance. However, it is annoying that there doesn't happen to be shops nearby.

This is a very busy commuter station as well as catching people headed to the O2 arena. On the Jubilee, it is between North Greenwich and West Ham. On the DLR, East India is to the west and Royal Victoria (to Beckton) and West Silvertown (to Woolwich Arsenal) are to the east. It is in Travelcard Zone 3. Like most of the DLR, there is step free access throughout. There are also escalators and stairs for those so inclined to use them. The interchange is well signed with easy directions to get you from one mode of transport to the next.

The staff have been helpful when I've accidentally touched in before topping up my Oyster Card. There's also a tiny newsagent selling food, drinks, magazines & newspapers. Beware if it's early morning rush hour you may get a grumpy tube goer who pushes their way through to pay for their newspaper. I've been knocked into several times. The staff here have never been annoyed when I've given them a £20 note first thing in the morning for a bottle of water. There is a free withdrawal cash machine just inside the station. It has on occasion run out of money or £10 notes. There are 4 lifts taking you to & from the platform. The only issue I have with Hampstead Station is that early morning the coal/rubble trains go through so it doesn't have the freshest of air.

These overground stations really don't seem to have the same charm as the underground stations, but…read morethen again I suspect it more has to do with the overground being a rather new invention, and the stations are such were put up in a way that was practical and cheap. This station certainly feels like the case, and yeah, it is certainly a shame that they don't have the same charm as the older ones.

This is a lovely overground station right next to one of the sides of Hampstead Heath. There are…read morelots of little shops around it so if you arrive early for your train you can pop into then instead of standing on the platform. There's fresh groceries being sold outside that you can pick up on your way to the Heath/way home/way out. The station is always tidy. There's also a coffee kiosks on one of the platforms (to Stratford) in case you (as I did) enter 10 mins before your train is due and need your coffee fix. The trains are the overground which do run every 10 mins during peek times and 4 times every hour on other times.

The Travelodge is located conveniently, walking distance from the Fulham Broadway tube station and Chelsea FC. The rooms were in pretty good condition, but the hotel is located on a busy street so it could get loud at night, especially if there's construction going on nearby. I was able to check in at 10 AM the Saturday I arrived, although my designated early check-in was noon. The staff at the reception desk were all very friendly and polite. Sometimes you need to ring the bell to summon someone if they're busy somewhere else in the hotel. My company paid for a wifi voucher and the connection was pretty reliable. However the voucher only works on 1 device, so if you have more than one computer, tablet, and/or phone you'll need to get more than one wifi code. There were some cafés nearby, as well as a fish n chip shop and an Iceland supermarket, so it's easy to find things to eat. Sometime around my 2nd night, there was a slight urine smell that was coming from the (flushed) toilet in my room; maybe this was because I hadn't had my room cleaned after the 1st night since I was staying such a short amount of time, and it wasn't a huge deal, but something to look out for. There was hand soap and shower gel/shampoo provided; you'll need to bring your own conditioner and hairdryer if you use those. The 3rd floor, where I was staying, is the "Business Floor." Sometimes there was a lot of creaking and the doors made a lot of noise, like a plastic rustling sound or something similar, but for the most part everything seemed in good condition. Overall, a good-value stay in a convenient location with friendly staff.

The hotel restaurant POTUS Is also overpriced and the bar has a very limited and over-fussy cocktail menu. I would also say the gym badly uses it's limited space with too many oversized machines. But I felt a bit conned by the upgrade I basically had to take. When I arrived I was told I could upgrade my view by 70 GBP a night. I initially declined. And then I saw my original view which looked like a council estate from 1982. Obviously some views are going to be better than others and you should pay for a river view. But even a rear view from the hotel should be decent. The hotel has done nothing with this space and it's so ugly any guest staying here would be disappointed. You could easily landscape this patch of ground, add some exterior lights, repave the cracked concrete and make it look ten times better. This aspect of the hotel was very disappointing.

I think management should review such policy and encourage guests to do as they choose with food - this likely would interest more to eat at the hotel and not on the outside. They could even consider offering guests a discount to eat at their restaurant if they are staying overnight with them (considering that they are trying to get more people to eat at their establishment). Just an idea. Must also be a European thing- but they don't provide washcloths. I do not know what people usually bring to wash themselves but I'm so used to washcloths/face towels to wash your face and Boyd with. Not here- the smallest towel provided was the hand towel but we made it work. If you book- you won't be disappointed. Good hotel. And great location.
