When picturing London, fantasies of Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and Hyde Park tend to capture most people’s minds. And of course, you want to see those landmarks — you’re in a world-class city after all. Although your chances of meeting the Royal Family are rather slim, take comfort knowing a stay at Peter the Orchid will provide an ere of nobility for your soul. A picturesque building where expectations are reality – feel like an heir to the throne as you rest in your expansive space. Designed with a marble aesthetic in the bathroom and extensive space in the kitchen, don’t feel guilty if a short stay extends through next month. And when you’re ready to traverse the heart of The Big Smoke, dazzling views are guaranteed, even if the weather doesn’t always agree. Just don’t forget that raincoat and charging cord.

Local guide
About Westminster
Wesminster is home to two of London's most famous landmarks: The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, both of which sit proudly on the river's edge. It is the centre of the country's political life, and so, perhaps unsurprisingly, it isn't London's hippest area - you'll be sharing the pavements with a mix of politicians and selfie-stick-wielding tourists. What it lacks in local colour or character, it makes up for in location - it's a great base for exploring nearby St James' s Park, Buckingham Palace, Mayfair, Trafalgar Square and beyond.
Explore the area
Local restaurants, cafes, museums, sites and activities, recommended by our community of hosts and travel experts
Indulge in Pasta at Osteria Tufo
One of North London’s local heroes serving a taste of Italy. Not your glitzy, shiny all bells whistling central London Italian in the slightest, this is a neighbourhood restaurant.
Walk past the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben
Yes, the most iconic landmark in all the Kingdom. Take the riverside path and see the Houses of Parliament, bearer of the clock tower and the famous bell, Big Ben.
Enjoy a Classic British Breakfast at Regency Cafe
This no-frills corner cafe in London is renowned for its delicious full English breakfasts and traditional British menu. With top-notch staff and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, it's a must-visit for food enthusiasts.
Go to a Concert at St John Smith Square
Formally a church, this now grand music hall has housed some of the best in classical music. The beautiful baroque architecture, fine dining and weekly shows come together to make a rich experience.
Immerse yourself in history at the Churchill War Rooms
During World War II Churchill lead the troops from a small warren of underground rooms which are now open to the public. Everything including his cigar lighter has been left in situ.
Visit the Guards Museum
Such an iconic figure in British culture very well deserves its own museum. The shop is a small paradise for collectors and admirers of war figurines.
Head to Millbank
Take a stroll along Millbank and you’ll get great views of London and some of its many landmarks. Features include Millbank Pier, the Tate Britain, and the Chelsea College of Art.
Enjoy a drink on the river at Tamesis Dock
Views to match any in London, but in the least pretentious setting. This river side barge bar is the perfect spot for a summer sundowner while watching Big Ben turn its lights on across the river.
Head to Market Hall Victoria for street food heaven
London's latest dining and drinking destination – two floors, eleven kitchens, a coffee shop, two bars and now, even a roof terrace to enjoy.
Discover the exhibitions at the Garden Museum
Set within the restored church of St Mary’s, burial place of the first great British gardener and plant-hunter, John Tradescant, this is historically significant, lush spot to visit.
Try seasonal British fare at the Garden Café
If you are visiting the Garden Museum you can't miss its café. Filled with light and made chic via Scandi-style interiors, the menu is made up of a daily-changing selection of seasonal dishes.
