Margo; Lynn and I really enjoyed The Goring in London. The room was very nice and the food/service was impecable. We did it on a Regent post-cruise package from Dover. At first it seemed expensive, but it was quite reasonable when all things were considered. We had private transport and a tour on the way to and in London with lunch( Westminster Abbey and a river cruise included ), 2 nights at the Goring with full breakfast, private transport to/from the theater with our pick of shows ( we took Mama Mia ), and private transport to Gatwick. The Goring was one of the best hotels we've stayed in and we normally go 5 star.
