Travel note
Getting to London
Flying in? Heathrow is the closest major airport. The Heathrow Express runs to Paddington, and the Elizabeth line and Piccadilly line go straight into central London. From Gatwick, the Gatwick Express runs to Victoria.
Coming by train from the continent? Eurostar arrives at St Pancras International.
Getting around: London’s Tube, buses and trains all accept contactless cards and phones, so there’s no need to buy a ticket. The church is near Knightsbridge station and Home House is near Marble Arch, and black cabs and Uber are easy to find for the trip between them.
Treat yourself
Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill
30 Portman Square, London W1H 7BH
Right on Portman Square, just steps from Home House, so you can simply stroll back after the party. The most upscale of our three picks.
Mid-range
The Cumberland
Great Cumberland Place, London W1H 7DL
A big, comfortable hotel right by Marble Arch, about a 5-minute walk from Home House, with Hyde Park and Oxford Street on the doorstep. Good value for such a central spot.
Budget-friendly
hub by Premier Inn London Marylebone
Old Marylebone Road, London NW1 5DZ
Smart, compact modern rooms at a great price. It’s about a 15-minute walk (or a short cab ride) from Home House, and a 5-minute walk from Edgware Road station.
