Situated just northwest of central London, Watford is a great base for sightseeing in the English capital and exploring the greater London area. If you’re planning a trip to London, for either an extended holiday or a short weekend getaway, you may instinctively book a hotel in the city centre without giving your other options much thought. However, city centre hotels tend to be smaller, louder and significantly more expensive.
Additionally, city centre accommodation often has far fewer parking options, making it a tricky pit-stop for your UK road trip. However, if you choose to stay in Watford, you’ll have easy access to both the M1 and M25 motorways as well as several nearby business parks. If you want to spend a day in London without having to worry about parking, you can leave your car at the hotel, walk to Watford Junction and catch the Tube to Euston station.
