Grange Langham Court Hotel

With padded headboards, draped curtains and lavish linens, these rooms carry a definite air of luxury even though you’re more likely to bump into overnighting BBC staff than celebs being put up at the more famous Langham. But the striking Grange Langham Court is almost as close to the BBC TV Centre as its more famous namesake, and double rooms start at less than £100, so it’s perfect for a weekend of shopping and sightseeing. The 56 modern, airy rooms feature free Wi-Fi, luxury marble and granite bathrooms, there’s a stylish French brasserie, and the striking black and white exterior make it very easy to find.
