It’s a 15-minute stroll from the London Eye, but the walk is worth it to stay at one of London’s best guesthouses, with its own blue plaque, no less, marking it as a historic home. This was where Captain Bligh, of Bounty fame, came to lick his wounds after the famous mutiny, and it remains a haven today, with five cosy rooms/suites, each with its own kitchenette. The top-floor Film Studio offers views of the London Eye.
