To thrilling Tokyo
QWE WOULD like to book an affordable hotel in an interesting part of London for a celebratory weekend break next month. All suggestions gratefully received. Walter, by email
ATHERE are more than 700 hotels in the capital, so you’re not short of choice. I particularly like the London Bridge Hotel (londonbridgehotel. com), where rooms cost from £139 a night. Situated next to The Shard and Borough Market, it’s an easy walk to the Tower of London, St Paul’s and lots of other major sights.
QI HEAR that easyJet is flying this winter to La Palma in the Canary Islands. What does this island offer to holidaymakers? Bella, by email
ALA PALMA is an off-thebeaten-track place. From touring its South Americaninspired capital Santa Cruz to hiking and taking catamaran trips, there’s plenty to do. For details about flights, go to easyjet.com.
