Have cancelled it with no charge. Phew!!

Well done, you are now officially not so stupid after all !

Have you found an alternative ? If not, then checking out or posting in our LONDON Q&As topic may provide you with some options.

Thanks David, will have a look. Possibly go back to the Corus on Hyde Park if no better offer.

Hi Anne, glad you got to cancel for free! Try http://www.hoteldoorman.com/ they're quite good for deals. I've used them a few times and recently got the brand new Park Plaza Westminster Bridge much cheaper than booking direct - gorgeous hotel

Hello Marcus, thanks for the tip. I've actually decided to abandon London for the time being. Rhodes in October though. How is your Mum?

Mum is much better thanks. Still on some medication but virtually back to normal and without the return to hospital they anticipated so that's good. All booked for next May though she's wishing she'd agreed to come in September now so she must be feeling good

When are you out in October? I'm back to Lindos for 2 weeks in September and then again for friends wedding on 10th October. They're getting married in the village church though the reception is in Rhodes Town - no idea where in town though. They wanted somewhere with enough space in and outdoors with the weather being a bit more unpredictable and were struggling in Lindos with over 300 guests!

Wow, that's a lot of guests.I go back on the 13th. My son is coming for one week with me so I've booked Alexia. My second week will be out at Kalithea/Koskinou (between the 2!). Glad to hear that your Mum is so much better.
