Travelodge is actually one word, and you're lying about there being a nice one - they're all grim

At least it sounds like you know how to treat a lady!

Don't presume my hookers are ladies. You monster.

Yes 1 word I apologize.

If you stay make sure to check for discount codes, last one I used was wmitty2020 was good for 20%

For the same money (and possibly less actually) I'd be inclined to stay at The Langham, Claridges or The Savoy to be honest. I appreciate you don't get the view, but that can be achieved by going to the Shard for lunch or dinner.

Yeah me too, for a weekend away or staycation type thing it's kinda in the wrong location for something in that price range IMO, probs quite nice if staying in London for something work-related. I guess nice as a one-off because of the view as you mentioned.

I had a meal at the one in Vancouver if that helps?

The OP is taking her up the Shard.

If that's not love, I don't know what is.

Those who scheme a fancy surprise trip up the Shard are also those who scheme for a surprise trip up the Oxo Tower.

Ask @Psycho Sonny, he probably has shares in the penthouse there.

I went up the Shard on a beautiful clear day. The layer of filth hovering over the whole city is quite something.

An Oyster card is about £1000 these days alone :s

That's not a nice way to describe the locals going about their day...

I'd vote for going for a drink and staying somewhere cheaper. That's what I did in Hong Kong with the Ritz Carlton where I saw the very memorable view and had 2 amazing cocktails for £60.
