When is the best time to go to Riverside?

The best time to go to Riverside is during the late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are generally smaller. During late spring, the days are longer and the temperatures are mild, typically ranging from 15°C to 20°C. This is an excellent time for exploring the Riverside Botanical Gardens and enjoying boat trips along the River Thames without the peak summer heat. Many of the local markets and outdoor cafes are in full swing, offering a relaxed experience. Early autumn also offers comfortable weather, with temperatures often between 12°C and 18°C. The changing leaves provide a beautiful backdrop, particularly for walks along the riverbanks or through the historic town centre.

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

8/10 Good

"Stayed here for two nights with my husband and 17 year old son. We stayed in the triple room which is basically three single mattresses on a slightly raised frame with a hallway at the foot to the bathroom. It is VERY basic, the pictures online do reflect it accurately. To find the room was a quite a maze, it's a deceptively large hotel. You feel like you are underground as there are no windows in the whole place but actually we were on the 7th floor. When we arrived there were bags of garbage piled outside our room as well as a discarded suitcase which took about 24 hours to disappear. There are minimal staff onsite but they were helpful with the check in process on the tablet. There is no bottle filling station in the hotel (which would be a great addition!) but the tap water in the bathroom is potable. There are very few amenities (shampoo + body wash in the shower but no conditioner, one pillow/ mattress and unable to request extra, etc) but I guess you get what you're paying for. It was still $800+ in our local currency, so not what I would classify as super budget tbh, but I guess it was high time in London. Wouldn't rule out staying here again, especially if we are only using our room for sleep."

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for two nights the location is amazing first of all. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We had a family room and it was lovely so clean and tidy plenty of room and everything you needed iron / hair dryer/ kettle with teas and coffee. The only food we had there was the breakfast and that was amazing plenty to choose from. I would definitely stay again."

Hilton London Metropole

8/10 Good

"Walls are paper thin, we couldn’t sleep because of the tv from the next room. It was like we had our tv on all night. But the staff handled it very quickly, all the staff was really nice. Also our room looked nothing compared to the pictures online, it was small and didn’t even have a place to put our luggage (table, luggage rack…) nothing i had to put it in the floor. For me it was a little annoying because I have bad knees"
