If you're one that likes to relive the past, the Willett Hotel sure hasn't changed much over the years. Its old Victorian red and white facade is strikingly different from the white restored townhouses occupied by most bed & breakfasts in central London. Inside, you'll get retro wood-panelled reception desk, and 19 rooms with floral drapes, Victorian-styled furniture and chandeliers. There are no elevators either. Breakfast at the Willett Hotel is how it used to be, in a heavily wall-papered breakfast room where ancient paintings hang in gilded frames. When you've eaten your fill, head out to the tube from nearby Sloane Square station. Otherwise, amble around and browse the shops at King's Road or explore the lovely Chelsea neighbourhood, Pimlico antique shops or Sloane Square Royal Court Theatre.
