the Strand Palace is in a perfect location to walk or take the bus or tube. The only issue we had is that we declined daily cleaning but asked to have it done on day four. when we came back only our bed was made in the same sheets, we were told they would change the bedding. no fresh towels or top up of water or coffee. We stayed one week. otherwise highly recommended for ability to walk everywhere, breakfast was great, and the staff very pleasant.
