Additional Details
Travel
U.S. citizens traveling to London for short visits (under 6 months) now need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), applied for via the UK government website/app before travel. The ETA costs £16 and expires after 2 years.
To apply and see more details or check if your country’s passport requires an ETA, please visit their website.
TIP: At the airport, you will use electronic gates for passport control. These can be finicky, but we find that removing hats and eye glasses while the photo is taken ensures a quick and smooth process.
Black cars or Ubers/Lyfts are available after baggage claim. However, if you plan to stay at The Ned, you may opt to use the Elizabeth Line to travel into London. This offers a low-cost, convenient, and oftentimes faster commute into the city.
Getting Around
The Ned is conveniently located centrally in London with Bank station just steps away from the hotel. Bank station has access to the Northern, Central, Waterloo, and TLR trains, which provides quick and easy access to explore great neighborhoods in London.
TIP: Alternative to purchasing an Oyster card, you can use your contactless card or set up your Apple Pay wallet on your phone to pay-as-you-go between the stations.
See more details here.
Black cabs are available outside of The Ned or car services such as Uber/Lyft are additional transport options.

Our Favorites
If you plan to spend time in London before or after the wedding, we have curated a short list of our favorite neighborhoods and spots in London. Looking for something specific? Reach out to us directly and we’re happy to share our recommendations!
Hampstead
North London
Hampstead offers one of London’s best green escapes, with charming streets, cozy pubs, and beautiful views. This is where Fredrik and I stay during our visits, and we love this area for its peaceful and village-like charm. Walking the Heath is a must, especially on a sunny day.
Our Suggestions:
The Holly Bush (classic cozy pub tucked away behind the high street), Wells Tavern (modern gastropub), Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House (large park with a stately home from the 17th century).
King’s Cross
North London
Once industrial and now redeveloped, King’s Cross is great for shopping, architecture, and casual exploring. Fredrik and I will often come here for lunch and shopping!
Our Suggestions:
Dishoom (tasty Indian restaurant – must try Ruby Chicken, Black Daal, Naan Rolls), Coal Drops Yard (shops and dining), Lina Stores (Italian pasta and casual meals).
Shoreditch
East London
Creative and energetic, Shoreditch is known for street art, trendy shopping, and a buzzing food scene. It’s a great area to explore for unique finds and modern London energy, whether you’re after brunch, coffee, or casual dinner.
Our Suggestions:
Shoreditch (wandering and exploring), BRAT (Basque-inspired wood-fired seafood), Jolene Coffee (excellent coffee and pastries).
South Bank
South London
Cultural and scenic, the South Bank is perfect for an art-focused day paired with a riverside walk. The area is easy to explore on foot, with world-class galleries and iconic views of the Thames.
Our Suggestions:
Tate Modern (modern art museum), Hayward Gallery (bold contemporary exhibitions), Gagosian Gallery (renowned contemporary art).
Soho
Central London
Soho is lively, central, and full of great food, shopping, and nightlife. It’s easy to wander the streets, enjoy a coffee or meal, and explore boutiques, all within walking distance of Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus. This is a perfect neighborhood for a fun, energetic afternoon in London.
Our Suggestions:
Bao Soho (fluffy steamed buns and small plates), Kiln (bold Thai flavors), Sabor (Spanish tapas and wood-fired dishes), Koya (comforting Japanese udon), Soho (for wandering and shopping).
Marylebone
Central London
Charming and relaxed, Marylebone feels like a neighborhood rather than a tourist zone. Spend a slower-paced day strolling the streets, shopping, or stopping for lunch or coffee. Its mix of local charm and beautiful architecture makes it one of London’s coziest areas.
Our Suggestions: Ottolenghi (bright, vegetable-forward Middle Eastern dishes), Layla Bakery (fresh bread and pastries), Marylebone (exploring streets and local shops), Daunt Books (stunning independent bookstore).
Mayfair / Hyde Park
West-Central London
Polished and elegant, Mayfair is ideal for refined shopping, beautiful streets, and classic London charm. It’s perfect for a leisurely walk or afternoon of browsing high-end boutiques, and it sits right next to Hyde Park if you want to relax outdoors.
Our Suggestions:
Mayfair (strolling and shopping), Mount Street (boutiques and cafés), Dover Street Market (cutting-edge designer shopping), Sloane Square (refined shops and cafés), Hyde Park (walking, biking, or relaxing).
Marylebone
Central London
Charming and relaxed, Marylebone feels like a neighborhood rather than a tourist zone. Spend a slower-paced day strolling the streets, shopping, or stopping for lunch or coffee. Its mix of local charm and beautiful architecture makes it one of London’s coziest areas.
Our Suggestions:
Ottolenghi (bright, vegetable-forward Middle Eastern dishes), Layla Bakery (fresh bread and pastries), Marylebone (exploring streets and local shops), Daunt Books (stunning independent bookstore).
