Tune Hotels Reveals London’s Best Value Views

(Source: Internet)

There’s no questioning that London has breath-taking scenery – and what better way to admire the city than from a great height? Research from the Tune Hotels group, which has five well-established hotels in the capital, as well as Edinburgh, Newcastle and Liverpool, reveals that soaring views don’t need to come with a high price tag and, to show how, the company has developed the definitive guide to hacking the London landscape, revealing the best panorama for your pound.

The research focuses on buildings accessible to the public, including parks, restaurants and London landmarks. Tune Hotels has calculated the most cost-effective views by dividing the height you can access by the price to get to this point.

Topping the list for great value views is the Walkie Talkie’s Sky Garden, North London’s famed Parliament Hill and Primrose Hill, as well as the newly opened 10th floor of the Tate Modern. These scenic views are yours for a grand total of 0p per metre – astounding value in a city famed for its expense.

It may come as a surprise that if you’re paying for a view, the most budget-friendly option is the 90m high Emirates Air Line across the Thames, which costs just 5p per metre – and can even be paid for on an Oyster card. If you have a little more energy, climbing 62 metres (or 311 steps) to the top of Monument is similarly great value – and again, just 5p per metre.

Coq de l’Argent, renowned for its rooftop views, costs a vertigo-inducing 94p per metre, whilst Southbank’s OXO Tower is 30p. For a stratospheric experience that’s still budget-friendly, Heron Tower’s Duck and Waffle is a budget-friendly 9.5p per metre above ground.

Tune Hotels appeal to budget conscious, savvy travellers with its pay-for-what-you-need concept, meaning you get a great night’s sleep in central locations at a fantastic price. All of its hotels feature space efficient, streamlined rooms focusing on high quality basics: five-star Hypnos beds with 250 thread count duvets and en suite bathrooms with high-pressure power showers.
