There is many a London hotel - London restaurant to choose from in The City or outlying area. Many of the hotels are very extravagant or at least seem so.

One of things to be aware of is that they call a bathroom a water closet and in many places this has a very literal meaning. You will enjoy the chance to partake of a custom that is very English when you go to a restaurant for tea.
