Hi Dawn. Go to the V&A especially if you are interested in textiles and period embroidery. They have a study collection that can be seen at really close hold, behind glass. Unfortunately their elizabethan part of the main exhibition is closed at the moment, will probably be open again when you get there. If you are females only you can get a room at Queen Alexandra's house for 25£ a night, breakfast included. It is a college dorm room, with toilets in the hallway, but cheap and nice, and 10 minutes walk from the V&A ;-) Right next to the Royal Albert Hall. Hope you have a nice trip. Just came back from a week there friday. Tania

I'll probably only really have time to spend at one location, so I want to make it a good one, unless there are two quite close to each other. Tower of London? V&A? Portrait Gallery? Any suggestions? I'm also looking for a budget-oriented place to sleep, as the flight I am planning arrives at Midnight local time and we'll be knackered. Someplace quiet, clean and comfortable is all we need. We won't be in it long enough to want much more than a bed and plumbing.
