The Property — Three Falcons
Three Falcons sits in a converted Victorian townhouse on a quiet Marylebone street. The lobby feels like a well-kept private library: dark wood panelling, a working fireplace, and deep armchairs that invite you to sit with a newspaper. It suits the traveller who wants quiet, understated comfort within walking distance of Regent’s Park and Baker Street — no fuss, no gimmicks.
Chronicles of London
London started as a Roman settlement called Londinium around AD 50, a trading port on the Thames. The medieval city grew around the Tower and St Paul’s, then rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1666 with Wren’s churches. The 19th century brought grand terraces, parks and the world’s first underground railway. Today it remains a global finance and culture hub, defined by layered streets where Georgian terraces stand next to glass skyscrapers, and a pub from 1700 still serves pints.

May, June and September: longest daylight hours, reliably warm without July-August crowds, and gardens in full bloom.
Peak / festival surge
August is peak tourist season (school holidays) plus major events like Notting Hill Carnival. Hotel prices spike 30-40% over averages. Christmas markets and New Year’s Eve in December also push rates high in central London.
Budget shoulder season
April and October offer good weather with lower rates. Rain is still likely but queues shrink. November (before December) can also bring discounts.
Weather & packing
London’s climate is mild but changeable—you can get four seasons in a day, especially in June. Pack a light waterproof jacket and an extra layer, even if the morning looks sunny.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jun 2026Before you check in to Three Falcons, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a middle floor (3rd to 5th) facing the rear courtyard. These tend to be quieter and have decent natural light without the street noise.
Rooms to avoid
Steer clear of rooms near the lift shaft, service elevator, or directly above the bar/restaurant. In many London 4-star hotels, these suffer from late-night noise and early-morning clatter.
Best views
If available, request a room facing a garden or inner courtyard — you get a calmer outlook and less traffic rumble. City views are often obstructed by neighbouring buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 to 6 are typically the quietest in a standard 7-storey hotel — far enough from the lobby and street, but not adjacent to roof plant machinery.
🔊 Noise notes
London hotels with double glazing still let in noise when windows are open. Ask for a room away from main roads and delivery bays. Check if the hotel has a 'quiet hours' policy.
Insider tips
1. Book direct with the hotel and mention you're after a quiet room on a high floor — they'll often prioritise your request over an OTA booking. 2. If you're a light sleeper, ask about earplugs or a white noise machine at check-in; many 4-star London hotels now offer them.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
