Are you looking to go to London, or just curious about the Residence Club? I think the Res. Club trade chances will be pretty "slim to none" for all of us, and since there are no other Marriott timeshares (yes, there are other brands which are OK) , we decided to utilize our points to stay at London Marriott's County Hall (twice now at CH) and also Grosvenor Sq. Hotel , and both were fabulous. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else now, since we had such a great experience, and both have such good locations. CH is best for a "first trip", since it's right there at Westminster bridge, on the Thames, and looking directly across the river to Big Ben. Couldn't get any better than that. Also within walking distance to Buckingham Palace, St. James Park, Westminster Abbey, and many, many other great London tourist locations like Trafalgar Sq., Picadilly Cir., etc. Also close to the train station, from which we took several out-trips to castles, palaces, towns, etc. Anyway, I didn't know the original intent of your question, but decided to put in my 2 cents' worth. Our kids will never forget looking out the window at Big Ben, and also hearing the chimes every hour. One could also just sit and stare at the boats all day long....and at night, Big Ben is all lit up and very beautiful. Our favorite trip, tho, was walking to Sherlock Holmes Pub, just across the bridge and down a few streets. (Our first trip, we were in England for 3 weeks total....second time, two weeks in Scotland and one back in London.) jme
