    Terrible horrendous wedding venue…read more Recently attended a family friend wedding Mic is broken, they make false promises to get your money Sound system is cheap and sounds blurry You have to use your phone to connect, laptops dont work ever Toilets are tiny, next to kitchen in same corridor No equipment actually works Broken plastered walls, cheap flooring on stage, looks mangled and a trip hazard. Food service is 3-4 hours long and slow Manager is a total ghost and once you have paid, they do not care

    i wish I could rate zero and I also wish I read the reviews before I went with the venue. The…read moremanagement and staff are beyond incompetent and rude. Do not book your wedding here. They will ruin your day. The security guard was the only helpful person on the day. In fact, he was the only one present on the day from morning to night. I was promised that haider, one of the staff members would be present to help, but he was not there and would not answer any phone calls. I had to go through the office entrance which according to security wasn't supposed to be open, as there was no one to let me in and there was no one answering the phone. My registrar had to get hold of a signing table as they had forgot to put one out for my civil ceremony. when confronted about this, I was told by haider that i didnt tell him I was having a civil, even though I have clear written and verbal proof that I did in fact tell him, I'm having a civil ceremony at 12pm and need a signing table. When confronted, bilal was rude and told me I am blackmailing him when I asked for a form of compensation. They are fraudsers and scammers. Do not go with this company for your wedding.

    I wish I had planned a bit better because it took so long to get over to Kew Gardens and it's…read morereally beauty that needs about a half day to walk around in, so we ended up having to cancel our plans to see a second play to fully enjoy it. Don't buy your Kew Gardens tickets through Get Your Guide. You have to wait in the same line as purchasing regular tickets so it saves you no time and actually costs you more time than just buying them through their website. You're able to bring in food and water, which is fantastic if you're planning to stop by Ginger Pig and make a picnic out of it, which we did. The space is really pretty and their hot houses are delightful so make sure to bring your walking shoes and enjoy yourself!

    This was a beautiful opportunity to get close to nature and enjoy quality time with my family where…read morethere was something for everyone. Kew Gardens- yeah I know - Metropolitan Ave, right between Forest Hills and Richmond Hill/Jamaica and 22 minutes from New York city; well this is the original, the Kew Gardens 22 minutes from London in the United Kingdom with a 22 pound( that's 30 dollars US )admission for adults and $8 US equivalent for kids up to age 15 , which I thought was awesome and so worth it. What we enjoyed - 37 acres of nature- wildflowers, tall grasses and beautiful trees. Shaded walkways as we witnessed gorgeous butterflies and dragonflies in their natural habitat. Comfy shoes please!!!!!!!! Suggestion- hire a tour guide for 20 pounds for the group ( that's $26 US) - worth it as they know which sites are popular, busy and their knowledge about the history of the trees and flowers is precious. Maximize your time here!!!! Then on to the Alpine House where we loved seeing some of the most resilient plants in an Artic induced environment. The best part of the day - the Hive - a recreation of a real beehive with the real sound that is 63 feet high( photo) with over 1500 LED lights and music symphony responding to the sounds in C- the very key the bees buzz in. You have to also get to the top of the 160 feet Great Pagoda for some nice photos. Thank you Kew Gardens for being open year round and having so much for the grandkids who are still buzzing ( fun pun) about it. You will need the full day to experience every awesome aspect here. They are open from 10-7.( The Hive closes at 6). Please buy your tickets online to save time. Furthermore get the subway or tube day or 3 day pass to avoid the lines or US credit card processing delays at the machines at the stations. Public transportation especially the tube or subway here in London is absolutely stellar. Parking here is crazy and expensive. So yes take the tube or taxis are $68-70 from Central London. Great day here! Fully recommend Kew Gardens as a must stop.

    I woke up in the morning to find no running water. I called the front desk and they said they'd be…read moreright up. They never came. I had to check out without a shower or brushing my teeth, which are things I expect when staying at a hotel. I understand things happen, but my response when bringing it to their attention was that they had it fixed later that day and to basically deal with it. Later in the day isn't helpful if it's not fixed by check out and they could have at least come to try to fix it before check out. I left feeling disregarded as a customer and I don't think it's too much to want a working shower with a hotel room.

    I must admit that I was not sure about staying at the Holiday Inn in Brentford. I have had many bad…read moreexperiences at other Holiday Inn hotels but my colleague had assured my that this was better and since I was attending a meeting in the area I decided to give it a chance and it was better than I expected. The check-in was smooth and efficient. The staff were friendly and worked quickly. The room was clean and had everything that is to be expected (iron, ironing board, TV (old type), safe, mini-bar, water kettle and coffee and tea). The design is not exciting but it was functional. Bed was comfortable and I appreciated the choice of both soft and firm pillows. It was however extremly annoying that they charge outrageous sums for wifi access in the rooms. If it was the 90s that would have been at least understandable but nowadays that is just not ok. The location by Brentford lock is convenient when coming from Heathrow but for tourists who wish to access the more central parts of London there are much better options. It is not very close to any tube or train stations but there are busses departing outside the hotel. Do avoid eating at the restaurant. The food did not impress me.I am not sure whether there are other options in the area that are better but I did seea number of pubs that I would expect to be able to serve up some better food (and probably at better prices). Breakfast was similarly not very good, the selection was decent but quality was not great. All in all still a good choice if you are going to Brentford or the surroinding areas but for other areas in London there are better options.
