Personal welcome pack offered by LondonTown.

Long-established London booking site LondonTown offers a free personalised "Welcome Pack" to all its hotel booking clients with a range of exclusive offers

The popular London website Londontown.com describes itself as the number one internet site for London and is now offering a free customised welcome pack to anyone who books London hotels through it.

It’s an interesting innovation from London’s most trusted online booking website (founded 15 years ago) – which is also the brains behind the exciting London Hotel Map application featured recently on this blog.

The welcome pack certainly appears to carry a wide range of offers, 2 for 1 deals and other discounts, including a 3 day free guest pass at any Fitness First gym – the latter useful for those wishing to keep up their regimen while enjoying their holidays (and the good restaurants!) in London.

But perhaps the most attractive and useful addition to the welcome pack is the free personalised events guide compiled for you prior to your visit.

The LondonTown.com website already has reams of information to help you get clued up on upcoming events, exhibitions and places to visit – and their welcome pack specifically lists what’s on in the capital during your stay.  It’s like having your own personalised mini-version of Time Out magazine.

The guide  is also specifically tailored around the area near your London hotel.  It is designed to help you squeeze every last drop out of your visit to the city and help you discover the city’s many secret delights.

According to the official Londontown.com website, “each guide produced is unique, ensuring that every event and activity covered can be experienced on the dates of your stay in London.”  The guide is emailed to the visitor a week before their arrival date, giving plenty of time for itinerary planning.

The welcome pack may also be of particular use to vacationing couples, as it offers a large number of 2 for 1 offers on a wide variety of popular attractions, including the London Eye, Lords cricket ground, Chelsea Physic Garden and a range of important current art exhibitions.

Those keen to discover the rich heritage of London’s past will be delighted by the inclusion of two free tickets to a walking tour of their choice.  Tours to choose from include ‘Secret London’, ‘Old Westminster’ and ‘Shakespeare’s & Dickens’ London’.  Four free audio tours are also included, covering iconic areas of the capital, such as Soho, Camden and Brixton.

The welcome pack offers a wealth of information and deals for first-time and seasoned London visitors.  It’s also notable that LondonTown.com’s booking engine is linked directly to the real-time booking systems of its partner London hotels (unlike most other hotel booking agents): so you know your booking will be honoured and you pay the hotel directly.

The free 3 day gym pass (valid at 60 Fitness First centres) for London visitors who book through LondonTown.com is a godsend for those who wish to enjoy a healthy vacation - and take advantage of the city's many international restaurants guilt-free!

Indeed, it’s interesting how often LondonTown is considered the “official source” on London – particularly in view of the site’s longevity and comprehensive customer service (it employs “real Londoners” to help its customers in Leicester Square, who work tirelessly 7 days a week).

The custom welcome pack helps cement LondonTown’s positioning as the “best of both worlds”: the security of booking directly with the hotel’s system together with the flexibility, guarantees and service of an agency.

We recommend that you test the service and claim your own London welcome pack the next time you are looking for cheap London hotels.  You may also want to check out this cool visual London hotel map.
