In the run-up to going away, I decided to try out Tripit to dump all of my travel plans in.
One of the features that Tripit has is that it can print you out a detailed itinerary with all sorts of maps and directions.
Here is the map from my Tripit account of the location of our first hotel:
It also automatically gave us walking directions from Paddington Station, because we came in on the express train from Heathrow.
Now, where is the hotel, really?:
It seems that the Google Maps search function takes the phrase "Kensington Gardens Square" and uses it to find "Garden Mews, Kensington."
Garden Mews seems like a very nice little back alley, but it might benefit from streetlights so that people who show up a few hours after sunset aren't floundering around in the dark making sure there isn't a hotel hiding amongst the rubbish bins.
