London is duly famous worldwide, known for its theaters, museums, parks, royalty, fashion and rich history. Gone are the days from that history when smoking was fashionable almost everywhere---including London's landmark hotels. Smokers are still welcomed at many hotels in the city, though, and some have rooms set aside for smokers. Remember to request a smoking room at the time you make your reservations.
