The Luxurious Stafford London Hotel. The Luxury Stafford London Hotel The Stafford London by Kempinski is in the heart of St James. It’s every hotel you’ve ever wanted with its classically beautiful English rooms to country charm cottage. From stylish mews living to a glorious American bar. From the rustic seasonal cuisine to al fresco dining. You might expect the incomparable luxury of The Stafford, a bastion of Great British hospitality, but you will certainly delight in its eccentricities. Three-hundred and eighty year old wine cellars, an 18th century stable courtyard, a bar festooned with historical memorabilia and imaginative British cuisine – unique experiences that stay with you long after leaving.

The luxury London hotel’s Main House has 67 individually appointed rooms. The Carriage House, once stables to thoroughbreds, an antiquarian bookseller’s home and a fine-art framer’s workshop is today one of London’s most unique places to stay.

Glass Beach – The Dump You’ll Want to Visit. Before you say anything about the content of this article, I hate people who litter. I’ll judge you if I think you’re too lazy to recycle. I hate pollution and the death of our fragile ecosystems and all the rest. But- with that disclaimer out of the way- Glass Beach in Fort Bragg, California is the incredible result of human wastefulness and the resilience of nature. It’s like a little Inuksuk… I’ve been trolling around for lesser known landscapes to road trip to and explore, and stumbled across this chunk of multicoloured west coast paradise.

These days, Glass Beach is a protected part of MacKerricher State Park, but in 1949, it was the site of an unrestricted dump. Eventually, California realized that dumping automobiles, appliances, toxic substances and razor sharp shards of glass into the water was probably a bad idea, and looked elsewhere for a dumping site. The beaches under the cliffs lay polluted, cluttered and ruined, and were basically treated as a forgotten ‘mistake.’ Backpack Europe on Budget--Backpacking and travel info for budget travelers.
