What hotels are there in this area of London?

I found this cool map when I was trying to locate a hotel near a customer site I will be working at in the near future. Very useful, you can zoom in and out and it changes hotels shown on the map also puts their names in a list on the right. Now thats something of a GISa (Google Is Special application) or (Graphical Information Systems applied) both work for me ;-)

Interactive guide to Hotels in London

You may not need it if your from London, but if your from outside then finding a hotel can be interesting. We were just chatting during a course this week and it's amazing the types of places people end up in when tryng to save the company money.
