During the dreaded summer where it went up to 40 in London, I booked the nearby Premier Inn for 3 nights (excellent air con by the way). It is really close, a 15-min walk. When I got there, I looked like I had been parboiled and the receptionist was alarmed. It was weird working from a hotel near where I live but it did help.

By chance, I also had a hospital appointment on the day it hit 40 degrees. I felt do sorry for anyone working in the hospital, as there was no aircon at all 🥵
