Local knowledge

Request rooms away from construction sites (non-construction-facing sides often full but ask anyway); north wing reportedly quieter than south.
Skip dinner at The Garden restaurant and order from delivery apps like Deliveroo—set menu is very limited and overpriced.
Breakfast included is excellent 7-11am; arrive early to beat crowds at live omelette station.
