Im sure there is a Thistle hotel that you can see on the right hand side as you go into Euston.

The thistle on the same road as Ibis

The Thistle may let you have a fairly limited view, but the Ibis has a view of Euston's finest concrete walls.

That's what you get for the price

When the hotel in the Shard London Bridge opens you'll probably be able to see every railway line within the M25.

It would make a really good signalbox...

Travelodge London Southwark is pretty good - you've got the Thameslink lines just south of Blackfriars crossing the Charing Cross - London Bridge lines. Incredibly busy - as long as you get a room on that side of the hotel!

So cool to get asleep and wake up with horns, flanges and train running noises...

There's a rude joke in there about going to bed with horn and flange, but I'm going to rise above it and merely hint.

I managed to sleep there just fine, although I admit I'm a fairly heavy sleeper...

The hotel next to Charing Cross (sorry, can't remember which) I seem to recall has windows overlooking the concoure (although it may just be from the restaurant or such)
I remember staying there and having breakfast and trying to work out why there were departure boards outside the window!

Just don't start on flange lubrication...

I stayed at Travelodge Aldgate East last year. I had a view of c2c trains to and from Fenchurch Street station, and think I caught a glimpse of Docklands Light Rail trains too.

The Hilton Canary Wharf (the newer one located outside of the old South Quay station) has great views of the DLR
