Top-end hotels, some restaurants and theatres are being hit,

On the edge of London restaurants for instance are doing particularly well, it is the central core of the capital that is suffering.

We must continue to encourage more domestic short-break and long-break holidays, and our overseas marketing is critically important.

We are not seeing cancellations, but we are not seeing new bookings either,

There needs to be an understanding of what is reasonable for a particular industry, so in hospitality there will be problems with listed buildings and Braille if menus that change daily.

Hotels in particular are being hit and specifically for the Autumn period -- this is because it is the conference season and this affects the top-end hotels the most.
