Hilton Honors has quietly increased the points price of three London hotels

On Monday we wrote about the quiet Hilton Honors redemption price rises. I said that London seemed to have got away without any changes, but that rises were still filtering through the system.
It seems I spoke too soon. Three of the four Hilton Honors hotels in London which had a 30,000 points per night cap have gone up to 40,000 points.
There are:
Hampton by Hilton London Docklands (covered here, photo above)
Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick (reviewed here)
The Hilton Garden Inn at Hatton Cross, near Heathrow (reviewed here) remains capped at 30,000 points.
Whilst all of the other Hilton properties in London are unchanged, this change is a blow to anyone who only had a small number of points and was hoping to get a free London hotel stay out of it.
