Nearby Facilities

In the vicinity of the Hotel you can enjoy following London attractions:

Harrods and Knightsbridge: (5 minutes by Tube).
Arguably the most famous, and undoubtedly the most expensive department store in London, a trip behind the world famous façade is a "must-do" part of any visit to London, even if only to gape at the price tags! Harrods is actually in Brompton Road, which leads off Knightsbridge, itself a fairly short street of some of the most expensive and exclusive shopping in London that begins with Harvey Nichols, another delightful and expensive department store at the junction with Sloane Street, and continues with another world famous store - the Scotch House - and follows on down Knightsbridge and Brompton Road to Harrods with smaller shops for exclusive shoes, clothes and jewellery as well as hair salons. Previously, an area of very exclusive shops, recent years have seen the opening of branches of chain stores such as Next, Kookai, Boss and many more. For relief on the long walk around all this floorspace, you will find several coffee shops opposite Harrods and some delightful restaurants in Walton Place, behind the store.

Victoria and Albert Museum: (10 minutes walking distance)
The Victoria & Albert Museum opened in 1852 and moved to its South Kensington site in 1857. Its buildings gradually grew from the rear of the site towards the road. The final stage was the new four-storey building along Cromwell Road and Exhibition Road. Designed by Aston Webb, this was built between 1899 and 1909. The facade is decorated with thirty-two sculptures of great English artists, architects and craftsmen. The Victoria & Albert Museum is the greatest museum of applied and decorative arts in the world. Explore the breathtaking permanent collections from the four corners of the globe including fashion and textiles, sculpture, ceramics and glass, metalwork, silver and jewellery, furniture, photography and paintings. Don't miss the British Galeries 1500-1900, telling the story of British design and art from the Tudor period to the Victorian Age. The Victoria and Albert Museum is open from 10.00am to 5.45p.m. except on Wednesdays, when it stays open to 10.00p.m. Admission to the museum.

Natural History Museum: (8 minutes walking distance)
Undoubtedly one of the most impressive buildings in central London with its well known, façade along Cromwell Road, the Natural History Museum's origins, as with other museums in the area, lie in the Great Exhibitions of 1851 and 1862 at the peak of the Industrial Revolution. It is hard to believe that the present building was not the most impressive designed a change of government soon after the original design was completed led to the possibility of a new, stunning building that would have followed the waterline of the Thames south bank in a gentle curve. However, the original plan was revived and work began in 1873 and finished 7 years later. In the process, several practical changes were made to the design from the lighting in the galleries to the style of the building from its original Renaissance style to German Romanesque. The museum is well known for its growing Dinosaur Exhibits but includes a wide range of exhibitions which look both back and forward. Easily taking up a whole day if you want, the Natural History Museum is open Monday to Saturday 10.00 to 17.30 and Sunday 11.00-17.30. Entrance to the Natural History Museum is free, except during special exhibitions.
