The Park Plaza County Hall

Introduction: Adjacent to Waterloo Station, home to a host of national and local rail routes, is the purpose built Park Plaza County Hall Hotel. Its not part of the main County Hall, the former home to the GLC (london Government), but on a site opposite to the main building. Although this location is south of the River Thames its actually just yards from Westminster Bridge which gives access to the north side of the river.  Just over the bridge is Parliament Square which is where you will find the Houses of Parliament, the house of Lords, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. However right on your doorstep the London Eye (Millennium Wheel), a giant Catherine wheel like structure giving views for miles over London. The London Eye also marks the start of the South Bank centre which is home to places of interest such as Haywards Gallery, the Queen Elizabeth Hall, National Theatre and the Royal festival Hall. The area all around the hotel is busy and bustling with plenty of shops in the local vicinity. 0.8 miles to the south is the major shopping area of Elephant and Castle although it lacks the class and style of the shopping to be found North of the River. Nearest major shopping is to be found at Victoria Street which is half a mile on the other side of Westminster Bridge. Other local attractions include the London Aquarium (0.1 miles), Imax Cinema (0.3 miles), Imperial War Museum (0.4 miles) and Lambeth Palace (0.4 miles).
