Haymarket Hotel

Introduction: Located in a prime section of London, just behind Trafalgar Square and on the junction of Haymarket itself (which is home to the Theatre Royal Haymarket which is adjacent to the hotel) and Suffolk Place. The small turning of Suffolk Place sees a great deal less traffic than the busy roads that surround it. The Haymarket Hotel was newly opened on 1st May 2007 housed in a totally renovated Regency building (originally designed by John Nash). Actually backing onto the Sainsbury Wing of the National Gallery which lines the north west corner of Trafalgar Square. The square is one of the most visited places in London, once famed for its pigeons, but while some die hards do still feed the pigeons its not actually permitted any longer. Much of the square is now pedestrianised and whereas years ago traffic flowed all around it these days traffic only passes to the south side. Opposite the hotel is the Sports Bar, a popular evening venue for sports fan who enjoy a drink since it has no less than 20 screens showing sports events. From the hotels location so much of central London is within walking distance. From theatreland which lines Shaftesbury Avenue to the north of Piccadilly Circus (300 yards), The shopping along Regent Street which runs parallel with Shaftesbury Avenue, Leicester Square 200 yards to the east or Covent Garden (with the ever popular piazza) 700 yards from the hotel. The open space of St James's Park is witnin 300 yards which itself is part of the grounds to Buckingham Palace.
