Introduction: The Luna and Simone Hotel is located midway between Pimlico and Victoria. There are a large number of bed and breakfast hotels within this relatively small area which are made up from converted terraced houses. Pimlico itself is a mainly residential area with a large number of apartments/flats from what were originally single residences. Its location is right at the start of what would be considered central London proper while being out of the main central areas such as the west end where room rates attract a premium because of the area. It is also served by the tube stop of Pimlico and the mainline railway Station of Victoria from where trains run to locations all over Britain. It also is the start point for the Gatwick Express, which runs non-stop to Gatwick Airport. The hotel is less than half a miles walk to the River Thames which is to the south of the Hotel. The River makes for a pleasant walk along its banks, much of which has dedicated walking paths, there are places to stop and sit and watch the passing ships on this busy river. You can also catch a river bus (nearest stop Millbank Pier). For local type shops there are many on the surrounding roads such as Lupus Street, Vauxhall Bridge Road and Warwick Way, including bars and restaurants. Closest major shopping streets are Victoria Street (0.4 miles) to the east and Kings Road, Chelsea (0.8 miles) to the west. The majority of London's attractions are located to the east of the hotel with nearest including Westminster Cathedral (0.3 miles), Tate Britain (0.5 miles), Queens Gallery (0.6 miles), St James's Park (0.7 miles), Buckingham Palace (0.7 miles), Guards Museum (0.7 miles) and Jewel Tower (0.8 miles).

| Locality Information |
| Directions: Pimlico or Victoria station? If your making the journey from Heathrow airport using the Piccadilly line on the tube network you may be thinking Pimlico station looks the nearest station. Bear in mind that both Victoria station and Pimlico stations require one change of train. The change at Hammersmith if you are travelling to Victoria is a quick one, just a few feet to the opposite platform. However the change at Green park if you are thinking of travelling to Pimlico involves far more walking and includes flights of stairs making this change of train far more of a hassle. From Victoria its a short taxi ride or you can catch a bus or even walk since the distance to the hotel is just under half a mile. Also consider using the National express coach service into London if you are arriving into terminals 1,2 or 3. Its priced inline with the tube and requires no changes on route. |
