Ashburn Hotel London

Introduction: The Ashburn Hotel London is located on the very western edge of the SW7 postcode, almost within the area of Earls Court. This can also be thought of as the outer edge of the very central London areas. Being right on Cromwell Road means there is a lot of traffic running past the hotel since this is the main road (its the A4) that brings traffic into west London takes traffic out to Heathrow airport. The immediately surrounding vicinity are actually residential areas but the big shopping areas are within walking distance such as Kensington and South Kensington which are both within half a mile while the trendy shopping and nightlife of the Kings Road Chelsea is less than a mile to the south. Just a matter of yards from the hotel is a large supermarket called Sainsbury and another called Waitrose on Gloucester Road. There are many other shops and convenience stores close by. The hotel is convenient for two major exhibition centres, Earls Court at 0.6 miles and Olympia at 1 mile. Half a mile to the north is the two large parks and open spaces of Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, the two merge seamlessly and provide a umber of activities along with many statues and landscaped gardens, they are also home to the Princess Diana memorial fountain. Other local attractions include Baden Powell House Museum (0.3 miles) (the story of Robert Baden-Powell who founded the Scout and Guides organisations), Natural History Museum (0.4 miles), Science Museum (0.5 miles), Royal Albert Hall (0.5 miles) (concert and arts venue), Victoria and Albert Museum (0.6 miles) and Kensington Palace (0.6 miles).
