Introduction: A truly prime
location at the bottom of Regent Street by Piccadilly Circus and on
the eastern border of Mayfair places the
Café Royal Hotel London in
the very centre of London. The hotel is the focus of the massive
Quadrant development with 44,000 square feet of public space of
which 16,000 square feet is shopping space and the area is largely
traffic free.
Regent Street is one of the premier shopping and entertainment
areas within London with Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square and
Trafalgar Square at its south end and Soho on its east side. Along
the street you will find names synonymous with London such as Carnaby Street, Hamleys toy store and the London Palladium Theatre.
This is also part of Theatreland and the West End with 10 theatres
within 300 yards. Soho is known for its adult clubs and excellent
restaurants and itself is opposite China Town with several oriental
restaurants and clubs. All-in-all one of the best locations you could hope in
the very heart of central London close to all the major attractions.

spectrum of famous and infamous patrons along with members of the
Royal family. It was also home to the National Sporting Club from
1951. The Cafe Royal closed in December 2008. The grade I listed

bullets in his head in the building. In 2003 a 47-year-old Ukrainian
cleaner was found dead in a broom cupboard. Oscar Wilde had his only
