The Parkcity Hotel

Introduction: The Parkcity Hotel is on the western side of what is considered central London. Bordered by Earls Court, Kensington and South Kensington in a residential side road. The hotel is just off from the Cromwell Road, better known as the A4 which is a major road linking Heathrow Airport and central London. It remains busy at all times with many bus routes running along this section and London taxis aplenty. If you make the journey by taxi from here to Heathrow expect to take anything between 25 and 45 minutes depending on the traffic. Local type shopping can be found along Earls Court Road and Gloucester Road ,which are both around 450 yards from the hotel. Three major supermarkets within half a mile which are Sainsbury's (Cromwell Road) (0.2 miles), Waitrose (Gloucester Road) (0.3 miles) and a huge Tesco (Cromwell Road) (0.5 miles). One third of a mile to the east is the upmarket and chic area of South Kensington. Lots of boutiques and bars and the start of the tourist heart of London. Some 700 yards to the north is Kensington High Street, always popular for its large selection of shops and cafes, and which leads down to Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park (0.5 miles). 1 mile to the south is the Kings Road, Chelsea, made famous in the 60's as a fashion and trend setter and still offers great nightlife and fashion shops. This part of London is home to two major exhibition centres, earls Court (0.5 miles) and Olympia (0.8 miles). Some local places of interest include Baden-Powell House museum (0.4 miles) (a small museum which tells the story of Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Boy Scout and Girl Guides movements), Linley Sambourne House (0.5 miles) and the Royal College of Music Museum (0.5 miles) (over 800 instruments dating back to 1480).
