St John Hotel - Central London

Introduction: Just on the northern side of Leicester Square puts the St John Hotel London in a privileged location within central London. This is the main tourist area and part of London's west end which means never ending night life, amenities and dozens of surrounding theatres. Famous districts are all around with well known names such as Trafalgar Square (200 yards south), Soho (150 yards north), Piccadilly Circus (280 yards west) and Covent Garden (300 yards east). One of the nearest attractions is the National Gallery at 300 yards which is home to one of the best collections of Western European art in the world. Leicester Street itself is a small side street just off of Shaftesbury Avenue.

Hotel:
The St. John Hotel London occupies the building that for nearly 60 years was home to the famous Manzi's seafood restaurant, one of the last of the 'theatre restaurants'.
