Introduction: The Express by Holiday Inn Victoria retains
its 19th century Georgian style exterior. This is a central location close to
Victoria mainline rail station which has a direct train service to Gatwick
Airport, the Gatwick Express. Good transport links from this area will enable
you to explore all of London by either bus, taxi or tube. There are some local
shops and amenities in the immediate surrounding area (Lupus Street and Vauxhall
Bridge Road) while a little further on finds great shopping areas such as
Victoria Street (0.5 miles),
Kings Road,
Chelsea (0.9 miles), Bond Street (1.4 miles) and Knightsbridge (1.3 miles).
This part of Victoria is called Pimlico and is an area very popular with
budget/tourist class hotels. Many of the houses along Belgrave Road and
surrounding roads are Georgian and Victorian properties that have been converted
into hotels for the budget accommodation sector. The Road itself has little on
it part from houses and hotels so to enjoy London and its nightlife you will
either take a short taxi ride or walk towards Victoria Street and the Station
which is where amenities begin to the North, or towards Sloane Square 0.8 miles
to the West. Nearest attractions include Westminster Cathedral (0.4 miles),
Tate Britain
(0.5 miles),
Houses of
Parliament (0.8 miles),
Buckingham
Palace (0.8 miles) and the

(Millennium Wheel) (1.2 miles).
