One Aldwych Hotel

Introduction: One Aldwych London is centrally located on the edge of Covent Garden and at the end of the Strand where many of London's best known theatres can be found. There are no less than 18 theatres within half a mile. Covent Garden is one of London's most popular areas with tourists both at night and during the day. Here you will find the covered piazza with its famous street buskers, a busy market and an area brimming with restaurants, bars, museums and nightlife. Just a short walk away from the hotel is the River Thames. Very much a working River with a river taxi service and always many boats and barges passing. Just on the south side of the River, some 0.4 miles form the hotel, is the South Bank. Here you will find a range of amenities including galleries and theatres (Hayward Gallery, National Theatre). This location is also great for anyone needing access into the City of London (aka the financial district, Square Mile) with the adjoining fleet street leading into St Paul's and the city and opposite Aldwych is the Victoria Embankment which leads on to the Docklands and Canary Wharf. At the opposite end of the Strand is Trafalgar Square, Regents Street, Whitehall (leading to the Houses of Parliament) and the grounds of Buckingham Palace. Aldwych itself is a very busy road on weekdays but this means haling a taxi is never a problem.
Some local places of interest include the Courtauld Institute Gallery (leading centre for study, history and conservation of art and architecture)(0.05 miles), London Transport museum (0.1 miles), St Clement Dames Church (Sir Christopher Wrens RAF Central Church)(0.2 miles), Cleopatra's Needle (0.2 miles) and Sir John Soames Museum (0.4 miles).
