Introduction: The Radisson Edwardian Vanderbilt Hotel
London is located in the fashionable Kensington/South Kensington area. Actually
on the Cromwell Road (A4), this is a major road link into central London and is
busy as most times. However it does provide a direct link out to Heathrow
Airport making for a convenient run if arriving or departing by taxi/car. Just
across the road is the Gloucester Road tube station, which being on the
Piccadilly line, provides a link to
Heathrow Airport. Also close by are the shops of Knightsbridge (home to
Harrods department store) and Hyde Park with its wide open spaces and landscaped
themed garden areas. Just along the road from the hotel is a large Sainsbury's
supermarket. Many attractions are nearby such as the Natural History Museum (0.2
miles), Science Museum (0.3 miles), Victoria and Albert Museum (0.4 miles) and
the Royal Albert Hall (0.4 miles).

Many original features remain including stain glass windows, wood panelled rooms
and its elegantly painted ceiling in the hotel lobby. The hotel is actually made
