Introduction: The Chancery Court Hotel, an imposing looking white construction
, dates back to 1914. Its location on High Holborn (a major and busy through road) places it on the eastern edge of central
London. The great thing about this location is that its within walking distance of the main tourist areas and nightlife and yet just over a mile from the City
of London. Therefore for business travellers needing access to the main business sectors but also wanting to be near London's central hub it really fits the
bill. High Holborn itself is part of the A40 which leads straight down to the City of London (Square mile) and offers plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants.
Busiest during the week when the area is populated with workers that leave London on weekends. Holborn tube station is just 150 yards from the hotel. From
there the electrical shops of Tottenham Court Road are one stop away (2 minutes) while clubs of Leicester Square are just two stops away (3 minutes). To the rear
of the Chancery Court hotel is Lincolns Inn Fields, worth a quick look as it is London's largest Square and is said to have been the inspiration for New York's Central
Park. Here you'll find
Sir John
Soames Museum, dedicated to the work of Architect Sir John Soane, R.A who
lived here. It loess than half a mile to the west to find the major tourist area
of
Covent Garden. Part
of London's theatreland, famous for its street buskers and central Piazza and
home to the Royal Opera House. Other local places of interest include the
British Museum
(0.3 miles), St Clement Dames Church (the RAF Church) (0.3 miles),
Dickens
House (0.4 miles),

Transport Museum (0.4 miles) and the Courtauld Institute Gallery (centre of
conservation and history) (0.4 miles).
