Hotel Overview:
The Bentley London is located between South Kensington and Earls Court in a semi residential section of the area. Although between two very busy main roads (Cromwell Road and Old Brompton Road) this location gives something of a secluded feel from the busy surrounding areas. The Cromwell Road is part of the much longer A4 dual carriageway and is actually the main arterial route for road traffic into west and central London. It links up with Heathrow airport which can be driven in around 30 minutes from here. Other popular shopping districts within easy reach are Kensington High Street (0.6 miles), Kings Road, Chelsea (0.7 miles) and Knightsbridge (home to Harrods department store)(1 mile). The major exhibition centre of Earls Court is just 0.6 miles to the west of the hotel. One of London's major features is the River Thames that splits the city in two. Its banks make for a great walk or scenic areas where you can view the passing boats or even take a river boat trip yourself. Its less than a mile to the nearest point of the River along and you van take a River bus form Chelsea or Cadogan pier. Other local places of interest include the Natural History Museum, Science Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum (all grouped together)(0.4 miles), Royal Albert Hall (0.6 miles), Linley Sambourne House (0.7 miles), Brompton Oratory (London's second largest Catholic church) (0.8 miles) and Kensington Palace (0.8 miles).Hotel in Detail:
