Introduction: The The Kingsley by Thistle Hotel London, an Edwardian building, is located on the eastern edge of the very central areas of London. Bloomsbury Way is the extension of New Oxford Street which is part of one of the capitals best known roads, Oxford Street (just 300 yards away). To the East of the hotel is Holborn which leads down to the City of London (Square Mile), making it very convenient as a mid-way location between the financial areas and the tourist areas. Holborn is very busy during the week but relatively quiet during weekends. Just to the North is Russell Square and the popular area of Bloomsbury which has its own shopping centre and cinema. A short walk (less than 200 yards) to the south finds you in Covent Garden. This would be one of the spots that should not be missed on any London visit. Known for its street entertainers (buskers) and the piazza at its heart with two markets and a string of restaurants and bars. This is a top destination both during the day and in the evening. To the south west is Soho, geared towards adult entertainment but with many pubs and clubs to suit everyone. Also popular for its many varied restaurants. Other local attractions/places of interest include the British Museum (0.1 miles), Sir John Soames Museum (0.3 miles), Theatre Museum (0.4 miles), London Transport Museum (0.4 miles), Pollocks Toy Museum (0.5 miles), Dickens House (0.5 miles) and Petrie Egyptian Archaeology Museum (0.6 miles).
