Description:
The Threadneedles Hotel occupies a location in the heart of the City of London,
known throughout the world as the main district for financial services and
companies. This is actually one of the oldest parts of the City as you will see
in the narrow winding nature of the surrounding streets. This part of the City
was once the home to the Royal Exchange (a centre for commerce) which today is a
luxury shopping centre with a large number of stores and restaurants. The Royal
exchange is just 100 yards from the hotel between Cornhill and Threadneedles
Street. At the western end of Threadneedles Street, just after the Bank
junction, is Mansion House, one of the grandest surviving Georgian town palaces
in London and home for the City of London Major. The hotel is opposite both the
Bank of England the London Stock Exchange. 10 tube stations within half a
mile with the major rail station of Liverpool Street just 0.3 miles to the
north. From there you can take a direct train out to Stansted Airport, the
Stansted Express,
with a journey time of 45 minutes. The
Barbican
arts and entertainment complex is less than half a mile to the north west.
The main tourist areas are 2 miles to the east around the West End and can be
reached in 15 minutes by tube and 15-20 minutes by taxi. Other local places of
interest include
Monument (0.3 miles), Petticoat Lane Market (0.5 miles),

London (0.5 miles), Royal Armouries and fusiliers Museum (0.5 miles),

the surrounding area which are busy weekdays and less so weekends.
Threadneedles was the very first luxury boutique hotel in the Square Mile
(City of London centre). The hotel was originally a Victorian Banking Hall built
in 1865, with solid oak doors and impressive marble columns. The centre piece of
the hotel is the beautifully hand-painted glass dome abobe the lobby, which epitomises
the Threadneedles hotel and dates back to 1856. Reception features a marble floor and glass dome roof. The
leather armchairs help to give something of a gentleman's club feel. The hotel
itself can be said to have both a discrete and stylish feel.
