Introduction: Situated in central London, just North West of centre is the Hempel Hotel. This location is very popular with budget and tourist class hotels which are found side by side with the residential population. Most residences in this area are flats (apartments) converted from Victorian and Gerorgian style houses. This particular location is in a triangle between Queensway, Bayswater and Paddington. Queensway is noted for Its shopping High street with many boutique style shops, bars and restaurants. The High Street includes an ice skating rink at one end and the covered shopping mall of Whitley's at the other. This area has a large Middle Eastern population. Bayswater is actually the Road that runs parallel to Hyde Park and along here you will find very expensive apartment blocks. On Sundays along Bayswater Road there is an arts market mainly of original paintings. Paddington hosts the two train services to Heathrow Airport, the Heathrow Express (non-stop) and the Heathrow Connect Service which makes stops along the way. The hotel is less than 300 yards from Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. Here you will find enough to do for a whole day. The two parks are full of dedicated garden areas, memorials and statues along with the Serpentine lake and gallery at its heart where you can take out a boat in good weather. The hotel is just over half a mile from the chic shopping and upmarket residential area of Notting Hill, made famous by the film of the same name. 1 mile from the hotel is Marble Arch which apart from being a landmark in its own right is the start of two major shopping areas, Edgware Road with its middle Eastern oriented shops and restaurants, and Oxford Street, which has one of the highest densities of shopping of any road in Europe and is geared towards tourists from all over the world. Other nearby attractions and landmarks include the Alexandra Fleming laboratory (0.5 miles), Kensington Palace (0.7 miles), Royal Albert Hall (0.8 miles) and Harrods Department Store (1.2 miles).
