Twickenham Stadium is the largest dedicated rugby stadium in the world and the home of England Rugby, seating over 82,000 fans for international Test matches and the Guinness Six Nations. The 'Home of England Rugby' has hosted some of the sport's most dramatic moments including England's World Cup warm-up fixtures and the 2015 Rugby World Cup pool stages. Hotels in London provide excellent access to Twickenham and the extraordinary range of London's cultural attractions, from the National Gallery to the West End theatre scene.
A former Midland Bank transformed into a members-club-meets-hotel with nine restaurants, a rooftop pool overlooking St Paul's, and the most spectacular lobby in London — original 1920s banking hall, Lutyens-designed, absurdly grand.
The original Hoxton, and still the best. Compact rooms with vintage school-desk furniture, a ground-floor restaurant that's become a neighbourhood institution, and a location at the epicentre of East London's creative scene.
The definitive London grand hotel. Art Deco lobbies, immaculate service, and a guest list that reads like a social register. The afternoon tea is iconic, the bar is legendary, and the doormen remember your name from last year.
Philippe Starck-designed chaos in the best possible way. Bold prints, neon signs, a rooftop with DJs at weekends, and room rates that make Shoreditch accessible. The pizza is legitimately good.
Understated luxury that whispers rather than shouts. The rooms are dressed in muted linens and mahogany, the cocktail bar (by Agostino Perrone) is the best in London, and the Hélène Darroze restaurant holds two Michelin stars.
Three Georgian townhouses in the heart of Soho, furnished with genuine antiques — four-poster beds, claw-foot baths, and not a hint of corporate uniformity. Named after the essayist William Hazlitt, and every bit as literary.
