Limehouse Library Hotel
Loved Limehouse Library Hotel !! Very quirky, with plants and pictures everywhere. The themed rooms were fun... we were in Marie Curie, complete with radioactive symbols over the bed and a copy of "Lessons in Chemistry" on the bedside table 😂. The room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. ...
