The room was comfortable and clean with great views both to front and rear of hotel. The location is ideal for exploring London as it is close to the Underground at Tower Hill and to the Thames water taxi at the Millennium Pier. Short walk across Tower Bridge to Southwark Cathedral and Borough market ...

Royal Garden Hotel
So glad we arranged the airport shuttle to pick us up when we arrived in London. The driver texted me to let us know he was at the airport. He was holding a sign with our names so we quickly identified him. The drive to the hotel was stress free.
