London Bridge Hotel

Location is the star here. London Bridge Hotel sits directly opposite London Bridge station, with Borough Market and The Shard just next door. The Thames is a few minutes away, while Tower Bridge, Shakespeare’s Globe and Tate Modern are all within easy walking distance. London Bridge station also makes getting around exceptionally easy, with Underground and rail connections across the capital and direct trains to Gatwick Airport.

Rooms are contemporary, comfortable and thoughtfully equipped, with everything you need after a busy day exploring London. The look is understated rather than showy, with crisp interiors, comfortable beds and useful modern touches including Chromecast-enabled TVs and The White Company toiletries.

Quarter Bar & Lounge is a relaxed spot for drinks, light meals and afternoon tea, while Londinium serves the hotel’s generous breakfast buffet. One of the greatest perks of staying here is that Borough Market is just around the corner, putting an extraordinary collection of restaurants, cafés and food stalls within minutes of the hotel.

Guests can use a well-equipped fitness room with cardio and strength-training equipment, plus space for stretching and yoga.
