Sitting firmly in the heart of the City of London is the luxury South Place Hotel. Perfect for executives needing quick access to the main business district of London and while maintaining a luxurious standard of accommodation. Dont confuse the City of London with central London; they are two different locations around 1.5 miles apart. This is very much the business district although a lot of business also takes place in the Docklands/Canary Wharf area some 3 miles to the east. The area has much to offer with plenty of shops, clubs and amenities but the nature of the district means its much quieter on weekends when many workers leave London for the suburbs. Without a doubt Friday night is the best night for night life as office workers end their week. One of the major attractions in London is only 0.2 miles away and that is the Barbican arts centre where there is always some event taking place. The Exchange Shopping centre is only 0.4 miles to the south and its only slightly further to the shops and cafes of One New Change. Just a 250 yard walk from the South Place hotel is Exchange Square which is a bustling piazza with its English lawn. Events are regularly held here.
Of course one of the big pluses to this location is being just a quarter of a mile from one of the big 5 stations in London, Liverpool Street Station. With connections all over London (though Moorgate tube is even closer for local links) the station hosts the Stansted Express service direct to Stansted Airport. You also have connections to the Eurostar service which will take you direct to Paris in France.
