GREAT LOCATION
* V centre of London. Many of London’s best sights, restaurants, etc just a short, lovely walk away
* Most theatres within five minute easy stroll
* Street outside, St. Giles High Street, is 2,000 years old main road into London
* Until about 1600, St Giles was small village just outside London
* St. Giles-in-the-Fields church next door, across ancient churchyard. Founded over 900 years ago. You sleep with 900 years of Londoners just 10 yards away. Including Andrew Marvell, author of “To My Coy Mistress”, most seductive poem of all time—so yes, you can say you slept next to Andrew Marvell
* Bells of St. Giles church regularly pealed at dusk or weekends-wonderful sound
* Former public execution site 200 yards away
* At nice pub next door (“The Angel”), condemned given “St Giles Bowl” of alcohol—origin of “one for the road”
* Great Plague of London of 1665 started here, hundreds of victims buried in churchyard 10 yards away
* Do internet search for “St Giles London” for more information—very rich, fascinating history
