The benefits of being here are simply too numerous to list - suffice it to say that if your interests are in any way cultural or gastronomic you are where you need to be if you are visiting London! You are within a short walk of (amongst hundreds of other things) The Royal Opera, The British Museum,The National Gallery,Royal Festival Hall, National Theatre, Colosseum Theatre, Tin-Pan Alley, Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Sqaure, House of Parliament, Big Ben, St Paul's Cathedral, Oxford Street with the famous Selfridges department store and all the other british shops and so much more.......
Being at the centre of the centre of ‘Theatrical London’ means of course that transport links are superb and the range of shopping is mind-boggling.
There are 5 underground stations, all lines are within 5-15 minutes walk, many bus routes & of course the famous Black Cab taxis.
The Covent Garden (Piccadilly to Heathrow airport line) & Leicester Square Underground ("tube") are both around the corner (half a black away) & 10 minutes to Holborn(Central & Piccadilly lines). Also Embankment (circle and district lines) and Charing Cross (Bakerloo & Northern lines). Plus at Charing Cross trains to many parts of Great Britain.
