Conveniently located near to quintessential London, amidst an array of pillar red phone booths and double decker buses, a hotel near Tower Bridge will put you in a pivotal point for exploring London’s cultural hot spots.
Local sightseeing opportunities are vast. Infamous picture-perfect London landmarks fill the area such as the Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Westminster and St. Paul’s Cathedral, to name a few.
Light-hearted excursions include trips to the SEA LIFE London Aquarium and a trip 135 above the Thames on the prominent London Eye.
If you love to hit the museums on city breaks then your tastes are definitely catered for. Just a short walk away from your hotel near Tower Bridge, you will find the Imperial War Museum as well as the Florence Nightingale Museum.
