Area information
|
Just a short walk away from the hotel, Hyde Park is one of the Royal Parks of London and was once the hunting ground for Henry VIII. It is one of the largest parks in London and well known for its Speaker's Corner, the Serpentine Lake and Rotten Row. The park is contiguous with Kensington Gardens, but is technically separate.
Also nearby is Oxford Street, London's busiest shopping street, with a mile of shops ranging from department stores such as John Lewis and DH Evans, to top music shops such as HMV and Virgin, to well known book shops. Selfridges is, however, the most famous shop on the street. It was built by an American, Gordon Selfridge in 1909.
A short tube ride away you will find the British Museum, one of the world's largest and most important museums of human history and culture. The British Museum houses over 7 million objects illustrating and documenting the story of human culture from its beginning to the present. Entrance to the museum is free.
