When work calls & you need to be near the financial district of London, the 196 Bishopsgate Hotel is nice & handy for staying a couple of days or more. Even if you're looking for a base for touring London, this hotel won't lose out to those in more touristy areas like Paddington or Bayswater. It is just opposite Liverpool Street Station in the City of London so the tubes will take care of transportation. Broadgate, Petticoat Lane & the West End are all nearby, & you can simply stroll to the River Thames. With the 196 Bishopsgate Hotel, your dining options include, but are not limited to, a self-prepared meal from your apartment's fully equipped kitchen & checking out the bars & restaurants in the nearby Hoxton & Shoreditch districts. Cooking is convenient as there's a Tesco supermarket just steps away, otherwise, you can pay for the hotel's grocery shopping service. There are a total of 48 serviced residences at the hotel, all beautifully decorated & generous on space. Bathrooms are marble-clad too!
