The best hotels in Central London<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Where Big Ben, royal pageantry and bucket-list landmarks meet \u2013 the city\u2019s show-stealing heart for travellers who want it all on their doorstep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Royal Horseguards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Setting the bar high, The Royal Horseguards invites you to walk in the footsteps of statesmen and secret agents: this riverside grande dame<\/a>, next to the old Scotland Yard site, was a wartime base for Winston Churchill and the MI5. Sweeping staircases, marble halls and gilded detailing set the tone for a regal stay, with Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye all within a 10-minute walk away. Dine like a royal at One Twenty One Two Restaurant, enjoy a traditional cream tea at The Green Parlour (a lounge dedicated entirely to afternoon tea), and, should the weather permit, sip bubbly al fresco at The Terrace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
