Town Hall Hotel

London has the country's deepest choice of small, design-led hotels, from restored Georgian houses to quirky townhouse conversions. Many sit in historic neighborhoods where the streets are best explored on foot, with the West End theaters, Borough Market and the Thames all within a short walk or Tube ride.
Where to stay
Clerkenwell and the area around Smithfield suit travelers who like restaurants and old London pubs. Covent Garden and Soho put you in the middle of the theater district, while Mayfair and Belgravia have the more traditional, grander addresses.
Good to know
Rooms are small by international standards, so ask about size when you book. Rates climb during summer and around major events, and weekday business demand keeps prices high in the City.
