Why stay here
The West End puts the theatres, the shops and most of the famous sights within a walk of each other. It suits a first visit, when you want to see a lot and spend little time on trains.
Rooms are smaller and cost more than elsewhere, so it works best for short breaks of two or three nights.

- The Piccadilly, Northern, Central and Bakerloo lines all stop in the area.
