One of the best things about staying in London hotels for visitors to Britain is that you are never more than a couple of hours away from some of the most popular tourist destinations in the UK. For example, if you are enjoying a week in one of the many London city centre hotels, you are just over two hours away from Liverpool, the birthplace of The Beatles and the city which gave the world a pop revolution.

You could leave your central London hotels for a day and take a train on the West Coast line to Liverpool and visit the world famous Cavern Club, the venue where John, Paul, George and Ringo began their careers. If pop music isn’t your cup of tea, there are hundreds of things to see less than a couple of hours from the London hotels. For example, you could take a trip to Stonehenge, the monument which dominates Salisbury Plain.

You can decide for yourself whether the standing stones were a place of Sun worship, a sacred burial site or just the most amazing folly ever built by man! Whatever it’s original intention was, Stonehenge was erected between 3,000 BC and 1,600 BC, so you will be able to view ancient history just a couple of hours away from the hotels in London you are staying in. Of course, you can always stay in the city itself, because there are some amazing places to visit just a few minutes walk from most London city hotels and meeting venues in London.

There is – quite literally - something for everyone in London, which perhaps explains why it is one of the most visited cities on earth. If history is your thing, then there are hundreds of museums for you to visit, as well as buildings which have seen major events unfold over the centuries. Then of course, there are the Royal Palaces, a must see for everyone who is staying in London hotels.
 
If you are thinking of London city centre hotels for your stay, this will mean that you are right at the heart of things, allowing you to get out and about looking at the palaces which have grown up over different periods of British history.

The number of separate buildings, and additions to older Palaces has meant that the variety of architecture is truly impressive to see. There have been some losses, for example Henry VIII's bedrooms at Hampton Court, but the Georgian additions to this palace go some way to making up for this.

The most famous building in London is Buckingham Palace, which was built in 1705. It didn’t become the London home of the sovereign until 1837, when Queen Victoria moved in. If you choose one of the many city of London hotels for your stay, you will be just minutes away from this and many other historic palaces. Just as there is something for everyone in this city, there are hotels in London to suit everyone as well, so book your accommodation and enjoy your visit.
