Book London Hotels

Originally a convent garden, Inigo Jones built a piazza here in the 1630's modeled on those he had seen in Italy creating London's first public square. A former fruit and veg market it has now blossomed in to a pot-pourri of shops, stalls and restaurants in the square itself and the nest of narrow surrounding streets. It is probably the best place in London to see free entertainment; you will also find the London Transport and Theatre Museums' here.

Underground: Piccadilly Line

Bus Routes: 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, 15, 19, 23, 25, 26, 38, 55, 68, 67, 91, 98, 168, 171, 176, 188, 242, 501, 505, 521

 

Connections for The West End: Tube and bus connections in the West End to the rest of London are excellent. If you are flying into Heathrow Airport, you can take the Airbus or Underground Piccadilly Line. With buses a good number to remember is 15, this will take you round the major tourist attractions at a much cheaper price than an official sight seeing tour!
