The Athenaeum Hotel
 London

What To Do In London

From its position in the upmarket West End part of the city, the Athenaeum puts you in touch with a vast selection of London’s best-loved and most famous sights, attractions, museums and parks. Notably, the hotel is set on the edge of Green Park, while also nearby are St James Park as well as the vast Hyde Park which is situated a little to the north-west, the other side of Park Lane.
Of course, the West End is known largely for its theatres, performances and entertainment which is high in quality the year round. Many famous visitors grace the stages of this part of London, with all the major productions reaching their way to the venues.

You can’t travel far from the five-star Athenaeum before stumbling upon a national treasure or well-known monument. If you are looking to tour the city why not make the most of the Walk Talk Tour guides which will informatively guide you around the capital on one of five specially designed walks.

Take in sights such as the London Eye which rises 450 feet over the Thames, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey which are just over the river on the north side of the Thames. The London Dungeon is a particularly popular place to visit for people of all ages and is just around the corner from the HMS Belfast battleship, now moored up on the south bank of the river. A little further along the Thames is Tower Bridge, while next to the famous bridge is the home to the crown jewels, the Tower of London.
Popular museums include the Science Museum, the Natural History Museum and the British Museum, while the Madame Tussaud’s waxworks, set near the Sherlock Holmes associated Baker Street, are also among the hotspots.
