London is the capital and largest urban area of both England and the United Kingdom. An important settlement for two millennia, London's history goes back to its founding by the Romans. Since its foundation, London has been part of many movements and phenomena throughout history, including the English Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, and the Gothic Revival.[citation needed] The city's core, the ancient City of London, still retains its limited medieval boundaries; but since at least the 19th century, the name "London" has also referred to the whole metropolis that has developed around it. Today the bulk of this conurbation forms the London region of England and the Greater London administrative...
... area, with its own elected mayor and assembly.
London is one of the world's leading business, financial and cultural centres and its influence in politics, education, entertainment, media, fashion and the arts contribute to its status as a major global city. Central London is the headquarters of more than half of the UK's top 100 listed companies (the FTSE 100) and over 100 of Europe's 500 largest companies. The city is a major tourist destination both for domestic and overseas visitors, with annual expenditure by tourists of around £15 billion.
London boasts four World Heritage Sites: the Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey and St. Margaret's Church; the Tower of London; the historic settlement of Greenwich; and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
London's population draws from a wide range of peoples, cultures, and religions, and over 300 languages are spoken within the city. As of 2006, it had an official population of 7,512,400 within the boundaries of Greater London[2] and is the most populous municipality in the European Union. As of 2001, the Greater London Urban Area had a population of 8,278,251and the metropolitan area is estimated to have a total population of between 12 and 14 million. The public transport network, administered by Transport for London, is one of the most extensive in the world, and Heathrow Airport is the busiest airport in the world for international traffic.

As we are very close to Victoria coach station which is the central coach hub, in most cases it is in your interests to take a coach as it is more economical and direct.
Stansted: Many budget airlines fly to Stansted from where you can get a National express coach or a Terravision coach to Victoria station which is only 2 minutes walk from the hotel. We recommend taking a coach rather than the train as it is cheaper and direct.
Gatwick: From Gatwick airport we recommend the direct express train to Victoria station which is only 5 minutes walk from the hotel. The coach option is a little longer due to the distance.
Heathrow: Victoria underground station is reachable from Heathrow Airport by underground. There are also coaches to Victoria. Avoid the Paddington express train as it is an expensive option.
Luton: National express run coaches from Luton airport to Victoria coach station which is only 2 minutes walk away.
City: Victoria underground station is reachable from London City Airport by underground.
The shortest and easiest route is as follows:
Directions from Victoria Coach Station
Walk straight along Elizabeth Bridge leading to St Georges Drive.
At the next traffic light junction with Warwick Way turn right and the reception is at 115-117 Warwick Way.
Approx 2 minutes walk.
Directions from Victoria rail and underground station
Follow Buckingham Palace Road towards Victoria Coach Station.
At the traffic light turn left on Elizabeth Bridge leading to St Georges Drive.
At the next traffic light junction with Warwick Way turn right and the reception is at 115-117 Warwick Way.
Approx 6 minutes walk.
Avoid Taking Wilton Road and then Warwick Way as it will take over 20 minutes.
