About this stay
No hotel in London sits closer to Tower Bridge. Opened in 1973 on the north bank between the bridge and St Katharine Docks, this large concrete-terraced landmark trades on one unbeatable asset: rooms that look straight onto the bascules. The interiors are practical rather than plush, and the scale is undeniably corporate — but for travellers who want to step out of the lobby and be on the bridge within a minute, nothing else competes. Ask specifically for a bridge-facing room when you book, as the rear rooms overlook the road.
