After a day of Thames-side sightseeing, watch the sun set over the City’s skyscrapers from your own private terrace – the Chamberlain has some of the most reasonably priced in London. This is a proper pub, but an elegant one, and the decor and specs are better than you might expect: even standard doubles include robes and flat screen TV, and a little more buys an iPod dock and Nespresso machine. Treat yourself: the superior rooms aren’t all that much more expensive.
The best hotels near Tower Bridge reflect its location in transitional territory between London’s institutional centre to the west and its Docklands and inner city to its east: they include smart business digs, a dockside behemoth and a Victorian boozer with rooms. Major roads carve the area up into distinct segments: the tourist mecca of Tower Bridge and the Tower of London – England’s most popular attraction, with reason; an atmospheric section of the City financial district; and the beginnings of Whitechapel in the East End, where London’s arts and Bangladeshi communities collide happily. Take a look below for our pick of the best hotels near Tower Bridge.
