Description


Location. The Mad Hatter Hotel is located in the historic Lambeth area of London, England, on the south bank of the River Thames. Major attractions within half a mile of the hotel include the London Eye and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. Waterloo Underground station is 500 metres from the hotel.
Hotel Features. Occupying three floors in a 19th-century building, the Mad Hatter Hotel is air- conditioned and offers wireless Internet access. Staff at the 24-hour front desk can provide safe-deposit boxes.

Breakfast is available each morning (surcharge). If you fancy traditional British food head to the Mad Hatter pub on the ground floor for classic dishes such as Fish and Chips, and Steak and Ale Pie.

Parking is available nearby and costs 15 GBP for 24 hours.

Guestrooms. The 30 guestrooms are individually decorated in contemporary style with coordinated fabrics and dark wood furnishings. The bathrooms have combination tub and showers and hair dryers. Standard amenities include complimentary wireless Internet, coffee/tea makers, cable television and trouser presses.

Expert Tip. The Globe Theatre has been rebuilt twice since Shakespeare's day. The current theatre was unveiled in 1997 and, like the original, is open to the sky, so plays are only performed during the summer. However, guided tours occur year-round.

From London Heathrow Airport (LHR):

Getting there. The Heathrow Express train is the quickest way into London. It departs from the airport every 15 minutes, and takes 15 minutes to reach Paddington Station in central London.

The journey to central London takes approximately one hour, and trains depart every 10 minutes. A one-day travel pass costs 6.30 GBP, including travel to Heathrow (in zone 6). Black taxis cost approximately 50 GBP to central London. Prices are all subject to change.

Getting around. The London Underground (Tube) and buses are the easiest ways to travel within London. Single tickets are expensive, but an electronic Oyster card offers a cheaper fare. Oyster cards can be purchased from ticket offices for 3 GBP (refundable). Daily or weekly travel passes are the most economical way to travel, and are valid on buses, trams, trains, and DLR, as well as on the Underground. Black taxis are available on the streets, but can be expensive. Driving is not recommended for visitors and a congestion charge zone is operated in central London.

Fairly average

Located on the South Bank, the hotel is away from the thriving city centre. It is very close to Southwark tube station though, and only 15 minutes on the bus (cost £2) from Liverpool Street train station. There are a few hidden gems in the way of bars and restaurants on the Cut, and under the nearby railway bridges, and is very handy for the Old Vic theatre and the Tate Modern. Hotel itself is a little isolated in what seems to be an up and coming area that just isn't quite up there yet. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were what you'd expect from one of the older, more tired, Holiday Inn's - not a problem in itself, but the hotel was a good bit more expensive than that. A decent spot for the tourist if you are getting a good rate, but would probably stay more centrally if travelling on business.
