Not many London hotels can claim a place in literary history. But The Kingsley certainly can. Named after Charles Kingsley, author of the classics Westward Ho! and The Water Babies, it was once home to EM Forster, one of the famous 'Bloomsbury Group', who worked on A Room with a View while living here. And from The Kingsley, you'll have a wonderful perspective on the capital too. From the hotel, London landmarks like the British Museum, Covent Garden, Oxford Street, the leafy squares of Bloomsbury and the West End theatres are within easy walking distance. We have 129 bedrooms, including Deluxe and Executive rooms and Junior Suite. With seven meeting rooms, the largest seating 100 people theatre-style, and six syndicate rooms, The Kingsley is an ideal setting for business meetings and events; we're also a popular London wedding venue. London isn't the easiest place to bring a car, but there's parking available nearby at an additional charge. Whether you're in London for work or pleasure, The Kingsley's blend of contemporary comforts and Edwardian charm is definitely something to write home about.

Fantastic Stay!

The Kingsley by Thistle is perfectly located in the heart of the beautiful Covent Gardens section of London. The room I had was very well kept, and included everything I needed for a great stay. Room cleanliness was among the best that I have experienced. All staff that I interacted with were extremely courteous and very professional. The only critique I would offer is; if you are a light sleeper, try to stay away from the first floor rooms, as their proximity to the busy street may be a disruption to your beauty sleep. All-in-all, I would definitely stay at the Kinglsey again - even on the first floor.
