So said Samuel Johnson in 1777 and the quote is as true as ever. For over 800 years London has been developing into one of the most international and cosmopolitan capitals in the world.
Spreading along the banks of the River Thames life has spilled beyond the original ‘square mile’ creating numerous districts each with their own distinct character and each offering fine examples of life’s rich pleasures. The West End is of course famous for excellent theatre, Westminster for politics and our unique pageantry. But other areas are more evolutionary. The City, London’s financial heart, is developing an alter ego with emerging areas such as Borough Market, a gourmand centre known as ‘London’s larder’.
Hoxton in North London now has a conglomeration of cutting edge art galleries, leading the world movement in contemporary art. In Knightsbridge, our own luxurious hotel address, you will find an elegant area with some of London’s most fashionable shopping and homes. Minutes from The Royal Albert Hall, stage to symphonic productions, the Royal Court’s avante garde theatre, the museums of Exhibition road and the royal park, staying at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, you can indeed find all that life affords.
We look forward to welcoming you to our distinguished residence in London.
