Formerly the private gardens of Kensington Palace, Kensington Gardens, alongside Hyde Park are one of London’s most popular green areas. Both are a short walk from the Elysee Hotel.

The Albert Hall For culture vultures, Kensington’s Albert Hall plays host to classical concerts, ballet and opera. In addition to this, it is also the venue forthe famous summer proms.

Thames River Cruise Why not take a river cruise on the Thames? With a Thames Clipper River Roamer ticket, you can jump on and off whenever you please allowing you to see all of the attractions along the banks of this famous river.

The London Eye At over 135m tall, the London eye is the tallest Ferris wheel in the world. Offering spectacular views all over the city, it allows you to see the capital’s skyline in style. Construction of the attraction was commissioned as part of London’s millennium celebrations, alongside the ill-fated dome. In contrast to the dome, however, it proved to be a huge success, so much so that it has become one of London’s top attractions.

The Houses of Parliament and 10 Downing Street A short distance from the Elysee Hotel, the historic houses of Parliament attract millions of visitors every year. The iconic door of the Prime Minister’s famous residence, 10 Downing Street is also just a short walk away from the hotel.
