Description
The Charing Cross hotel can truly claim to be at the very centre of London: the Eleanor Cross outside is the point from which all road distances to the capital are measured. But it was the railways, rather than the motor car, that brought the first guests here. Completed in 1865, this magnificent hotel near The Strand and Trafalgar Square was built at the height of the Victorian railway boom. The wealth and confidence of the era is reflected in the hotel’s sheer scale and opulence; truly this was the Golden Age of travel.
