The South East England / Greater London region
Weather is changeable and is part of the attraction of the British Isles. London is a large capital city containing everything the city visitor could wish for.
Just across the Millenium Bridge there is the South Bank complex a 20 min walk away to the right , whilst the Tate Modern and the Globe Theatre enhance the view, with the London Eye around the river bend. The Barbican Arts Complex, home to great music, film and theatre is probably 20 mins walk North.
Central London/Zone 1 area
The new Festival Hall revamp has been completed and there are many festivals on the South Bank with fabulous food, theatre and music, around the South Bank Centre. There are restaurants to cater for all appetites and pockets. One of the best butchers in London is situated in historic Bow Lane, close by. There are clubs for all nighters hidden around thhe City. During the week, the Square Mile is a financial hub, working from such architectural gems as the Lloyds Building and the 'Gherkin'; and the weekend gives a quieter, more leisurely pace centred around St Pauls just up the road. A bus hop or walk along Fleet Street takes you to Covent Garden or perhaps you would prefer to go by boat from one of the many piers. An ideal spot to spend time in either sunshine or rain.
The flat itself is situated in The Square Mile, the historic City of London, home of the ancient Guilds, St Paul's Cathedral and many Wren churches and at the weekend there is even more space to walk in. There are many restaurants, cafes and bars a short walk away, with small food shops, butchers and pastry cooks in plenty. Along the River Walk, about 20 mins to the left , there is the Tower of London.
Or of courss a straight line for a last minute booking to Wimbledon!

Guestbook
"We had a great stay at Queen's Quay in July 2007. The location is superb - a walk along the river to Charing Cross, minutes over the Millennium Bridge to the Tate Modern, and a very short stroll to St Paul's. The apartment itself is pristine, spacious and secure. It is very well equipped, extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated. It has everything one could need, and more, including access to a roof garden with views over the river and across the city. Su had thought of everything to make us welcome: there were even teabags in the teapot ready for us to make a brew after our journey! We did not want to go home and will certainly return. We would recommend the Queen's Quay to anyone. Claire & David from Dublin..."
