Hotels Near Waterloo Station London & County Hall

Hotels on the South Bank of the River Thames

County Hall London
London Eye + County Hall (home of Premier Inn County Hall and Marriott County Hall)

Hotels near Waterloo Station and County Hall are slowly becoming more plentiful and reasonably priced. The south bank of the River Thames has only recently started to attract hotels of any sort. The impetus was started by the arrival of the Eurostar trains at Waterloo, (now moved to St Pancras) and establishment of some major visitor attractions like the London Eye, Tate Modern and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.


There are no really cheap accommodations in this district. The hotels tend to be large chain hotels, predominantly luxury 4 star hotels like Marriott and Park Plaza or 'no frills' budget chain hotels like Premier Inn, Travelodge or Holiday Inn Express.


The fact that the area has been a late developer as a hotel district is probably not a bad thing. The district doesn't revolve around the needs of tourists like some other areas and most people will enjoy a more authentic taste of London. Location is very good, most hotels are strung along or very near the River Thames. Walk across the River Thames and you are in the heart of London or walk along the south bank of the Thames as far as Tower Bridge, a great and free way to see London.

Because this area is not dependent on leisure visitors, many hotels in the area are much cheaper at the weekends. At the weekends the four star hotels aimed at business people here especially deep discount.
