London, the history-rich capital of the United Kingdom, is a multi-cultural gem of art and culture, bursting at the seams with iconic landmarks, from the Tower of London to St Paul’s Cathedral. Here, world-class museums and art galleries collide with renowned theatres and performance spaces, nestled amongst incredible dining options, atmospheric old pubs and vibrant nightlife. A stay at the Mercure London Bridge puts you at the heart of it, a perfect choice whether travelling for business or leisure.
Ideally located just South of the River Thames, in the popular Bankside area, the Mercure London Bridge is a top spot for making the most of London. With excellent transport links, including Southwark and London Bridge stations, it’s also within easy walking distance of many attractions – a 30 minute walk to Covent Garden or 15 minutes to St Paul’s Cathedral over the Millenium Bridge. There is no better way to soak up the city atmosphere than walking through its streets.
History abounds in every direction, starting with London Bridge itself. Once upon a time, it was the city's only entrance point and is the oldest crossing point in London – even English nursery Rhymes have been written about it. 5 minutes away is the famed Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, a realistic true-to-history reconstruction of the original Elizabethan playhouse, first built in 1599 for which William Shakespeare wrote his plays. At the time of the original theatre's existence, this side of the river was full of actors, brothels, and bear baiting, but it's changed a little since then.
The Mercure London Bridge has been designed with comfort at the forefront, with its simple yet elegant décor and a fun retro twist. Your well-equipped rooms come with double glazing to ensure a quiet escape from the bustling city, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. Dine at the excellent on-site restaurant Marco's New York Italian, courtesy of celebrity Chef Marco Pierre White. With breakfast also available, start your day suitably fuelled for a day in the city, tuck into the hot and cold buffet, or select from the à-la-carte options. Plus, with a small fitness centre accessible, you can keep up with your exercise routine during your stay.
