Where is the Hilton London Bankside?

The Hilton London Bankside is on Great Suffolk street, just off the busy Southwark street and round the corner from Southwark station.

The easiest way to get there is by train, tube or bus. It takes ten minutes to walk to London Blackfriars station which has direct links to Brighton, Cambridge and Bedford.

What is the Hilton London Bankside like?

The hotel is smart and modern with 292 bedrooms – some of which interconnect to meeting rooms.

It is in a great location, being a short walk from Waterloo station, but is tucked away so you won’t be woken up by the city noises at night.

It was also the first hotel to launch a vegan suite, replacing the leather with pineapple cellulose.

And you can expect the food to be just as sustainable and fresh – they produce their own honey and grow their own herbs and vegetables.

What is there to do at the Hilton London Bankside?

There is an onsite gym. Otherwise, the hotel is just a short walk from popular London attractions, including the Tate Modern.

The London Eye is also close by and an absolute must for tourists, with incredible views of the capital’s skyline.

The Distillery is a former gin distillery, so it has more than 100 to choose from as well as an extensive cocktail list.

Dinner highlights are the mushroom arancini, chicken and truffle potatoes and chocolate delice.

The Oxbo offers a buffet-style breakfast, but the highlight is the weekend brunch which lets you pick your “starter” of eggs, waffles or pancakes followed by mains such as cod or chicken, and dessert – you can make it bottomless booze, too.

What are the rooms like at the Hilton London Bankside?

They are surprisingly large for London and contemporary but cosy.

Beds feature 250-thread sheets, with reading lights and USB sockets beside them.

There is a mini-fridge as well as a tea and coffee station and you can relax in the robe and slippers while enjoying the large bathroom with walk-in rainfall shower.
