Guests arriving by air will find taxis waiting outside each of the city's airports to take visitors into the city centre. Alternatively the Heathrow Express runs to Paddington and takes about 15 minutes, whilst the Gatwick Express takes approximately 30 and arrives at Victoria. As with the airports, there will be taxis waiting at each of the stations. Guests who do not wish to take a taxi and who arrive at Paddington should take the Circle line to Victora and switch to the Victoria line to continue their journey to Vauxhall. Those arriving at Victoria can just take the Victoria line through to Vauxhall, which is the second stop. From Vauxhall tube station the hotel is less than a 10 minute walk north along Albert Embankment. Guests arriving by car will find the hotel easiest by heading toward Hyde Park central London from the M25 and leaving Hyde Park on the South East corner, taking the A302 along Grosvenor Place and following it over the river. From here the hotel will be on Albert Embankment, the first road on the left.
