Thistle Holborn, The Kingsley
Bloomsbury Way, Holborn WC1A 2SD
Holborn, London, United Kingdom
4 Star Hotel
A classic Edwardian hotel near Covent Garden close to many top London attractions.
Not many London hotels can claim a place in literary history. But The Kingsley certainly can. Named after Charles Kingsley, author of the classics Westward Ho! and The Water Babies, it was once home to EM Forster, one of the famous ‘Bloomsbury Group’, who worked on A Room with a View while living here.
And from The Kingsley, you’ll have a wonderful perspective on the capital too. From the hotel, London landmarks like the British Museum, Covent Garden, Oxford Street, the leafy squares of Bloomsbury and the West End theatres are within easy walking distance.
With 129 bedrooms, including Deluxe and Executive rooms and a Junior Suite, this Covent Garden hotel is a perfect base to explore London. With seven meeting rooms, the largest seating 100 people theatre-style, and six syndicate rooms, The Kingsley is an ideal setting for business meetings and events; we’re also a popular London wedding venue. London isn’t the easiest place to bring a car, but there’s parking available nearby at an additional charge.
Whether you’re in London for work or pleasure, The Kingsley’s blend of contemporary comforts and Edwardian charm is definitely something to write home about.

Check-in date:
“ This hotel was a winner from the moment we stepped inside. We were warmly welcomed by the receptionist and this friendliness continued throughout the hotel. The room was clean and modern with a very comfortable bed. The hotel was perfectly located for our evening at the theatre. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone coming to London to see a show.
“ Top Tip: After the theatre we went to Italian Kitchen New Oxford Street to eat. The food was excellent and the staff very friendly.
