Where to Stay?

There is a good and varied selection of hotels near The Garden, from the top end splendour of The Great Eastern at Liverpool Street and the wonderful new Hotel St Gregory, to places a little further down the scale like Holiday Inn Express and its cronies. A selection is as follows:

Conran Boundary
2-4 Boundary Street, Shoreditch, London E2 7JE
Tel:(0)20 7729 1051
Website: www.theboundary.co.uk

Opened in 2009, The Boundary is a unique and very trendy warehouse conversion featuring a 17-bed hotel, bar, restaurant and rooftop terrace. There's a very green theme throughout, plus an impressive range of contemporary artwork.


Andaz Liverpool Street London Hotel
Liverpool Street, London EC2M 7QN
Tel:(020) 7961 1234
Website: london.liverpoolstreet.andaz.com

Loitering at the luxurious end of the scale the Andaz Liverpool Street boasts: widescreen TV, ergonomic workstations with dataports, queen and king-sized beds, swanky furnishings, a DVD library and host of other quality amenities. Their website's suitably flashy but not that easy to navigate, while it's currently unclear whether or not your clothes have to match the decor (see photo). Approximately 20 minutes walk.


Crown Plaza Shoreditch
100 Shoreditch High St, London E1 6JQ
Tel: 08707 544 447

Formerly the renowned 'Hotel Saint Gregory', 100 Shoreditch High Street now comes in the form of a 4-star Crown Plaza. A six-minute walk exactly (!) from London's Liverpool Street station, this high-standard hotel is brilliantly positioned for the bustling East End, Miloco's Square and Garden studios, and inner-city and National Rail train connections.



The Hoxton Hotel
81 Great Eastern Street, London EC2A 3HU
Tel: (020) 7550 1000

A new venture from the Pret A Manger empire, the hotel is said to be "where urban living meets country lodge lounging." They boast "roaring fires and cool cocktails, Frette linen and flat screen TV's." There's a great bar and restaurant too and, rather fabulously, "amazing cheap rates."
