Description

[ DE ]  [ EN ]  
Tucked away just north of Russell Square on the edge of Bloomsbury is a half-circle of Georgian town-houses (built c. 1807) overlooking Cartwright Gardens, once the homes of the rich but many of them now converted to hotels. Cartwright Gardens was named in honour of John Cartwright, a political reformer and military officer, who supported independence to the colonies (including America) and refused to fight against them. A bronze statue of Cartwright now sits in the park in the neighbourhood where he once lived. This is the perfect location for a stay in London - quiet but within walking distance of the British Museum and the West End, ideal for theatres and shopping. If you prefer to use the tube, the hotel is only 2 stops from Oxford Circus and Covent Garden and only 3 stops from Leicester Square. All bedrooms in the George have cable T.V. with free movie and sports channels, direct-dial phone, radio, trouser press and tea/coffee-making facilities. The prices include a full, traditional English breakfast that’s guaranteed to fill you up. They will happily give you another breakfast free if you’re still hungry!
