“The location, just off Whitehall, puts one in the heart of London, steps from Trafalgar Square. I was particularly drawn to the design, which weaves the building's police history into quirky, elegant interiors. The 40 Elephants Bar, named after the notorious female crime gang, offers a unique touch.”

My room included nice toiletries and fluffy towels. The restaurant Eksedt at the Yard served AMAZING cocktails. The lovely lady at breakfast greeted me warmly each morning.

The accounting system seemed chaotic, and the bill required careful review. I had to monitor charges closely to ensure accuracy. I requested a call with the manager but it never came.
