The Kingsley a Thistle Hotel (formerly Thistle Bloomsbury), London

With a superb location, right in the heart of London’s Bloomsbury, the hotel blends fine Edwardian architecture and old-world charm with modern comforts and amenities.

Endless possibilities and all that the capital has to offer awaits guests of Thistle Bloomsbury.
