Strand Palace is very well located and you can go to the South Bank and walk alongside the river Thames, to Covent Garden and the West End, to Trafalgar Square to Leicester Square and Chinatown! I had a superior single room and it was spacious, very clean and extremely comfy! I slept like a baby. The breakfast offers such a range and it's delicious from English to Continental. amazingly I wasn't too bothered by the noise as my room gave into the main road but again it's part of living and staying in the city. The staff was amazing, so friendly and approachable and always ready to help you. I'd recommend to anyone coming to stay in London. There are a ton of eatery places around the hotel so you won't be starving and it's all walking distance. Overall I had a great experience!!
