Hilton London Angel Islington ★★★★

As you would expect from the renowned Hilton hotel chain, the rooms are well-designed, comfortable, and relatively spacious for a London hotel. Expect them to be well-equipped and feature all the mod-cons. There's even a gym on-site, should you wish to squeeze in a workout session. With an unpretentious air and sleek and stylish contemporary décor, this is a perfect base for your trip, whether travelling for business or pleasure.

The hotel’s relaxed Halo Bar and Restaurant offer a delicious buffet breakfast with various cold and cooked options. Plus, it's open all day for drinks and dining with indoor and outdoor seating. The hotel is handily connected to the Business Design Centre – the impressive former Victorian agricultural hall, now a popular conference and exhibition space.

You really are spoilt for choice with a myriad of delicious independent restaurants, cool bars, old historic pubs and fancy cafes to try out, not to mention the many shops and cultural venues on your doorstep. Take in a movie at the famous Screen on the Green, moments from the hotel or wander the pedestrianised Camden Passage with its antique stores and boutique shops. You could easily spend your whole visit exploring this area alone.

Why not take a walk along the iconic Regent's Canal and head west for Camden or east for the hipster borough of Hackney? If you'd rather not walk, jumping on public transport is very easy from here; you'll be just five minutes from the London Underground, which will whisk you into central London. You can also easily access Kings Cross St Pancras, one of the city's main transport hubs that has undergone extensive re-development in the last few years and is surrounded by boutique shops, restaurants and cultural venues. One thing is for sure; you'll never be bored in London.
