The luxurious 5* Rubens at The Palace Hotel occupies a superb location, overlooking the Royal Mews and just a 5-minute walk from Buckingham Palace. It is also a great base from which to explore many of London`s best-known landmarks including Westminster Abbey and Big Ben which are approximately 20 minutes walk away. St James Park is 6 minutes on foot and a leisurely 25 minute walk through the park will bring you to Piccadilly Circus and London`s Theatreland. Alternatively, Victoria Station is a 5 minute walk from the hotel with underground links to Oxford Circus, the capital`s best known shopping area, and onwards from there to the hustle and bustle Leicester Square and Covent Garden. More Info.
