The Ritz London

The Ritz London is at 150 Piccadilly. It sits a five-minute walk from the tea counters of Fortnum & Mason and is equidistant from the transit hub of Piccadilly Circus.

The hotel keeps a formality that much of the surrounding city has discarded. While neighbouring storefronts focus on the rapid turnover of West End visitors, the building holds to a traditional, heavy-set rigour. It is dressier than the galleries and cafes that line the rest of the street, making it the better choice if you want to avoid the casual pace of the nearby Green Park crowds.
