Stroll through London

A city full of culture, history and surprises is waiting for you right here on ME London Hotel’s front doorstep. So get your coat because it’s time to take a stroll around the city’s bustling theatre-land and the iconic Thames waterfront.

Since the early 20th century this iconic theatre has hosted some of the globe’s most beloved performances, from West Side Story to Rent, meaning you can expect to see some of the most talked about shows performed by the hottest talent in this, London’s largest independent theatre.

An oasis of open-air calm above the busy and bustling streets of the West End, ME London’s Radio rooftop is always a good bet for a post-theatre tipple. Sip on the expertly crafted cocktails smug in the knowledge that your room is just steps away.

Blink and you might miss the redwashed door of this favourite cocktail hangout in the midst of Chinatown’s bustle. But while outside may be hectic, inside is a masterclass in town house Parisian cool with, as the name suggests, inventive and suave cocktails to match.

Another hard-to-find door, keep your eyes peeled for the blindfolded pig to enter this speakeasy-style bar. You’ll be rewarded with cocktail concoctions masterminded by World Class UK bartender of the year Gareth Evans, served alongside some delicious bites and jars of snacks.

Considered one of London’s most popular visual arts centres, this riverside hotspot is a hub of creativity and entertainment, hosting anything from dance performances in the Royal Festival Hall, to spoken word recitals in the Poetry Library and art exhibitions in the Hayward Gallery.

One for the wine lovers—this intimate wine bar hidden within the stone arch beneath Embankment station is a London institution. Candles flicker against the bare brick walls and glasses click with the fine selection of red, white and sparkling vintages.

BFI Theatre

The British Film Institute’s flagship, four-screen venue is a London cinematic landmark. Housing the largest film archive in the country, the BFI undoubtedly leads the way in cinema, showcasing the country’s biggest indie films and classics, as well as screening some of the finest global language films.
