Hilton London Tower Bridge {GBR}
'A detailed planning application for a 250 room newbuild Hilton on the south bank of the Thames between London bridge and Tower bridge'...seems the hotel is part of a mixed use development around a 'major public square' with a 'focal point being a sunken 1000 seat amphitheatre'. The project is due to start at the end of this year for completion autumn 2006. The Hotel will have 'an executive sky lounge with long distance views to the river'.

There is also going to be a new Hilton at Canary Wharf - a very interesting spot directly next to South Quay DLR station. With the Jubilee Line underground station just minutes away and 200+ shops now at Canary Wharf, this will be a good weekend option, especially as I would expect rates to be rock bottom on Fri and Sat. This will also be a 2006 opening I guess.

New Hilton in More London development
FYI
A new Hilton is under construction in the More London (right by the City Hall and Tower Bridge). I just stayed in a flat literaly next to it and it will be quite small. Opening is scheduled for the spring of 2006.

This sounds like the previously announced Hilton London Tower Bridge property. Another one is supposed to open in Canary Wharf and I had thought there was one planned for London Bridge......
I think one can make Gold just staying one night each at all Metro London Hiltons!!

Hilton London Tower Bridge
I just booked several night at a soon-to-be Hilton property for next summer. The hotel is called Hilton Tower Bridge and I got it for $182.62 USD/night which seems good for July in London (2007). Anyone have any ideas about this property? Location?
Thanks much!
Thanks much!

Is that the old Thistle Tower Bridge Hotel? I stayed there in June of 2000. Typical London hotel - nothing exciting IMHO. But it may have been remodelled.

The Hilton London Bridge would be slightly closer to the mark, the property is in the More London complex next door to the GLA building and across the road from London Bridge Station. It is a brand new build and superficailly at any rate resembles the Hilton Canary Wharf.
This hotel does not open until early September 06 and is thus someting of an unknown quantity. The nearest tube station is London Bridge. My guess is that Hilton will adopt a similar concept to that at the Canary Wharf, so I am not expecting great things, but will be staying there in the not too distant future.

I'm confused. Is there a Hilton London Bridge and a Hilton Tower Bridge? Or is the Hilton Tower Bridge just nearer to London Bridge than Tower Bridge? Is it on the north or south side of the river?

Its called Hilton London Tower Bridge - 5 More London Place, SE1
Follow the link to photos - http://www.photobox.co.uk/album/3619597 - taken about 6 weeks ago, the bedroom (a mock-up, in a building down the road) is of a standard type room, the location is a great alternative to the West end Hiltons or Paddington and Edgware road.
