Love the pool. Can fit 3 swimmers lapping. It got busy one morning around 7am. Water seems a little slightly salted.

Breakfast at OXBO is great. The salad bar, cold cut side reminded me a little of Hilton Singapore Orchard.

Executive Lounge food and wine selection are mediocre. One night, there were only purely vegetarian dishes and the guests moaned at the lack of meat! Lounge staff are very friendly though. Always going around the room to refill more wine.

I originally had reserved Hilton London Tower Bridge. So I walked there last night from this hotel just to check out the surroundings. HLTB is definitely buzzing with more night life but I prefer the quieter side of The Bankside in the evenings.

Will stay here again in the future.
Same, I don’t mind the walk to Borough Market for a bite at Padella or Swift Borough for an Irish coffee or Sgroppino.
