Apex City of London Hotel

An eye-catching hotel with a modern, environmentally-friendly design, the Apex is located near the Tower of London. The atmosphere is quiet, but close enough to the tube to not feel out of the way. And eight minutes from here, across the river to the south, is art lover's destination Tate Modern and, just further along, Wed–Sat food-porn destination Borough Market [see entries]. The chain operates two other London boutique establishments: Apex Temple Court Hotel (1–2 Serjeant's Inn, Fleet Street) and Apex London Wall Hotel (7–9 Copthall Ave).
