Radisson Blu Edwardian Leicester Square

Something Exciting is Coming.
We have now closed to make way for a new luxury lifestyle resort coming in 2017.

During WW2, the British Museum stored its treasures in a branch of the Piccadilly line - including the Elgin Marbles

In 2001, the Underground introduced a fragrance called 'Madeleine' to three stations. It was discontinued the next day, after passengers complained of feeling ill

The underground scenes for 'Skyfall' were filmed at night at a Charing Cross station, over several months

Did you know?? The tube travels 43 million miles every twelve months. That's almost half-way to the sun

Did you know?? The Victoria Line was originally going to be called the Viking Line

Did you know?? There is a ghost station between Tottenham Court Road and Holborn. It's called the British Museum and hasn't been used since 1932

London's underground service is one of the most popular ways to travel around the city... But we bet you didn't know some of these fun facts.....

This month saw the start of the Anarchy and Beauty exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery exploring the life and ideas of William Morris. We definitely recommend popping in if you are staying with us... it’s only a two minute walk away after all!

We will be entering Greenwich Mean Time this weekend, so for all of our guest don’t forget you will have an hour extra in bed on Sunday when the clocks go back!

This year’s NFL Fan Rally returns to Trafalgar Square tomorrow. If you're an Atlanta Falcons' fan we hear its not to be missed!

Are you staying at the Leicester Square hotel this weekend and looking for something to do? Why not visit the Virginia Woolf exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery. It is no more than a 5 minute walk from our doorstep and is set to be an interesting insight into the lesser none aspect of the authors life.

Out of ideas of what to do tonight in central London? How about trying something different from the usual bars and clubs and head to the Natural History Museum. Open late until 10pm this evening you can enjoy free entry to the Central Hall and even grab a drink with a scientist at the Science Bar in the Darwin Centre Café.

Our location on Leicester Square is excellent if you love the cinema!! Did you know that The 1st talking picture ever shown in Britain was The Singing Fool at the Piccadilly Theatre in 1928... right on our doorstep!

We think we could not be in a better location for all of this miserable weather as going to the theatre is a great option to keep us out of the rain! With several new shows soon to be making their way to the West End now is definitely time to start booking up those tickets!
Forbidden Broadway is hitting the Vaudeville Theatre on the 9th September and is set to keep you entertained with a lampoon of Broadway shows and stars of the day.

Fantastic family weekend in London seeing the sights completed by a relaxed and luxurious stay in this beautiful hotel. The location cannot be beaten and the staff were attentive without being overpowering. The breakfast was brilliant with something for everyone and a fantastic way to start the busy day. Highly recommend this place.

Arrived with my sister and Niece for her 18th. Lovely surprise as was brought a bottle of Prosecco to room foc!! Nice touch! Staff very friendly, helpful, sorted taxi's etc etc !! Couldn't do enough. Central to everything and not at all noisy!! Nice room with tea and coffee and bottles of water. Overall very impressed! Would defo come again ����

Härligt bra hotell. Bra frukostbuffé och bra service. Ligger centralt och nära. Kanon.

The service was nice, but the dinner was very bad the meat was not cooked very nicely and the cartoons are not peeled at all :(

I've not even got to the hotel yet and my experience is extremely negative. I rang customer service for a query with my booking and spoke to Antonio who was rude and abrupt. After asking to speak to someone else I was transferred to Mamoon who had the worst customer service skills I have come across in a long time. I stayed on the telephone trying to sort my query but was basically told "goodbye" and the telephone put down. Totally dreading staying here if my first impressions are anything to go by! How very disappointing
