INSANE: The ampersand london hotel review - The Real Truth

This calm, characterful hotel in South Kensington offers rooms inspired by the famous museums that surround it, Mediterranean-style dining in a cool subterranean space, and innovative afternoon teas that are anything but cookie-cutter selections

Location

South Kensington is London’s cultural jewellery box, home to grand museums – the Natural History Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), and the Science Museum – elegant garden squares, and cafes humming with conversation. Beyond the doorstep, it’s easy to reach other parts of the city from South Kensington Tube station (which is on the District and Piccadilly lines); you’ll reach Covent Garden in 12 minutes (for the city’s theatres and boutique shopping), and the financial heart of the City in under 20.
