Clean, modern, and easy access to Docklands light rail. ##### Frederick Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Corinthia London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Corinthia-London.h3849185.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel Finsbury Park, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Maldron-Finsbury-Park-London.h92328087.Hotel-Information) > > [Zedwell Piccadilly Circus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Zedwell-Piccadilly-Trocadero.h42297074.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La The Shard, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Shangri-La-The-Shard.h8035714.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, London Euston Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Grafton-Hotel.h608.Hotel-Information) > > [Staycity Aparthotels, London, Greenwich High Road](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Staycity-Aparthotels-Greenwich-High-Road.h7065398.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Conference-Centre.h12391.Hotel-Information) > > [One Hundred Shoreditch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-One-Hundred-Shoreditch.h1058226.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel London Croydon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-London-Croydon.h866550.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo London Heathrow Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-London-Heathrow-Airport.h570358.Hotel-Information) > > [Yotel London City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-YOTEL-Clerkenwell.h48296903.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cumberland, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Cumberland.h21659.Hotel-Information) > > [Point A Hotel London Kings Cross – St Pancras](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Point-A-Hotel-London-Kings-Cross-St-Pancras.h5173526.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure London Heathrow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Mercure-London-Heathrow-Hotel.h17586.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal London Tower Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-Tower-Bridge.h4190769.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cavendish London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Cavendish-London.h13891.Hotel-Information) > > [NYX Hotel London Holborn by Leonardo Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-NYX-Hotel-London-Holborn-By-Leonardo-Hotels.h579374.Hotel-Information) > > [Montcalm Royal London House, London City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Montcalm-Royal-London-House-City-Of-London.h12703815.Hotel-Information) > > [art'otel London Battersea Power Station powered by Radisson Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-ArtOtel-London-Battersea-Power-Station.h83011268.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel London City - Tower of London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-City-Tower-Hill.h530052.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel & Conference Centre London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Conference-Centre-London.h48444523.Hotel-Information) > > [RUBY LUCY HOTEL LONDON by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Ruby-Lucy.h42041893.Hotel-Information) > > [Plaza London Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Plaza-London-Hotel.h4969048.Hotel-Information) > > [Aerotel London Heathrow Airport Terminal 2-3](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Aerotel-London-Heathrow-T2-T3.h21528024.Hotel-Information) > > [The Dilly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Dilly.h21538.Hotel-Information) > > [At Sloane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-At-Sloane.h96814724.Hotel-Information) > > [Karma Sanctum Soho](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Karma-Sanctum-Soho.h2543847.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Scotland Yard Hotel, part of Hyatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-GREAT-SCOTLAND-YARD.h38904937.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal London St Paul’s](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-St-Pauls.h1457972.Hotel-Information) ---
