Batty Langley's  

In the heart of Spitalfields in central London — a 5-star guesthouse set inside a 300-year-old townhouse. Steps from Dennis Severs' House and Old Spitalfields Market, with Brick Lane, Liverpool Street, The Gherkin and the Tower of London all within easy walking distance.

Characterful rooms are individually decorated with genuine antiques and period fittings, many named after local figures. Expect heated floors, air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, pillowtop beds with Egyptian cotton and down comforters, bathrobes, laptop-compatible safes, minibars and daily housekeeping.

Unwind in a courtyard garden and on a terrace, browse the library, or host an event in the banquet hall. Complimentary wireless internet and concierge services keep stays smooth — wake up to courtyard-garden mornings and a quiet, historic vibe.

Two meeting rooms, complimentary newspapers in the lobby, dry cleaning and laundry services, plus a 24-hour front desk make this spot business-ready.

There’s an on-site restaurant serving local flavors, a bar/lounge and a snack bar/deli, plus 24-hour room service. Continental breakfast is offered daily from 7:00–11:00 for a fee.
