A child free night away

We had a truly lovely stay at the London SL. The staff were friendly and nicely attentive and assisted us in reserving a relaxing few hours in the spa and a space in the bar for a night cap. The room was beautiful and the view from there and the bathroom was fabulous. Thank you!
