The Kingsley by Thistle
Located in Bloomsbury, near Covent Garden, near the British Museum and near Oxford Street, The Kingsley (formerly Thistle Bloomsbury) is a 4 star hotel offering 129 luxury bedrooms. The Kingsley Hotel is located on the Northern, Central and Piccadilly Uunderground Lines , near Holborn and near Tottenham Court Stations, making the Hotel an ideal base for business meetings and special events.
The unique setting of The Kingsley blends contemporary comfort and Edwardian charm, and its luxury bedrooms and affordable rates are definitely something to write home about!
With an eye toward the surrounding Bloomsbury area in London's West End, last year we started an extensive £10 million restoration and refurbishment programme at the hotel which completed in July 2009. The investment has seen our Edwardian façade lovingly restored and bedrooms completely modernised with a vibrant colour palette of rich reds, greys and creams, stylish contemporary furnishings and state of the art technology, including LCD TVs. Post-refurbishment, The Kingsley offers room rate discount deals and special offers to complement the upgrade packages of the Hotel.
The public area of this Bloomsbury hotel features a new restaurant and bar which offers a twist of traditional Edwardian charm with modern furnishings and soft atmospheric lighting. Our 7 meeting rooms and conference facilities haven’t been left untouched either with new stylish contemporary furniture, diverse lighting systems and the highest quality AV equipment, all installed to provide an aspiring and productive environment.
But, it’s not just the aesthetic look of the hotel that’s changed; we’ve also changed the name. Formerly known as Thistle Bloomsbury, the hotel has reverted back to its original name of ‘The Kingsley’ as a mark of its literary heritage to the author Charles Kingsley and the Bloomsbury Set.
The Kingsley Hotel, located on Bloomsbury Way in the West End, offers elegant four star luxury accommodation at decidedly affordable prices.

What's on?
Every year the average age of the audience in London's theatres plummets during Kids Week. Children from five up to 16 years old flock to an unrivalled selection of plays and musicals - either at greatly reduced prices or absolutely free!
On the first Thursday of every month, more than 80 of East London's art galleries stay open until 9pm. Heavyweight galleries such as the White Cube and the Barbican participate alongside smaller independent exhibition spaces, and many stage special events.
Held at London's Clapham Grand by the charitable organisation WEZIMBABWE, the annual Zimfest celebrates all things Zimbabwean. Expats and those just up for a good party come and enjoy the braai, sports, cold beer and excellent live music.
In addition to hosting the BBC Proms Monday lunchtime chamber concerts, in 2010 the Cadogan Hall hosts five Saturday Prom matinées. Starting with Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, they include a nod to birthday-boy Schumann and contemporary music.
Great orchestras from Prague and Berlin - both conducted by British Knights - top and tail the Proms' penultimate week. Two opera companies are also bound for the Royal Albert Hall: Glyndebourne in its annual visit and the Early Opera Company.
