More about this place
Premier Inn London County Hall is a value-focused hotel inside the historic County Hall building, directly beside the South Bank’s major family sights. The London Eye and riverside walks are close at hand, so the location does much of the work for a first city visit with children.
Double, twin, family and accessible categories are available, with an in-house restaurant and a separately selectable breakfast. There is no on-site car park; arrive by public transport or arrange the nearby paid parking separately.
