Travel Lodge Farringdon

The Travel Lodge Farringdon, London is located on Kings Cross Road and is within easy distance of many of the major attractions that the capital city of London has.  Today getting round London is easy as there is both an excellent bus service along with an underground service as well.  But if you want to travel around London in style, then hailing a black cab is something that everybody does once on a visit to this city.

Close to this particular hotel is Smithfield Meat Market, which is now one of the oldest markets in the city.  For more than 800 years now, people have been buying and selling produce here.  Plus it has been the site of a livestock market that dates back to the 10th Century.  This market is also the largest market in the world today and the site covers more than 10 acres of land. 

Also near to the Travel Lodge hotel in Farringdon is St Etheldreda's Church, which you will find, situated in Ely Place.  This is now the oldest of the Roman Catholic Churches in the city and was built back in 1251.  If you would like to get a feel for what a traditional Catholic Mass is like then you may wish to attend Sunday Mass, as often it will be sung in Latin.   

Certainly, this part of London as like many other parts provides you with a chance to explore the cities history dating back to the times when it was first settled.  A quick visit to the Museum of London will show you exactly what life was like in the city dating back to Roman times.
