Where: A Room for London - Above the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank Centre, Belvedere Rd, SE1 8XX
Part kooky hotel part art installation, A Room for London is essentially a boat perched atop the Queen Elizabeth Hall with a kitchenette, bedroom with views over the Thames, and an impressive library filled with books of historical importance by Norman Mailer, Virginia Woolf and Andy Warhol among others. The makeshift hotel has luxury fittings like a Miele kitchenware and Egyptian cotton sheets, but best of all are the panoramic views that take in St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Houses of Parliament and everything in between. Only one night stays are permitted to allow as many people as possible to experience this unique holiday; tickets sell like hot cakes so register your interest via their website to find out when the next batch go on sale.
