Perfectly located on London’s South Bank, with stunning views of Big Ben and the London Eye, the London Marriott Hotel County Hall is an ideal landmark for Coronation Weekend.

For those looking for traditional fare, The Library’s Big Ben tea time offers guests the chance to enjoy the view from the hotel while enjoying a quintessentially British afternoon tea.
