Since 1865 the Charing Cross hotel has stood as a monument to the power and confidence of the Victorian era, and can lay claim to being the most central hotel in London - as the Eleanor Cross, located just outside the hotel, is regarded as the official centre of London.
The timeless gentility of Charing Cross gives it a unique atmosphere and outlook, with 239 bedrooms and junior suites, as well as an AA rosette restaurant enjoying views over Trafalgar Square and the Strand.
Elegant and cosmopolitan, Guomans four star Charing Cross is the ideal base for a girly shopping weekend with Oxford Street just a ten minute walk away.

About: Why do energy drinks make you crash?
One minute youre wired up, the next you feel worse than before.
The answer is large amounts of sugar and caffeine.
Thats why you should try a new liquid energy shot called Quick Energy. With Quick Energy you can leave drowsiness behind and glide through your day without feeling jittery or tense. Thats because Quick Energy contains a powerful blend of B-vitamins for energy, and amino acids focus and better mood.
Theres no sugar, just 5 calories and about as much as a cup of coffee.
The 59ml shot take just seconds to drink, and in minutes youre feeling bright, alert and productive. And that feeling lasts for hours.
So if your energy drink makes you crash, switch to Quick Energy: hours of energy now, no crash later.
