Why we love it
The setting
Canopy by Hilton London City sits at Aldgate on the eastern edge of the Square Mile, a few minutes' walk from the Tower of London and the old Roman Wall. The location puts you between the City's finance district and the markets and street art of Shoreditch and Spitalfields. Aldgate Underground station is about 135 metres away, so the rest of London is a short hop on the Tube. Black cabs and the DLR are close by too, which helps if you arrive late or want to reach the river quickly.
What to expect
Rooms run to about 24 square metres with a full double bed, a private bathroom, and a walk-in shower. The design leans warm and modern, with herringbone floors, brass lamps, and a writing desk by the window. There is free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a coffee maker, and a safe in the room. Downstairs the lounge and bar carry the same playful style, including a rooftop bar under a canopy of dried flowers. Breakfast is available but not included with this rate.
Things to do nearby
You are within walking distance of a lot. The Tower of London is roughly 370 metres away, with Tower Bridge just beyond it on the Thames. Petticoat Lane Market is about 364 metres for weekend browsing, and Bevis Marks Synagogue, Britain's oldest, sits around 282 metres from the door. Liverpool Street and Aldgate stations open up the rest of the city, and Brick Lane's curry houses and bagel shops are a short walk north.
Best for
This suits couples and solo travellers who want a stylish base for sightseeing and easy transport into the rest of London. The compact double room works well for a short two-night city break.
