Montcalm Brewery London City – Blend of Heritage and Comfort ๐ฌ๐ง
Enjoy historical accommodations and English dining in a prime location
Why we love it
The setting
The Montcalm at The Brewery sits on Chiswell Street in the City of London, inside a Georgian building that once formed part of an old brewery complex. The Barbican and Moorgate are a short walk away, so you are close to the financial district and the Underground without being on a loud main road. The brick facade and arched entrance give the place a sense of age, while the rooms behind it have been brought up to a modern standard.
What to expect
Rooms are quiet and well finished, with a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom that has either a shower or a bathtub. Free Wi-Fi runs throughout the building. There is a fitness centre on site and a bar with a strong character, plus a restaurant if you would rather eat in than head out. Breakfast is not part of the room rate here, but you can add it when you book for ยฃ19.95 per person.
Things to do nearby
You are well placed for the eastern side of central London. The Curve is about 150 metres away and Moorgate station is under 300 metres, which makes getting around by Tube straightforward. Wesley's Chapel is a five-minute walk. Tower Bridge sits roughly two kilometres to the south-east, an easy walk or a couple of stops on the Underground, and the rest of the City's landmarks fan out from there.
Best for
This one works for couples and solo travellers who want a City base with some history to it. Business visitors will find the location handy for Moorgate and Liverpool Street.
