Hotels With a Bar Near Bank and Monument

This page lists hotels with a bar on site around Bank and Monument stations in the City of London, the interchange that links the Central, Northern and Waterloo & City lines, the DLR and the Circle and District lines. In a district that empties after office hours, a bar in the hotel is a practical way to end the evening close to your room. The options run from The Ned London, a minute from the station, to rooftop and riverside bars around the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, and across the Thames to Bankside and London Bridge.

Bank and Monument sit at the centre of the City, among banks, livery halls and Christopher Wren's churches, with the Monument to the Great Fire of London a few steps from its station. The area is busy on weekdays and much quieter in the evening and at weekends. To the east, Tower Hill and the Tower of London lead to Tower Bridge, while London Bridge connects the City to Borough Market and Bankside on the south bank.

Where to stay

…

From banking halls to rooftop terraces

Around Bank and Monument, a hotel bar matters because the City's own bars follow office hours. The choice here ranges from grand bars in a former banking hall to rooftop terraces with views of the Tower, cocktail bars in modern hotels and a simple bar in a hostel near Borough Market. The right one depends on whether you want a view, a quiet drink or a lively room.

The Ned London is the standout choice close to the station. It occupies a grand 1920s building designed by Lutyens, a minute's walk from Bank, and combines a bar with nine restaurants, a spa, a pool and a fitness centre. It is a five-star hotel and accepts pets, and it holds a 9.0 rating from almost 8,000 reviews. I would book it if the bar is part of the reason for the trip, since with nine restaurants and a bar under one roof you have no need to leave the building in the evening, and the City's offices are a short walk away.

Towards the Tower of London, several hotels pair a bar with river or city views. The Tower Hotel, by Thistle, on the banks of the Thames a short walk from Tower Bridge, has two bars, refined dining and afternoon tea, and it has the largest review base on this page, with an 8.4 from more than 12,000 reviews. DoubleTree by Hilton London - Tower of London has a rooftop bar with city views, a restaurant and a gym, and it accepts pets. citizenM Tower of London, rated 9.2, has an upscale bar and a relaxed lounge, a short walk from the Tower and Aldgate.

Near Tower Bridge, two more hotels rated 9.2 and 9.0 deserve a look. Novotel London Tower Bridge has a bar, a restaurant and a spa area with a sauna and hammam, plus a fitness centre, and it is pet-friendly. Hilton London Tower Bridge combines a cocktail bar with an Italian restaurant and a 24/7 gym, which suits late arrivals. Leonardo Royal Hotel London City, a minute's walk from Tower Hill, adds an indoor pool, a hot tub and a spa to its bar and restaurants, rated 8.4 by more than 3,700 guests.

Across the river, Hilton London Bankside is a 5-star hotel with a bar, an indoor pool, a spa and a fitness centre, a short walk from Tate Modern, rated 9.0. For a tighter budget, St Christopher's Inn London Bridge - The Village is a hostel near Borough Market with dorms and private rooms with shared bathrooms, a restaurant and a bar, rated 7.8 by more than 3,200 guests. Travelodge London City is a budget hotel with a restaurant and bar that accepts pets. I would choose the hostel only if a sociable bar matters more to you than a private bathroom.

A traveler's perspective

For an evening drink near Bank, I would book The Ned London: it sits in a 1920s Lutyens building a minute from the station, with a bar, nine restaurants and a pool, and it is rated 9.0 from almost 8,000 reviews. If I wanted a view instead, my choice would be the rooftop bar at DoubleTree by Hilton London - Tower of London, looking over the City.
