Our take
For St Pancras, The California is a practical pick: the station and King's Cross are a short walk away and breakfast is included. The Georgian townhouse gives it more character than a chain, while the rooms stay modern and air-conditioned. A bar and terrace round it off. With a 7.8 score from over 850 reviews, it is solid rather than standout.
- Take advantage of the complimentary breakfast to fuel up before a day of exploring London.
- Utilise the hotel's proximity to King's Cross St. Pancras for easy access to public transport across the city.
- Enjoy a drink at the on-site bar or relax on the terrace after a busy day.
