St Albans

Travel Guide

Sunrise skyline of Saint Albans in England. UK
The beautiful St Albans Cathedral near London on a beautiful Autumn Day in 2014

A wonderful piece of Architecture with a deep rooted history.
St. Albans is literally half Norman & half Gothic architecture and is a mesmerising learning experience in the differences between them all in one view.  The grounds themselves are also spectacular and a brief 15 minute walk from the St. Albans station. #green
I was here in 2007.  If you like history and architecture, St Alban's is a great day out fro London, or a stop on a road trip.  An old Roman town with ruins and cathedrals, the old roman theatre is located on the Gorhambury Estate - website below for more information.

A small, sweet church between the roman ruins and the cathedral.  The walk is mostly through park lands.

The room was large and had a great view. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great! The location of this hotel is really perfect. I was so easy to get to many parts of the city either by walking or taking the Waterloo station which is a short walk from the hotel.

Honestly a very large room for London. Not much of a view from my room but a good trade off as it made the room very quiet at night. Having access to a small kitchen was really nice. 24/7 front desk and they were all really friendly
