The prestigious area of Park Lane is located in the City of Westminster, Central London. Known for its grand townhouses, this exclusive housing area is the home to many affluent and well-to-do Londoners. It was in the 18th century when Park Lane became a more prominent place to live, with the residence of Robert Stayner Holford of Dorchester House in 1853. Unfortunately opulent houses such as these do not exist and in 1929, Dorchester House was demolished. In its place stands The Dorchester Hotel completed in 1931, the luxurious Park Lane hotel.

Historically, Park Lane existed as a small country lane running along the stretch to Hyde Park from Marble Arch. Found to be approximately three quarters of a mile in length, it is one of the most upmarket roads in London. Just along this stretch of road you will see a row of hotels of which you may wish to stay in to experience the five-star treatment. The Dorchester, as previously mentioned is one, as well as the Grosvenor House Hotel and the InterContinental London Park Lane Hotel. Access to Park Lane and its array of hotels is possible via many of the London buses that serve the area. These also include night buses so you can have 24 hour access to here and the whole of London. Transport via the nearest tube station Hyde Park Corner at one end and Marble Arch at the other can connect you to other parts of the city.

Park Lane’s recreational and leisure options circulate around the art and cultural options. There are a number of galleries for art lovers to enjoy.
