London Heathrow Airport (LHR): Approximate driving time is 20 minutes and distance is 22 miles.

London Gatwick Airport (LGW): Approximate driving time is 54 minutes and distance is 50 miles.

The K+K George Hotel is located on Templeton Place, 1 block west of Earl's Court Road. Express trains serve both airports into the center of London, for transfers to taxis or the Underground (subway). The closest Underground station is Earl's Court. Taxis are best hailed from Earl's Court Road.

Although the hotel lies outside the zone where new tolls apply for driving into central London, and there are on-site parking facilities, traffic is difficult even for the seasoned driver. Best bet: taxis or the Underground.

Amenity highlights: One of the few central London hotels with its own parking facility (fee), the K+K George also offers air conditioning throughout, complimentary high-speed Internet access, and complimentary tea and coffee in the lobby. Its modishly designed bistro and bar overlooks the garden, with terrace dining in fine weather.

Insider tip: The Earl's Court Exhibition Center is one of London's most eclectic venues. Just 2 blocks west of the hotel, this vast and versatile indoor space hosts music concerts and exhibitions of every description.
