London Chigwell Prince Regent Hotel, BW Signature Collection

• Access to central London
• Great business facilities
• Restaurant and bar

This former Georgian mansion in Epping Forest is really well placed for trips into London. The London Chigwell Prince Regent Hotel is just minutes from the M11 and M25, as well as a five-minute drive from Woodford underground station. From here, you’ll be whisked into London on the Central Line. You can be at Westfield shopping centre, the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park or the O2 in no time.

Even if you’re not interested in exploring the capital, the London Chigwell Prince Regent Hotel is a great choice for business travellers. There are five meeting rooms, all with the latest audio-visual tech. The biggest suite has room for up to 500 people, while the smallest room fits 15. Plus, there are more than 100 parking spaces.

For any downtime, there’s a restaurant serving a mix of modern British dishes and old favourites, like burgers and fish and chips. Breakfast is served here, too. You can tuck into a buffet, or get omelettes, kippers or porridge cooked to order. Next to the restaurant, there’s a bar. You can take your cocktail into the drawing room for a read, watch BT Sports, or enjoy a tipple on the terrace if the weather’s playing ball.
