The Ned
A grand former bank in the City turned buzzy hotel with a hall full of restaurants and a rooftop pool.
The call
Worth it if you only have one day and you are traveling as a couple.
Why
- 01
A vast Lutyens banking hall ringed with restaurants and live music — more scene than sanctuary.

What you're near — and what you're not
- Bank & the City
- St Paul's (short walk)
- Bank tube on the doorstep
- West End theatres (~20 min)
- The City empties out at weekends
What you're paying for
A wide spread of room categories, from compact 'Crash Pad'-style entry rooms to large suites; the smaller categories are tight, so size up if you want space. Most of the action is downstairs in the banking hall.
