Hotels near Earls-Court

Earls Court Attractions
Earls Court is predominantly a residential area and as such doesn’t boast the same range of activities that London has on offer, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some hidden gems ripe for the finding. You might be expecting us to recommend the Exhibition Centre, which is indeed a magnificent building with some fabulous exhibitions on, but unless you’ve something to do there, it can be a bit underwhelming. And it’s not exactly secret.

Recommended Attraction in Earls Court
So instead, we’re going to recommend you ramble on down to the Troubadour on Old Brompton Road. This is a ‘50s café with more than a hint of the Parisian about it, and puts on some of the UKs best up-and-coming music as well as spoken word acts (poetry mostly). The décor is a hodge-podge of rustic British and classic French, and there’s a decent, rural-feeling menu on offer most of the time. Best of all, it doesn’t cost the earth to have a good time there.

Earls Court Attractions List
Earls Court may be more famous for its proximity to tourist attractions in neighbouring districts, like Kensington Palace and the Victoria and Albert Museum, but there’s loads to see and do in Earls Court itself too. You only have to look at this itinerary to get a taste of Earls Court! Use our Earls Court hotel booking service, to book affordable accommodation here and come and see for yourself!
