Situated just to the north of the River Thames in the Clerkenwell part of London is the large and modern Thistle City Barbican. The property is just a short walk from the distinctive Barbican Centre which plays host to an array of events, concerts and other activities. The Thistle has a large number of rooms as well as extensive meeting facilities, a restaurant and a health and leisure club and so many needs are provided for during your stay.

The Barbican Centre is one of the main reasons guests visit this part of the city. Opened in 1982 the grade II listed building is thought of as a triumph of design by some and a disastrously ugly structure by others. What is undisputed however is its ability to host a number of top events whether it is music, dance, theatre, exhibitions or the London Symphony Orchestra. And it is within close proximity to such a venue that the Thistle City Barbican is to be found.

The hotel is conveniently placed to reach the nearby tube and train stations; a factor enhanced by the shuttle bus which runs from the Thistle to some of the underground stops. There are a number of other hotels from the same group which are placed at various intervals around the country and indeed in the nation’s capital. Among the closest ones to the Barbican are: the Bloomsbury Park, the Bloomsbury, the Euston and One Whitehall Place.

The Thistle City Barbican features more than 450 guest rooms as well as an award-winning restaurant that serves top quality food. Further, there are 13 such facilities in total, the largest of which is able to accommodate for a capacity 170 delegates. Finally, for relaxation the hotel has a health and leisure centre which comes complete with a swimming pool, a sauna, a steam room, a gym and a selection of beauty treatments.
