Haymarket Hotel occupies a Regency building by the architect John Nash on Suffolk Place, moments from Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square. A Firmdale hotel with bold Kit Kemp design, around 50 rooms and suites plus a townhouse, the buzzing Brumus bar and restaurant, a library and a dramatic 18-metre indoor pool, it is one of the West End's most stylish stays. This guide covers exactly how to reach it.
01 / LOCATIONWhere exactly is Haymarket Hotel?
The hotel is at 1 Suffolk Place, Haymarket, SW1Y 4HX, just off the Haymarket between Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square. It sits in the Congestion Charge zone and the ULEZ, on busy West End streets — so for arrivals, a clean drop where the team can meet you is the sensible approach.
02 / THE SETTINGFirmdale drama by the theatres
Haymarket Hotel pairs the elegant proportions of a Nash building with Kit Kemp's confident colour, modern British art and playful design. Brumus is a lively pre-theatre favourite, there's a conservatory and library, and the standout is a striking indoor pool with a bar. Whichever brings you here, the point for arrival is the same: it's a hotel of real style, so the journey to its door deserves the same composure.
03 / STATIONSNearest stations and getting around
The hotel is superbly connected in the West End:
- Piccadilly Circus (Bakerloo and Piccadilly lines) is about a three-minute walk and is closest.
- Charing Cross (Bakerloo and Northern lines, and trains) is a few minutes away.
- Leicester Square and Embankment are both a short walk.
You're right by the theatres. The catch on arrival day is the familiar one: easy travelling light, far harder with luggage, after a flight, through the West End crowds at the end.
04 / AIRPORTSAirport transfer times to Haymarket Hotel
Haymarket Hotel draws guests from around the world. The board below gives realistic door-to-door driving times for a pre-booked private hire car. Treat them as a planning guide; West End traffic has its own ideas.
From Heathrow
London City is the closest airport, to the east. From Heathrow in the west, the Piccadilly line runs to Piccadilly Circus nearby — handy, but still a ride with luggage and a walk. A direct Heathrow airport transfer by car removes that, with the driver meeting you in arrivals and bringing you straight to Suffolk Place.
From the other airports
London City is closest of all; Gatwick connects by the Gatwick Express to Victoria, while Luton and Stansted sit further out. From each, the rail route ends in a Tube ride and a walk; for a group, or anyone with luggage, one car and one fixed price is the gentler option.
Firmdale drama by the theatres — the arrival should feel just as composed.
05 / THE EASY WAYArriving in style — train, Tube or private hire?
There's no single right answer. Coming light from elsewhere in town? The Tube to Piccadilly Circus works well. A pre-booked private hire transfer tends to win when arrival matters most:
- You're arriving with luggage after a flight and would rather be met and driven to the door than fight the West End crush.
- You're travelling as a group and would value a saloon, executive car, MPV or larger vehicle together.
- You want a fixed fare known before you travel — no surge, no meter ticking in West End traffic.
- Your flight time is uncertain — a tracked driver simply adjusts and waits.
Why this helps at Haymarket Hotel: the hotel sits on busy streets between Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square, with no car park and the Congestion Charge in force. A local driver knows the cleanest set-down on Suffolk Place where the team can meet you, rather than circling the one-way system.
