The Spotlight on The William IV

Stylish Stays Just Minutes from London's Music Scene

Modern boutique charm meets historic London at The William IV, located in the vibrant Kensal Green area. With elegant rooms, a relaxed atmosphere, and just a 5-minute walk from the Underground, this hotel offers a stylish and convenient base for concert-goers wanting easy access to the city’s biggest stages—from Notting Hill to Wembley.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can be at your favorite venue in minutes—Wembley Stadium is just a 15-minute drive, and Notting Hill is walkable in under 30 minutes. The nearby Kensal Green Station puts all of London within easy reach, making late-night returns after a gig simple. The neighborhood is quieter than central London, so you’ll enjoy a more peaceful post-concert wind-down. With check-in from 15:30, you’ve got time to settle in before your show.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking to base themselves near the action
Solo travelers ticking artists off their bucket list
Couples turning a concert into a weekend getaway
Fans who want a quieter spot to recover after the encore
Budget-conscious music lovers wanting boutique style without the central London price tag

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no 24/7 room service, there are plenty of walkable restaurants and pubs nearby. The on-site pub offers a cozy spot for a drink before or after a show. If you’re sleeping in after a late night, breakfast availability may be limited, so plan accordingly or explore the local cafes.

Nightlife Options

The William IV itself boasts a traditional pub atmosphere, perfect for relaxed drinks. You’re also close to the buzzing nightlife of Notting Hill and Queen’s Park, with bars, lounges, and live music venues just a short Tube or cab ride away.

What People Say

Guests love the characterful rooms, friendly staff, and convenient location. Many reviewers highlight the easy access to the Underground and praise the hotel’s peaceful setting away from the tourist crowds. The free WiFi and charming décor also get high marks.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the building has a few quirky features—think narrow staircases and occasional noise from the pub downstairs. There’s no lift, so pack light if you're heading to a gig with lots of gear.

The Bottom Line

A charming boutique base with great transport links, The William IV is a top pick for concert-goers looking for comfort, style, and easy access to London’s best music venues.

It was ver cool! Thank...

Liked: Staff is very nice, pub is cool, breakfast is delicious with decent choice, location is very convenient
Disliked: No AC in the room, it is a problem if is is more than 25 outside. Especially, on the 2nd floor. You have to leave windows open all the time, however it may be noisy at night because of cars and bikes

Perfect for what we needed...

Liked: We were greeted after a very long journey to London by a very friendly and courteous member of staff. We were asked priorities and told exactly what we needed to get to our room and relax after our journey. We had dinner at the restaurant that night. The hotel room was spotless and the bed very comfy, shower was great and nothing to fault. Complimentary tea and coffee and water in our room, which was replaced, which we were very grateful for. We also had a fan- seeing as it was 34 degrees this weekend that was also very considerate and much needed. Food at the restaurant was lovely! Its a 5-10 min walk from Kensal Green tube station on the Bakerloo line. The area is not too busy but close enough to make travelling easy. We walked down the canal into London, looking at all the boats along the way. Loads of water birds on the canal-such as heron, coots and cormorants. Its not far from Portobello market.
