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.

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.
