The Forum Hotel in Kensington is situated in a nice area, close to most popular attractions in London. As you enter the 70's/60's reception hall, it looks less and less pleasing than the outside. You see a reception on your right and straight in front of you a kind of Carribean bar/cafe. As you go upstairs, the first floor has a restaurant and a conference hall.

Close to many museums.
This particular Hotel is part of a large chain, which has a very ...
