What is the closest shopping mall to The Royal National Hotel in London?

Central London doesn't have shopping malls. The hotel is within walking distance of Oxford St, the main shopping street in London, with shops ranging from souvenir shops and high street fashion shops to department stores such as Selfridges and John Lewis. While you're there, check out the shops on Regent St and Bond St.

The hotel is also just a short distance away from Covent Garden, which is one of London's iconic locations and has a range of shops as well as the famous market. You'll also find street entertainers there.

You'll need to travel out of central London to find a mall and can take the central line from Holborn either to Shepherd's Bush/White City stations, where you'll find a Westfield Shopping Centre, or to Stratford, where you'll find another Westfield Shopping Centre.
