City Sleeper at Royal National Hotel has so much on the doorstep - central sights, neon lights and British bites – all within walking distance. Read on to see what’s in store; from visiting the
Cartoon Museum to catching an indie movie, get ready to live just like a Bloomsbury local.
Take a Power Shower
Step in sleepy, step out supercharged, thanks to your bathroom’s high-tech showerhead designed to reduce water waste and most importantly jumpstart your day! With Urban Skincare body wash and haircare stocked in your bathroom too, you’ll soon be feeling fresh and alert. Because once dressed, there’s a very important meeting...

Boost Up with Brekkie
...breakfast! Served Monday - Sunday 06:30 - 10:30, start your day downstairs in the breakfast room. Dig into eggs, sausages, bacon, beans and all the Full English extras – or enjoy our continental offering and enjoy a fruit salad with yoghurt and a strong espresso on the side.

Discover Cartoon Classics
Where British humour and comic strips come to life, see Beano classics and bold political sketches at the
Cartoon Museum. Celebrating 6,000 art, graphics and stories, this is an imaginative hub for all ages. Only a 20-minute walk from
City Sleeper, this museum is based on Wells Street near Tottenham Court Road.
Play a Game of Futuristic Darts
Unleash your competitive side at
Boom Battle Bar Oxford Street, where fun meets frenzy (in the best way possible). Attempt axe throwing, augmented reality darts, shuffleboard and beer pong all under one roof! Try an array of American-style snacks too, in their neon lit basement, after challenging your kids or mates.

Fuel Up at Salt Yard Slow the pace a little and head to nearby
Salt Yard Goodge Street, where exposed brick walls and urban decor sets the scene for a relaxed Mediterranean lunch. Share Spanish and Italian small plates, such as crispy croquetas, charred octopus, and creamy burrata - paired with chilled wine. Whether it’s a quick bite or a longer lunch, this modern bistro is one of our favourites.
Increase your Daily Steps After lunch, take a power walk around Bloomsbury’s parks and gardens. From Goodge Street head straight to
Gordon Square and do a lap, then
Tavistock Square and the largest,
Russell Square to enjoy some fresh air. Whether you’re taking in all the blooms in spring or the glistening lights at Christmas, there’s lots to see.
Did you know? 6,000 steps are the daily average for a Londoner. So why not set yourself a target and see if you can achieve (or go beyond) that number!

Catch Up with Coffee Contrary to popular belief, city locals love their coffee just as much as they love their tea. So, order yourself a pick-me-up at
Blooms Coffee & Pizza and get comfy in a booth. Whether you need to check your emails or catch up on any work calls, you’ll be metres away from
City Sleeper and just centimetres from the chef’s freshly made tiramisu.
Recharge in your Room Take some time out for yourself. If you’ve been go-go-going all day, then an hour or so will help you recharge. Whether streaming your favourite show through the Netflix app on your Smart TV or sitting back with a magazine – recalibrate before heading out for the evening.
Buy Urban Art Pieces Just two minutes from
City Sleeper and located in the
Brunswick Shopping Centre, walk over to the
Brunswick Art Gallery to check out urban art pieces and abstract prints made by local artists. Whether you’re buying a piece to remember your trip by, or just having a browse, the graffiti style artwork is bound to catch your eye.

Catch an Indie Film
Around the corner from the
Brunswick Art Gallery,
Curzon Bloomsbury cinema is the place to catch a lesser-known film. If a
Danny Boyle or an
Andrea Arnold movie is your vibe, then the
Curzon is made for you.
Showing big box office hits too, this local cinema makes for an ideal night to switch off from work or chill out with your family.
Visit London often? Why not grab a Curzon cinema membership whilst you’re at a screening? And for hotel night discounts, don’t forget to sign up for an
1837 Club Membership.

Or Workout in a Nightclub Style Gym
Who knew neon lights and rowing machines could work so well together? Take a 15-minute walk into Holborn, where you’ll find Gym Box Holborn who offer day-passes without any contract commitment. So, whether you’re a weightlifter or a cardio circuit fiend, then Gym Box has all the equipment to get your sweat on. With regular visits from DJs – use the beat to get moving!
Grab a Burger for Dinner
On your way back to
City Sleeper, drop into
The London Pub, a lively spot for all. Order a smoked chicken burger or bacon cheeseburger for dinner served with skin-on chips. Or tuck into loaded nachos (great for sharing).

Finish the Day with a Pint
And whilst you’re in the pub, it’d be rude not to have a proper London pint. At just £5.45 for a TLP lager, celebrate your successful day in the city!
