We are considering staying at the Park Plaza County Hall London on July 18-20. We are seeking advice/experience on the hotel and the area, especially for convenience to main tourist attractions and tube connections in central London and general safety of the area. Thank you kindly.

It ticks all of those boxes. I stay there very often on business but it’s 90% tourists guests.

I've stayed in that area before, and really liked it. It's convenient to Waterloo Station, and it's an easy walk over Westminster Bridge to get to Westminster area, with many sights. The Westminster tube station, which has the Circle and District lines, is just across the river as well. Plus there are lots of places to see in South Bank, including Borough Market, Southwark Cathedral, the Old Globe Theatre, and much more.
And as a female solo traveler, I can vouch for its safety. I walked around in the late evening and never felt unsafe at all. It's beautiful there, too, with the lights illuminating the river.

I also have stated in the area and one thing I really enjoyed was being near the river. I found the area felt less congested and was a welcome respite from the business of London.
