OPPS sorry its 100 Queen's Gate

If you're going to somewhere on Queens Gate I would suggesting
getting off the tube at Glouster Road. You could get the Picidilly
line all the way (and go up a few steps and a lift) in Glouster
Road. Theres less steps from the Pic than the District at Glouster
Road

If you are trying to help overseas visitors, it does help to spell the
station names correctly. It's Gloucester Road, and it's actually
slightly further from the hotel than South Kensington.

For the record, the comparison of numbers of steps from the eastbound
Piccadilly is:
Gloucester Road: 27 steps up to the lift.
South Kensington: 17 steps *down* to the escalators, 16 stairs up from
ticket gates to street.
