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
Thanks You
But I think it is much shorter for me to get off at South Kensington its
only about a 3 minute walk up Old Brompton Road ( corner of Old Brompton
Road and Queens Gate)
South Kensington is further away from 100 Queens Gate than Gloucester
Road (yes the tube stations are really that close together)
If it's the hotel I know at the corner of Old Brompton Road and Queen's
Gate, then South Kensington is definitely nearer, no matter what
Multimap says. The walk from Gloucester Road is indirect whereas the
walk from South Kensington is very direct; as the crow flies it may be
nearer to Gloucester Road, but the walking distance from South Ken is
shorter.
Of course, this is rather pedantic as it's probably only the difference
a few metres. If the OP is familiar with the walk from South Ken station
then that's a good reason in itself to walk from there.
This will be my 4th year of staying at this hotel and since I know my
way I will get there the way I know.
I do learn my way around each year and once I am there I will take a
walk and look for Gloucester Road. The hotel has never mentioned it as a
possible way to get to the Regency.
You are all very helpful and Thank You
