Local Information - Attractions & Places to Visit
The Anne Boleyn Hotel is superbly located as a base for some fantastic days out. There is a wealth of local history (much of which also has Royal connections) and together with faster paced venues for the thrill-seekers among you, there's something for everyone within easy reach.
Our guests can also step straight from the Hotel onto the Thames Walk at Staines Bridge and enjoy a walk or cycle along either towpath to build up an appetite for a delicious meal in the Saffron later!
If the bright lights of London tempt you away, Staines Railway Station is 15 minutes' walk from the Hotel, taking you to London Waterloo in 40 minutes average with trains every 10-15 minutes peak. There are also frequent direct services to Twickenham, Richmond, Windsor & Eton Riverside, Virgina Water, Ascot and Reading. Staines Bus Station is also only 10 minutes' walk away for local routes and Heathrow Airport services.
