We spent the night in Gassiot House after taking a taxi from Kings Cross, I am afraid the thought of using the tube wasn't at all appealing with Robbie, his chair and our luggage all taking their toll...
The taxi driver dropped us off at the doors of the Evelina, however I was still to discover Gassiot House isn't exactly next to the Evelina... In fairness it isn't really far (maybe it just seems so when you haven't got the foggiest idea where you are.)
We made our way through St Thomas hospital as directed by the very friendly security chap, and once we had navigated our way to the front entrance of the hospital asked a further security guard for further directions, sure enough another very friendly face who pointed me n te direction of Gassiot House...
Here lies a warning, if you arrive out of normal office hours, you will need to go speak to the security chap at the St Thomas front desk to pick up your keys !!!....
We found our way in and a sense of calm descended... at least we knew we were there, and had safe, warm accommodation for the night. The accomodation is split into flats (which contain three double bed rooms, a shared kitchen, lounge and two bathroom suites)....(best to note they even provided towels, to save you having to haul these with you)
Gassiot House was overall immaculate, very quiet (considering location) and more than enough for any short visit....
