Question
I just wanted to know, I'm staying at the Hilton Metropole on Edgware and on looking at one of the pick up locations for the original london sightseeing tour, it seems the closest one to the hotel is the Marble Arch Stn. --- it says departs park lane next to speakers' corner & Marble Arch Stn., Subway exit 4 --- is that walking distance from the hotel? A 20 minute walk is even ok...anything more would probably require us to take a cab...any idea?

Answer
Hi

I have not taken that tour, but the Marble Arch tube stop is only 0.6 mile from your hotel---pretty much straight down Edgeware Rd. and a quick jog left on Marble Arch to the station.  Should be an easy walk.

Have fun.
