It is right near Gloucester Rd. tube station, a laundry mat, dry cleaner, restaurants, etc. The rooms are large and beautiful. The staff has been very kind and helpful. They seem genuinely interested in you which gives the place a very mom and pop bed and breakfast feel. Breakfast is served to you in your room in the morning (and is excellent). Guests gather around the lobby fireplace every day for tea and then later for complimentary champagne and finger foods. I would highly recommend The Cranley to any and anyone else who might be traveling to London. Thank you all for your help.
