Yotel Eyes The Kingsway Tunnels in London

Central London may be getting the next possible Yotel location, but this won’t be another fancy high rise.

Simon Woodruffe’s Yotel chain, famous for its capsule-style rooms that are offered at hourly rates, hopes to make this particular project unique, as it will be underground.

Earlier this year, we wrote about The Kingsway Tunnels, a labyrinth of underground shafts that were put up for sale. The self-contained Kingsway Tunnels have a rich history as a reserve war room, an air raid shelter and a phone exchange during the Cold War.

The initial Yotel plan for The Kingsway Tunnels is for 100-150 capsules.

"It’s a winner for everyone from clubbers to business people who just want somewhere to have a shower and crash after a big night out. They don’t need a view or a gym or a restaurant, all of which you are paying for on your room rate at other hotels. With our rates from just £20 per person per night, staying there would work out cheaper than a cab home." (blackbookmag)
