History Lonsdale Hotel London

Historical Background Lonsdale Hotel London and Camden Town London

The Lonsdale Hotel London was built in 1965 and is located in theCamden Townborough of London. The hotel is named after Charles Pratt, 1st Earl of Camden in 1795.

The large garden square Russell Square in the London borough of Camden goes back to the Earls and Dukes of Bedford who were developing and improving the sight of the family's landholdings in London in the 17th and 18th century.

The Duke laid out new streets on the margins of the gardens of his former London house and so Russell Square London was built. Visitors can still see the Bedford Arms on the street lamps in this London area.

Camden Town is a district in North central London and is commonly known for its special London markets with its multicultural flair. In this area of London you can find The Roundhouse Theatre, which has been a centre of alternative culture since the 1960s. The Roundhouse used to be a locomotive engine roundhouse which was constructed in 1847 for the transport way connection to Birmingham.

The Regent's Canal is flowing in the North end of Camden Town London. Until the 1950s the canal was used for barges which were transported by horses through the canal. Travellers can still see the ramps on the bank.

In 1874 at Macclesfield Bridge, what the canal bridge is called, the biggest pre-war explosion in London took place when a barge of gunpowder blew up. That is also why the London Bridge is called "Blow-up bridge".
