The Ned brings glamour and grandeur to the heart of the City of London. Set inside a magnificent former bank building, this 5-star gay-friendly hotel reinvents 1920s opulence with marble columns, vintage details and a refined cosmopolitan crowd. With a rooftop pool, a members' club atmosphere and a remarkable line-up of restaurants under one roof, The Ned offers LGBTQ+ travellers a memorable London stay where heritage architecture meets contemporary lifestyle.
Set in the former Midland Bank building in the City of London, just steps from Bank Station, The Ned hosts 250 bedrooms, ten restaurants and a range of men’s and women’s grooming services.
The Grade I-listed building was designed by Sir Edwin 'Ned' Lutyens in 1924. Each bedroom at The Ned features elements of design back to the 1920's and 1930’s and includes vintage pieces, patterned furnishings and rainforest showers.
The former Grand Banking Hall is host to restaurants which serve a wide range of cuisines, from Britain to Northern Italy, North America to Asia.
Six private hire rooms and two terraces are at guests’ disposal. They all have a reception area.
Ned’s Club Spa offers a variety of treatments – from manicures and pedicures, to massages and hair services. The private member's spaces, Ned's Club Gym and Ned's Club Spa pool may be accessed through purchasing day passes, subject to availability.
The property is within a short walk from St. Paul’s Cathedral and within 15 minutes from Oxford Street and the West End, by tube. Bank Station also offers a direct DLR connection to London City Airport, which can be reached in 30 minutes.
The Ned is a 5-star hotel housed in a Grade I listed former bank, one of the most striking buildings in the Square Mile. Behind its imposing façade, guests discover lavish interiors blending Art Deco heritage with a curated, design-led ambience. The hotel welcomes a sophisticated international clientele and offers LGBTQ+ travellers an inclusive, discreet and stylish atmosphere.
Rooms and suites are decorated in vintage-inspired style, with rich fabrics, period furniture and contemporary comforts. The overall mood is elegant, never stuffy, and perfectly suited to travellers looking for a refined London base.
The Ned sits in the City of London, a few steps from Bank station and within easy walking distance of St Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London and the Thames. The location is ideal for exploring historic landmarks by day and reaching London's vibrant nightlife by night.
Soho, the heart of the city's LGBTQ+ scene with its iconic bars, cabarets and clubs around Old Compton Street, is a short ride away. Shoreditch and its creative venues are also within quick reach, giving guests the best of both worlds.
One of The Ned's signature features is its remarkable collection of restaurants gathered under the historic main hall, offering everything from Italian classics to grills and international cuisine. The atmosphere often combines fine dining with live music, making evenings particularly memorable.
Guests can also enjoy a rooftop pool with skyline views, a spa area and wellness facilities. According to room category, additional services and lounge access may be available, adding to the sense of a complete lifestyle destination rather than a simple hotel stay.
The Ned is well suited to a romantic weekend, a milestone celebration or a high-end business trip. Couples will appreciate the dramatic setting and rooftop views, while solo travellers can enjoy the buzzing restaurant scene and the central location, perfect for combining culture, gastronomy and London's LGBTQ+ nightlife.
