  今天是我伦敦之行的第四站,我采访了 Dolphin Square Hotel 的一位 Concierge (门童)。

Level ★★★★★
I learned that Dolphin Square was built in 1935. It stands on the banks of the famous River Thames and is surrounded by the busy streets of Westminster. The hotel has its own gardens, and I love the peace and tranquillity of the countryside-like situation. It takes less than five minutes to walk to the nearby Pimlico Tube Station. Along the way is a Catholic church on the east side of the road. I tried several times to persuade myself to have a look inside the church but failed. I found that gothic building with its tall spire rather frightening.
