What's nearby all year long...

Rosslyn Chapel

We are located only a few blocks away from the local 15 bus that runs to the famous Rosslyn Chapel.

Turn left out of the Star Villa, walk to the end of our street (Gilmore Place) cross the road at the traffic light and the bus stop is not far (next to the Kings Theatre). The Local Bus 15 runs half-hourly to the famous Davinci Code landmark servicing all the Holy Grail enthusiasts and Dan Brown fans around the world.
