The Columbia
Important to know
- Address: 95-99 Lancaster Gate, London W2 3NS, United Kingdom
- Getting here: 5-minute walk from Lancaster Gate Station
The Columbia is an iconic hotel in London that has been welcoming artists and travelers since 1975.
Imagine walking through halls that have seen legends like Iggy Pop, Stereophonics, Scissor Sisters, Amy Winehouse, Simple Minds, and The Eurythmics.
Noel Gallagher, for example, has stayed here a few times, even when Oasis was just an emerging band – they even have a song named “Columbia.”
However, Oasis was later banned from the hotel. Rumor has it they went too far… At 6 a.m., some bar furniture was allegedly thrown out the windows by guitarist Bonehead and producer Owen Morris.
Every wall here tells a story. What other stories might be embedded in the rooms of The Columbia?
