81 Holland Park, W11

This used to be the Halcyon Hotel, an exclusive hideaway of visiting rockstars and Hollywoodsters evading the paparazzi. Mick Jagger, Liam Gallagher and Liza Minnelli are among the celebs who kept a low profile here. Naturally, it was the London base of Simon Templar (Val Kilmer) in the 1997 film of The Saint. Unfortunately, you can't stay there any more. The hotel closed in 2002 and it's been converted into luxury flats.
