About the Area for SilverDoor Serviced Apartments in Bath

Bath is situated 99 miles (159 km) west of Central London and 15 miles (25 km) south east of Bristol. Its main railway station, Bath Spa, lies on the main line between Bristol and London, as well as the line linking Cardiff with Portsmouth.

The city is founded around the only naturally occurring hot springs in the UK. It was first documented as a Roman spa, although tradition suggests that it was founded earlier. The waters from its spring were believed to be a cure for many afflictions and since the 16th century it has been a resort city for the wealthy. As a result of its popularity during the latter period, the city contains many fine examples of Georgian architecture, most notably the Royal Crescent. The city has a population of over 80,000 and is a World Heritage Site.

The city boasts a remarkable range of museums, galleries and exhibitions. You can discover Bath's most famous resident, Jane Austen at The Jane Austen Centre, or enjoy a meal at the oldest house in Bath, Sally Lunn's Refreshment House and Museum.

For shopping Bath is renowned for its mix of high-street chain and boutique designer shopping with more shops than a city ten times the size.
