Irish hospitality is extended to Croydon following the opening of the new Jurys Inn Hotel, in Wellesey Road.

The 14-storey £14.5m Celtic-themed hotel has 240 bedrooms, and a restaurant and coffee shop available to non-residents and meeting rooms for hire. Neil Geoghegan, the group's marketing and sales director, said: "The hotel is ideally suited for business and leisure guests alike."
