The Mad Hatter Hotel is located in Southwark on the south Side of the River Thames near to Blackfriars Bridge. The building was a former hat factory, hence the hotels rather unusual name.

Beyond it is Shakespeare's Globe theatre, the National Theatre, the Royal Festival Hall and the Hayward Gallery and, of course, the London Eye. Covent Garden and the Strand are only about a mile away and Oxford Street, Regent Street and Soho half a mile or so further on.
