Summary

Driving on a public road out of curiosity is generally not illegal in England unless it involves trespassing or harassment. If no signs indicate private property and no interactions occurred, legal issues are unlikely. If you have specific concerns, consulting local authorities can provide peace of mind.

I was driving home and saw a hotel that I was aware was an asylum seeker hotel. Given the recent climate, I wanted to be nosy and see if there was a far right protest. As I drove past there was a car parked further up towards the hotel. I became curious and drove up only to discover the hotel completely empty. Someone came out as I approached but I didn’t want to cause distress so I did a turn around and left. This all happened within about a minute.
It sounds like you might be concerned about any legal issues related to your curiosity drive. If you're worried about any potential legal implications, can you let me know if there were any interactions or if you felt like any laws could have been breached during your drive?
There were no interactions and i’m not sure if I did breach any laws. I simply drove up a road and left again out of curiosity. I figured there would already be police present.
From what you've described, it seems unlikely that any laws were breached just by driving up a road out of curiosity, especially if no interactions occurred. In England, unless you trespass on private property or engage in harassing behavior, curiosity itself isn't typically a legal issue. However, if you have specific concerns about potential laws breached, feel free to ask!
So I have nothing to worry about?

Based on your description, it seems unlikely you have anything to worry about. Simply driving by out of curiosity doesn't typically breach any laws in England unless you trespass or engage in harassing behavior. If you have any specific concerns, feel free to share!
The road had a sign pointing to hotel and the entry to the road was open as well as another car parked further up. There was no sign saying private property.

From what you've described, it seems that you haven't breached any laws as there were no signs indicating private property, and driving up a road out of curiosity without causing disturbance is generally not a legal issue in England. If you're still unsure, you might want to check with local authorities.
You say generally as if there could be an instance where it is?
