Hotel Details

Location

City Guest House Se1 is 2 km from Tower Bridge, 3 km from London Bridge Underground Station, and 3 km from the Tower of London. London City Airport is 12 km away.
The property sits on a quiet residential street with good bus connections to central London. London Bridge station provides access to the Jubilee and Northern lines, making it easy to reach the West End and the City. For airport transfers, take a train from London Bridge to London City Airport (roughly 30 minutes). Within a 5-minute walk there are several takeaway restaurants and cafes. The area is generally quiet, though street noise can reach some front-facing rooms. The location is especially convenient for visits to Tower Bridge, Tower of London, and the South Bank.

Accommodation

Double rooms are equipped with an electric kettle, refrigerator, wardrobe, and free toiletries. All rooms share a bathroom with shower and hairdryer.
Each room includes a double bed, heating, and a desk. Some rooms have thin walls, so conversations and plumbing noise from adjoining rooms or the corridor can be heard. Mattress condition varies - a few rooms have been reported with thin or broken bases, and windows may not seal completely in certain units. Rooms on the ground floor can be less private due to proximity to common areas. The shared bathroom is located on the corridor; towels and toiletries are provided but may not be replenished daily. There is no television in the rooms.

Dining

No restaurant on site. The property offers no breakfast or meal services.
The guest house does not have a dining facility, but the surrounding area has several takeaway options within a 5-minute walk, including Pizza GoGo, Ho Ho Take Away, and School House Cafe. For a wider choice of sit-down restaurants, Old Kent Road is a short bus ride away. Each room has an electric kettle and a small refrigerator, allowing limited self-catering. Guests should plan to eat out or bring their own food for breakfast and other meals.
