Hotel Details

Location

A 10-minute walk from Elephant & Castle station and 3 km from London Bridge, Big Ben and Waterloo Station.
The Lily Aparts sits in a lively, well-connected area of London. The bus stop is directly outside the building, making travel to the city centre easy - central sights like the Houses of Parliament and Tower Bridge are roughly 3 km away. Elephant & Castle tube station (Bakerloo and Northern lines) is a 10-minute walk, providing a half-hour trip to most major attractions. London City Airport is 14 km away; for airport connections, take the bus-and-tube links via Elephant & Castle. The immediate surroundings are packed with cafés, restaurants, grocery shops, and a McDonald's across the street, so daily essentials and quick meals are always within a few minutes' walk.

Accommodation

Studio and one-bedroom apartments with private bathroom, kitchenette, dining table, sofa bed, and private entrance.
Each self-contained unit features a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer and free toiletries, plus a fully equipped kitchenette with a stovetop, microwave, toaster and electric kettle. The studio apartments (2-3 beds, including a sofa bed suitable for one person) and one-bedroom apartments (1 bedroom, 2 beds) come with a dining table, a sofa, and a flat-screen TV. Heating, an iron, and double-glazed windows help create a quiet, comfortable environment - street-facing rooms can be noisier, so light sleepers may prefer to request a quieter side. The property is modern, clean, and well-maintained, with enough space for up to three people; the decor is described as simple and welcoming. No rooms have a balcony.

Dining

No on-site restaurant, but every apartment has a kitchenette for self-catering, and many cafés, restaurants and takeaways are within a 2-5 minute walk.
The Lily Aparts does not operate a restaurant or serve breakfast, so all meals must be self-catered or sourced from the surrounding area. Each apartment's kitchenette is fully equipped with a stovetop, microwave, toaster and kettle, making it easy to prepare simple meals. Within 300 metres you'll find Amore Cafe, Rude N Boomin, Ossie's Jerk Chicken, The Electric Elephant Cafe, Zing Zing, Cafe House, Mama Thai Home Cooking, and Delipan, offering a broad range of cuisines and takeaway options. A McDonald's is directly opposite for quick coffee or snacks. Grocery stores are also nearby, so stocking up for self-catering is straightforward.

Leisure

The property does not have a spa, pool, or gym; leisure options are limited to the neighbourhood's parks and restaurants.
There is no spa, swimming pool, or fitness centre on site. For relaxation, the surrounding area includes a modern neighbourhood with a park and numerous restaurants and terraces roughly 10 minutes from the property. Active guests can walk to Elephant & Castle for additional leisure facilities, but within the building itself, no dedicated wellness amenities are offered.
