Hotel Details

Location

In Kennington, a 10-minute Tube ride from central London, 15 minutes on foot from Southbank and the River Thames. Kennington station is 5-7 minutes away.
The hotel is set in a residential area with a village-like feel, minutes from the hustle of the city. Kennington tube station (Northern Line) provides direct access to central London in about 10 minutes; Vauxhall station (Victoria Line) is under 15 minutes on foot. Bus routes 3 and 59 stop directly outside, reaching the centre in 15 minutes. The Oval cricket ground is a 10-minute walk, and the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Cathedral, and Big Ben are 3 km away. A Tesco supermarket is across the road for supplies, and several pubs and restaurants are within a 5-minute walk. The location works well for car-free trips, as walking to central attractions takes 30-40 minutes and is pleasant along main routes.

Dining

The on-site pub serves cooked breakfast (weekends only), lunch, and dinner with locally sourced British ingredients, plus a bar with beers, cocktails, and wines.
The Tommyfield Pub offers a modern, family-friendly British menu. Ingredients are locally sourced wherever possible. Breakfast is available only on weekends (Saturday and Sunday) from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm; it is not served on weekdays. Room rates include a basic breakfast of porridge, fresh fruit, fruit juice, and hot drinks, while a cooked breakfast can be purchased separately with a 50% discount for hotel guests. Lunch and dinner are served daily, with pub favourites such as burgers, fish and chips, and Sunday roasts. Hotel guests receive a 30-33% discount on all food orders at the pub. The bar offers a wide range of beers, cocktails, and wines, and there is live stand-up comedy and a pub quiz every Tuesday. For those who prefer to eat out, several restaurants and cafés are within a 5-minute walk, and a Tesco is across the road for self-catering supplies.

Wellness and Leisure

No on-site spa, pool, or gym facilities. Leisure options focus on the pub's entertainment and nearby attractions.
The hotel does not have a spa, swimming pool, or fitness centre. Leisure activities centre on the pub itself, which hosts live stand-up comedy and a Tuesday pub quiz. The surrounding Kennington area offers pleasant walks to Southbank and the River Thames (15 minutes on foot), and The Oval cricket ground is a 10-minute walk. Nearby parks and the residential streets provide a quiet setting for jogging or strolling, but guests seeking dedicated wellness facilities may need to plan accordingly.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book a room away from the street-facing side if you are a light sleeper, as road noise and sirens can be audible even with the window closed.

  • 02

    Use the Kennington tube station (Northern Line, 5-7 minutes walk) for quick 10-minute journeys to central London.

  • 03

    Request a room with a roll-top bath when booking if you prefer a bath over a shower, as some rooms feature both.

  • 04

    Reserve the room from the day before if you plan to check in between 4-5 am, as out-of-hours check-in requires this arrangement.
