London pubs worth spending the night at
Be it a classic haunt steeped in history or something with a modern twist, our pubs with accommodation guarantee a stay to remember. Here’s our round-up of the best hotel pubs in London.
Victoria Inn, Peckham
You can find the Victoria Inn in the heart of Peckham, widely regarded as one of the most diverse and vibrant neighbourhoods in London. It’s a spot bursting with creativity, with a rich offering of delicious eateries, bold street art, and green parks. For a spot of culture, Horniman Museum and Gardens and Dulwich Picture Gallery are well worth a visit, while nearby Dulwich feels like you’ve stepped into the charm of a cosy country village.
As for eating, the boutique Victoria Inn delivers seasonal high-quality pub food all day. Enjoy a big breakfast, a tasty lunch, or a spot of dinner before you hit the hay. The stylish bedrooms are cosy and comfortable, so you’ll wake up refreshed and ready for a day of exploring.
Tulse Hill Hotel, Norwood
This pub is just as loved by its loyal locals as it is by tourists passing through. Just a stone’s throw from the iconic green space that is Brockwell Park, the Tulse Hill Hotel is a spot bursting with character, and dates back to the late 1800s. There's a gastropub with a seasonal British menu, a private dining room for hire, a cosy pub, and even a beer garden for the summer months.
For overnight stays, you can pick from nine en suite boutique bedrooms that range from spacious singles to generous family-sized doubles - each with its own en suite bathroom. So you can rest easy after a long day exploring the capital, and get ready for round two.
We highly recommend exploring the local area, too. Tulse Hill station is just a short walk away, Brixton has its vibrant Village Market, and Herne Hill is great for quaint coffee shops.
Kew Gardens Hotel, Richmond
The Kew Gardens Hotel is a beloved spot just a short walk from the stunning botanical gardens of the same name. Nestled in the heart of Kew Village, West London, visitors get to enjoy the charm and rich history of the location, with the bustle of city life just a short journey away. This gastropub and restaurant cooks the tastiest seasonal dishes alongside a range of refreshing drinks.
You can also choose from 20 stylish and comfortable guest rooms, perfect for unwinding after a day of discovery. The National Archives and Richmond-upon-Thames are within walking distance, as well as Kew Gardens, plus you can jump on the tube and be in central London in next to no time.
Wheatsheaf Hotel, Surrey
If you’re seeking a relaxing stay in London that feels like a retreat to the countryside, the Wheatsheaf Hotel in Surrey is the one for you. It’s located on a picturesque lakeside, mere minutes from Windsor Great Park. The beauty spot is famed for its lake and waterfalls, and offers 4,800 acres of landscaped gardens and woodland managed by the Crown Estate.
The pub is a 17th-century establishment with a warm welcome and an excellent food menu brimming with classic dishes and seasonal sensations. There are 18 hotel rooms to pick from, each one with an en-suite bathroom.
Additionally, if you're a golfing enthusiast, there's not one, but two stunning golf courses nearby, so you can tee off to your heart's content. Location-wise, it’s extremely convenient. You’re only a 15-minute drive from Heathrow Airport, and an hour from the central areas of the capital.
How to tour London like a local
London is a vibrant city and while it can feel overwhelming at first, its rich history, diverse culture, and iconic landmarks make it unforgettable. Here are our top tips for a truly memorable visit.
Do not take the stairs at Covent Garden
Covent Garden is definitely one of the most iconic tourist spots in London, dating back to the early 17th century. It's centered around the beautiful Piazza, and the cobbled streets are lined with boutique shops, artisan stalls, and lively street performances. If you're taking the tube to Covent Garden, don't attempt the stairs. There are 193 steps, which is the equivalent to a 15-storey building. Many have taken on the challenge, and many have failed!
Always stand on the right
One of the quickest ways to out yourself as a tourist is by standing on the left side of an escalator. In the London Underground, you have to stand on the right and leave the left clear for those walking. It's a small gesture that keeps the city's fast-paced flow moving smoothly.
Don’t walk slowly on busy streets
London’s bustling streets aren’t the place for a leisurely stroll. In crowded areas, especially during rush hour, keep up the pace and walk with purpose from A to B. Tempted to take in the sights like Buckingham Palace or Borough Market? Step aside, just like pulling over in traffic, to let others pass. Londoners will thank you for it.
Explore beyond Zone 1
Central London may be iconic, but it's the Zone 2 and 3 neighbourhoods like Richmond, Camden, Greenwich, Peckham and Dulwich that offer a more local experience. You can discover charming cafes, beautiful green parks and plenty of culture. Plus, so much of London is easy to explore on foot.
Don’t be offended by lack of smiles
Londoners aren’t unfriendly, they’re just usually busy and rushing everywhere. It’s not common for Londoners to strike up conversation on the tube, so don’t feel like you’ve done something wrong if your fellow passengers don’t greet you with a smile. Zone 1 is far more chaotic, so you’re sure to find more community and conversation in the neighbourhoods a little further out.
