This practical base in Crystal Palace puts you in a prime position to explore Crystal Palace Park, and the convenient transport links nearby mean you can reach Central London in just twenty-five minutes by train. While the understated interiors of this Victorian apartment aren’t the most inspiring, there’s a sofa bed in the living area for more flexible sleeping arrangements and you’ve got access to a large communal garden equipped with outdoor seating – perfect for alfresco drinks and meals when the weather is balmy.


Home truths:
*There's no lift in the building, so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility
*At capacity, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area – this will be at the expense of lounge space however, so we think this home is best suited to two guests
*A cot is available on request
*The decor here is functional and the bathroom may feel a little dated to some
*The building's entrance and garden are shared with the other residents
*There's no desk here, but the dining table can double up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*It's possible you might hear some noise from neighbours during your stay
*We recommend skipping the car here and exploring London on foot or by public transport instead
