I need help with hotels in London

34 replies

Sorry for posting under AIBU, but I'm stressing out trying to find a hotel when I actually don't know what I'm looking for! So we're going to the minecraft experience in London next month, the address is Corner Corner, Maritime St, London SE16 7LL. In Canada water. I've never been to London and am travelling from South wales. After searching for hotels using the postcode, so many hotels come up, but does anyone know what the best area would be for easy and quick access to the event? If anyone could help me, I'd be so grateful 🙏

Any Premier Inn near a Jubilee Line station would probably work.

Or the DLR.

Download the CityMapper app to help get to your destination.

I would stay at the Premier Inn in Bankside, London Bridge, then it's a 15 minute hop on the Jubilee line to Canada Water. London Bridge has loads to do like Borough Market, the Thames Path, loads of nice places to eat and drink...

I don't want to sound unkind but have you ever booked a hotel before? Filter the results based on price, star rating, breakfast, budget and then pick one nearby. We don't know how much you want to spend, how you are travelling, who is going so it's tricky to help loads.

Have fun.

I guess it's the areas she is unsure about.

Are you just attending the event or do you want to do other things while you are there?

What's your budget op - just as low as poss? Anything else you're wanting to do whilst there?

Do you just need somewhere to sleep, or looking for something more special?

Look for a premier inn nearby you cannot go wrong and know what you getting
