Best Western London Peckham Hotel
Best Western London Peckham Hotel is a hotel building in Southwark situated on busy Peckham Road and within walking distance of Peckham Rye tube station. The building dates back to 1849 with distinctive red and white brickwork and arched windows, and now offers small but clean rooms with bright colors, an Italian restaurant with a pizza oven, and shared areas including a lounge, terrace, and garden.
The building was constructed in 1849 and originally served a different purpose before becoming a hotel, undergoing renovation in 2016. The area in Peckham, once known as rough, has gradually transformed into a neighborhood with younger residents and growing cultural offerings.
The hotel sits in a neighborhood that has transformed over the years and now attracts young people and new cafes and bars. Many rooms feature decorations inspired by the British TV show 'Only Fools and Horses,' which was set nearby, with bright colors and playful details like a yellow van painted on the wall.
The hotel accepts only guests aged 18 and older and requires photo ID and a credit card upon arrival, as cash payments are not accepted. Heathrow Airport is around an hour's drive away, and bus lines outside the hotel provide easy connections to central London in approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
The hotel is known for featuring rooms decorated with elements from the British television series 'Only Fools and Horses,' including rooms with yellow headboards and graffiti-style wallpaper. This playful and unusual design choice makes it a destination for fans of the show and adds a touch of eccentricity to any stay.
