Why we love it
The setting
Palmers Lodge Swiss Cottage sits in a Victorian mansion in north-west London, a short walk from Swiss Cottage Underground station. The Jubilee line gets you into the West End in around fifteen minutes, so you can stay in a quieter residential area and still reach central London quickly. Finchley Road — shops, cinema, all a few minutes on foot.
What to expect
Private doubles, mixed dorms, single-sex dorms — all inside a grand old house with high ceilings and the original features still intact. Free Wi-Fi everywhere, lockers in the dorms, shared bathrooms that stay clean. A continental breakfast is available for a small charge each morning rather than being included in the rate.
Things to do nearby
Swiss Cottage station is about 250 metres away, putting Baker Street, Bond Street and London Bridge within easy reach. Madame Tussauds is just under three kilometres south. Regent's Park and London Zoo? Easy walk, or one tube stop — and Hampstead Heath sits close by if you fancy a longer green wander.
Best for
A good fit for solo travellers and couples who want an affordable London base with a social atmosphere and quick transport links into the centre.
