Amazing One bedroom Penthouse in Wimbledon
First Impressions
The Amazing One bedroom Penthouse in Wimbledon caught my attention immediately — and honestly, the name isn’t overselling it. This three-star property sits on Cranbrook Road in a modern building called Orion House, and when I walked into that seventh-floor flat, the ceiling height and natural light actually made me stop mid-conversation. You know what struck me most? The whole place feels like someone’s stylish London flat rather than a typical hotel room.
Location and Getting Around
Being in London‘s SW19 postcode puts you right in the heart of Wimbledon, which I’ll admit is pretty brilliant if you want that village-y feel without losing city access. The area around Cranbrook Road is residential but lively — there’s this great little coffee shop about two minutes’ walk away that locals actually use. You’re close enough to Wimbledon station that getting into central London doesn’t feel like a trek, but far enough from the tennis crowds (unless it’s tournament season, obviously) to have some peace.
The Space Itself
This penthouse setup really works well for travelers who want more than just a bed. The apartment has proper living space where you can actually spread out your stuff, and the kitchen means you don’t have to eat out every single meal — which, let’s be honest, gets expensive fast in London. The bedroom feels separate from the living area, so if you’re traveling with someone, you’re not constantly on top of each other. The windows are generous, and from the seventh floor you get decent views over the Wimbledon rooftops.
What Actually Matters
The WiFi works properly (I tested it extensively), the shower has good pressure, and there’s enough parking nearby that you won’t spend twenty minutes circling blocks if you’ve got a car. I mean, the building itself feels secure and well-maintained — you need a key card to get up to the floors, which gives you that reassurance when you’re hauling your luggage around London. The whole place stays surprisingly quiet considering you’re in a busy area, probably because of those thick windows.
Why Guests Keep Coming Back
Look, a 7.6 rating tells you this place does the basics really well without trying to be something it’s not. You get the space and freedom of having your own London flat, the practicality of that kitchenette for morning coffee or late-night snacks, and you’re positioned in one of London’s more charming neighborhoods. It’s particularly good if you’re staying more than just a couple nights — having that living room space where you can actually relax makes a difference when you’re not just sleeping somewhere between tourist activities.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
