Barking 2 Bed Apt with Parking & Good Travel Links
First Impressions
Barking 2 Bed Apt with Parking & Good Travel Links isn’t trying to be fancy, and honestly, that’s exactly what makes it work. This three-star apartment sits in Leslie Hitchcock House, which sounds more intimidating than it actually is — it’s just a modern residential building in Barking that happens to have everything you need for a proper London stay. The moment you walk in, you realize someone’s put real thought into making this feel like home rather than just another rental.
Location & Getting Around
Here’s the thing about Barking — it’s not central London, but that’s actually brilliant if you know how to work it. You’re genuinely well-connected here, with Barking station getting you into the city center in about 25 minutes on the District line. The area’s got this authentic East London vibe without the tourist prices, and there’s a Tesco just around the corner for those inevitable grocery runs. I mean, you’ll spend half what you’d pay in Zone 1 for accommodation, and the train connections are honestly better than some “trendy” neighborhoods.
The Space Itself
The two-bedroom setup works really well — one proper double and another room that’s perfect for kids or friends who don’t mind slightly snugger quarters. What I actually love is the kitchen situation; it’s got everything you need to cook actual meals, which saves a fortune when you’re staying more than a couple nights. The living area’s got decent space to spread out, and there’s something refreshing about having proper windows that open — you know, like a real home.
The Parking Advantage
Look, parking in London is usually a nightmare and costs a fortune, so having a dedicated spot included is genuinely game-changing. If you’re driving in from elsewhere in the UK or planning day trips outside the city, this alone probably saves you £20-30 per day compared to what you’d pay in central areas. The building’s secure too, so you’re not worrying about your car while you’re out exploring the city.
Why Guests Love It
With a rating of 9, people clearly get what this place offers — it’s practical, comfortable, and gives you proper value. You’re not paying for marble bathrooms or a concierge, but you are getting a clean, well-equipped base that lets you experience London without the tourist markup. The combination of space, transport links, and that precious parking spot creates something that’s actually quite hard to find — especially at this price point in the London area.
Early hotels booking in London secures West End tickets, rooftop cocktail nights, and small-group afternoon tea sessions.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
