Overview
First Impressions
The Beautiful apartment in Beckton with Private Entrance and Garden caught me off guard in the best possible way. I mean, when you think Beckton, you don’t automatically picture charming garden retreats — but here we are. This four-star property sits quietly on Emerald Close, and honestly, the name suits it perfectly with all that greenery around.
Location & Getting Around
Look, Beckton isn’t central London, but that’s actually part of its charm. You’re about a 20-minute DLR ride from Canary Wharf, which isn’t bad at all. The area feels residential and peaceful — you know what I mean, where locals walk their dogs and kids play in the streets. There’s a Tesco nearby for essentials, and the Cyprus DLR station is walkable if you don’t mind a bit of exercise.
The Space Itself
What really sets this place apart is that private entrance — no awkward hallway encounters or shared lobby moments. You’ve got your own front door, which feels surprisingly liberating. The apartment is well-laid-out with a proper kitchen that’s actually equipped for cooking, not just reheating takeaway. The living area connects nicely to the garden access, creating this indoor-outdoor flow that works especially well during warmer months.
The Garden Experience
Here’s where things get interesting — that garden space is genuinely lovely. It’s not huge, but it’s private and well-maintained, perfect for morning coffee or evening wine. I spent more time out there than I expected, just because it felt so different from typical London accommodation. There’s something refreshing about having outdoor space that’s actually yours during your stay, even temporarily.
Why Guests Love It
The 8.1 rating makes sense once you’ve stayed here. This isn’t about fancy amenities or room service — it’s about having a proper base that feels like home. The hosts clearly care about the details, from reliable WiFi to thoughtful touches in the room setup. Plus, there’s parking available, which anyone who’s driven in London will appreciate immensely. It’s the kind of place where you can actually unpack and settle in, rather than just crash between tourist activities.
Guest reviews
"Small, perfectly formed apartment - so convenient for Excel Centre, City Airport & transport links to the City. Love"
Perfect location for London city airport and the Excel centre & great transport links if you want to go into the city - all walkable. A small but perfectly formed apartment, ideal accommodation if you do don’t like hotels or just need a decent base for a few days. Quiet.

"Perfect if visiting ExCel London"
The location was great and the facilities provided were perfect for what we were after. Parking was an added bonus and the host was very accommodating.
What could be improved: Only small thing was that you could hear the upstairs neighbour in the apartment above walking around a lot throughout the night.

"Lovely flat with great close by links to underground and walking distance to ExCel"
It's a lovely little flat which is about 20min walk to the London ExCel centre. Very cosy and welcoming with all facilities and needs met. Host is very quick in replying and accommodating. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

"Good location for Excel and at a good rate."
The property was clean and well maintained. The bed was very comfortable, the shower powerful, and the lounge was relaxing (complete with large television). It was nice to find tea and coffee making facilities, a beer in the fridge and two bottles of water available. The Docklands Light Railway station (Royal Albert) was 5 minutes walk. Also, the owner, Abbe, was very responsive and my deposit was refunded very promptly.
What could be improved: The key lock was very low down - not good if you have a bad back - and you would need a torch to see it if you arrive in the evening. That’s a minor niggle though, everything else was ideal.

"A great night's sleep and a lovely shower in the morning, can't ask for much more!"
Very quiet location, super comfy bed, cleanliness was immaculate; complimentary coffee and biscuit for breakfast was nice. Neighbourhood seemed nice though we didn't spend much time in it, a helpful local helped us find the property. Kitchen was well equipped though we didn't use it much as we ate out.
What could be improved: Sofa wasn't the comfiest but it was fine for a night (didn't use the sofa bed so not sure about that). Can't say anything else bad about the place really.
