Central City Oasis – Sleeps 4 Parking Included 3 Mins walk to Queens Station
First Impressions
When I first spotted Central City Oasis – Sleeps 4 Parking Included 3 Mins walk to Queens Station, I’ll admit the name made me chuckle — it’s refreshingly honest about what you’re getting. This four-star apartment sits on a quiet stretch of Queens Road in London’s Peckham area, and honestly, the “oasis” part isn’t far off. The building itself is modern and well-kept, with that clean, no-nonsense vibe you want when you’re hauling luggage after a long journey.
The Space That Actually Works
Inside, the apartment genuinely sleeps four people comfortably — I’ve seen too many places that squeeze bodies into every corner, but this one gets it right. The main room flows nicely into the living area, and there’s a proper double bed plus a sofa that actually converts into something you’d want to sleep on. The kitchen is compact but functional, with everything you need to make breakfast or heat up those Sainsbury’s ready meals (no judgment here). What struck me most was how bright everything felt — large windows bring in plenty of natural light, which makes a huge difference when you’re staying somewhere for more than a night.
Location and Getting Around
Here’s where this place really shines — that three-minute walk to Queens Road Peckham station isn’t an exaggeration. I timed it myself, and even with a suitcase, you’re looking at maybe four minutes tops. The Overground connection gets you into central London in about 20 minutes, which honestly beats a lot of pricier options in Zone 1. Plus, there’s actual parking included, and if you’ve ever tried to park in London, you know that’s worth its weight in gold.
The Neighborhood Reality
Peckham has this interesting energy — it’s not touristy at all, but that’s actually refreshing. You’ve got proper local spots within walking distance, including some surprisingly good cafes and that massive Tesco just down the road. The area feels safe and lived-in, with families and young professionals going about their daily business. I mean, it’s not Covent Garden, but you’re getting authentic London life without the tourist markup on everything.
Why Guests Love It
This place works because it delivers exactly what it promises without any pretense. The 8.3 rating makes sense when you consider the combination of space, location, and that rare London amenity — included parking. It’s perfect for families or friends traveling together who want their own space but don’t want to break the bank on accommodation. You know what really sealed it for me though? The little touches like proper blackout curtains and a washing machine — the kind of practical stuff that makes a real difference when you’re actually living somewhere, not just passing through.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
