CityStay 1 Bed Flat In Hendon- Free Parking
First Impressions
CityStay 1 Bed Flat In Hendon- Free Parking might have a no-nonsense name, but honestly, that’s part of its charm — you know exactly what you’re getting. This three-star self-catering flat sits in a quiet residential block on Swynford Gardens, and I mean quiet. The moment you step inside, you realize this isn’t your typical cramped London apartment — there’s actually space to breathe here.
The Space That Works
The room layout makes sense in a way that many London rentals just don’t. The bedroom feels properly separate from the living area, which is brilliant if you’re staying longer than a weekend or traveling with someone who keeps different hours. The kitchen isn’t an afterthought either — it’s got everything you need to actually cook, not just reheat takeaway.
Location & Getting Around
Here’s what I love about Colindale — it’s one of those North London neighborhoods that locals know but tourists often miss. You’re on the Northern Line, which gets you into central London in about 25 minutes, but the area itself has this suburban feel that’s refreshing after battling the crowds in Zone 1. There’s a Tesco just down the road, and honestly, having proper grocery shopping nearby changes everything when you’re staying somewhere with cooking facilities.
The Practical Stuff
The free parking is genuinely free — no sneaky charges or complicated permits to figure out. If you’re driving in London (brave soul), this alone probably saves you £15-20 a night compared to most places. The flat itself feels well-maintained, though don’t expect designer touches — it’s clean, functional, and comfortable rather than Instagram-worthy.
Why Guests Keep Coming Back
What strikes me most is how this place just works for different types of travelers. Business folks appreciate the reliable WiFi and quiet environment for calls, while families love having space to spread out without paying Zone 1 prices. The 8.5 rating makes sense — it’s not trying to be something it’s not, but it delivers solidly on what it promises. You know what? Sometimes that’s exactly what you need in London.
