Cosy London holiday Home (Near O2 arena)
First Impressions
The Cosy London holiday Home (Near O2 arena) actually lives up to its name — and I mean that in the best way possible. It’s one of those places where you immediately feel like you’re staying in a friend’s well-appointed home rather than just another hotel. Located on Wricklemarsh Road in Blackheath, this four-star property has that perfect balance of being residential enough to feel authentic but polished enough that you know someone’s really thought about your comfort.
The Blackheath Advantage
Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re in Greenwich, which honestly gives you the best of both worlds. Blackheath itself is this lovely area that feels properly London without the tourist crowds, and the O2 is literally a short hop away when you want entertainment. The heath is right there for morning walks, and you know what? The local pubs actually serve decent food. It’s the kind of neighborhood where you’ll see families walking dogs and people heading to the train station with their coffee — real London life happening around you.
The Space Itself
The room feels more like a proper apartment setup, which I wasn’t expecting. There’s actually space to spread out your things without living out of a suitcase, and the kitchenette means you can grab groceries from the local shops and have breakfast on your own schedule. The furnishings are thoughtful — not fancy, but comfortable and clean, with those little touches that show someone who actually stays in hotels designed this place.
Getting Around
Transport-wise, you’re sorted. The DLR connections from this area are honestly better than a lot of central London spots, and when you factor in that parking is available (which, let’s be real, is gold dust in London), it opens up your options considerably. I mean, you can drive to other parts of the city without the stress of wondering where you’ll leave your car. Plus, being near the O2 means plenty of dining options within walking distance when you can’t be bothered to cook.
Why Guests Love It
This place works because it doesn’t try too hard. You’re not paying for marble lobbies or concierge services you probably won’t use anyway — you’re getting solid accommodation in a genuinely nice part of London that most tourists never see. The 8.2 rating makes sense when you consider what you’re actually getting: space, location, and the freedom to live a bit like a local. It’s particularly good if you’re planning to catch shows at the O2 or explore Greenwich properly, but honestly, even if you’re just using it as a base for central London adventures, the train links make everything accessible.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
