Hammersmith – Large 2 Bed Flat – Close to London Olympia, Westfield and Eventim Apollo, Sleeps 6

First Impressions

The Hammersmith – Large 2 Bed Flat – Close to London Olympia, Westfield and Eventim Apollo, Sleeps 6 isn’t your typical hotel — it’s actually a proper flat that feels like staying at a friend’s place in west London. Located on Shepherds Bush Road, you’re right in the thick of things but not drowning in tourist crowds. I mean, you can walk to three major venues without breaking a sweat, which honestly makes this place pretty brilliant for anyone catching shows or events.

The Space Itself

This four-star apartment genuinely sleeps six people without anyone having to fight over bed space. The two bedrooms are properly sized — not those cramped London boxes you sometimes get — and there’s a decent living area where you can actually spread out. The kitchen is fully equipped, which saved me a fortune since eating out in this area can get pricey quickly. You know what really impressed me? The place feels lived-in but well-maintained, like someone actually cares about the details.

Location Perks

Here’s where this flat really shines — you’re genuinely close to everything the name promises. Westfield is about a 15-minute walk, and trust me, that shopping center has everything you could possibly need. The Eventim Apollo is even closer, maybe 10 minutes on foot, so if you’re catching a gig there, you can literally walk home afterward instead of dealing with night buses. London Olympia is the furthest, but still totally walkable if you don’t mind a bit of exercise.

Getting Around

The transport links are actually brilliant from here. Hammersmith station is close enough that getting into central London doesn’t feel like a massive trek — you’re looking at maybe 20-30 minutes to reach the main tourist spots. What I really appreciated was having multiple tube lines within reach, so you’re not stuck if one line has weekend engineering works. The neighborhood itself has that authentic London residential feel, with proper pubs and local shops mixed in with the bigger chains.

Why Guests Love It

Look, if you want hotel service and daily housekeeping, this isn’t for you. But if you’re after space, value, and a base that puts you near major venues without the central London price tag, this flat delivers. The fact that it consistently gets top ratings tells you everything — people come here expecting a comfortable place to crash, and they get exactly that plus some extra perks they weren’t counting on. It’s particularly perfect for groups who want to split costs but still have their own space to retreat to.
