London Apartment with Wembley view
First Impressions
The London Apartment with Wembley view sits on a quiet residential street in Brent, and honestly, you’d walk right past it if you didn’t know what you were looking for. But that’s actually part of its charm — it feels like you’re staying in a proper London neighborhood rather than some touristy bubble. The building itself is typical northwest London Victorian, nothing fancy from the outside, but once you’re inside, you realize this four-star spot has been thoughtfully converted into something quite special.
The Space Itself
This isn’t your typical hotel room — it’s a full apartment that actually feels like someone’s home (in the best way possible). The kitchen is properly equipped, not just one of those sad hotel kitchenettes with a broken microwave. I mean, you can actually cook here if you want to, though with London’s food scene, I’m not sure why you would. The Wembley view they mention? It’s real, and you can see the iconic arch from the windows, especially nice when there’s a match on and you can watch the crowds streaming toward the stadium.
Location Insights
Gifford Road might not sound glamorous, but it’s actually brilliant for getting around. You’re a short walk to Harlesden station, which puts you on the Bakerloo line — straight shot to Oxford Circus in about 20 minutes. The neighborhood itself is wonderfully diverse, with some genuinely good Caribbean food spots nearby that most tourists never discover. There’s also street parking available, which is honestly a miracle in London, though you’ll still need to figure out the resident permit situation.
What Sets It Apart
The 9.1 rating makes sense once you’ve stayed here — it’s the little things that add up. The WiFi actually works properly (crucial for anyone working remotely), the shower has decent pressure, and the heating responds when you adjust it. The hosts clearly know what they’re doing; everything from check-in to checkout just flows smoothly. Plus, having that extra space to spread out after days of cramped Tube rides and crowded attractions feels like such a relief.
Why Guests Love It
You know what really struck me? It’s that perfect balance between being close enough to central London to matter, but far enough out to feel like you’re experiencing the city locals actually live in. When Wembley has events, you’re right in the action — the energy is infectious. When it’s quiet, you get to enjoy a more residential side of London that most visitors miss completely. The apartment gives you independence without sacrificing comfort, and that view of the stadium arch never gets old, especially when it lights up at night.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
