Modern 1 bed flat 5 min from tube! London, Parking, Wembley Stadium
First Impressions
The Modern 1 bed flat 5 min from tube! London, Parking, Wembley Stadium might have a mouthful of a name, but honestly, it tells you everything you need to know upfront. I found this three-star gem tucked away on Kenton Road, and while it’s not flashy from the outside, there’s something refreshing about a place that delivers exactly what it promises. The moment you step inside, you realize this isn’t trying to be something it’s not — it’s just a really well-thought-out apartment that actually works for travelers.
Location & Getting Around
Here’s the thing about staying in Kenton — you’re genuinely five minutes from the tube, which means central London is maybe 20-25 minutes away depending on where you’re headed. The Metropolitan line runs pretty frequently, and I found myself zipping into Baker Street or King’s Cross without much hassle. What surprised me was how quiet the area feels despite being so connected. You’ve got proper neighborhood pubs within walking distance, a decent Tesco just down the road, and — this is key — actual parking that doesn’t cost you a fortune.
The Space Itself
The room setup is honestly pretty clever. It’s a proper one-bedroom flat, not some cramped studio masquerading as an apartment. The kitchen has everything you’d actually use — decent-sized fridge, proper cooktop, even a dishwasher which saved me from doing dishes after picking up groceries from the local shops. The bed was comfortable enough that I didn’t wake up feeling like I’d wrestled with the mattress all night, and there’s enough storage space that you’re not living out of your suitcase.
Wembley & Entertainment
If you’re here for an event at Wembley Stadium, you’ve basically hit the jackpot. I mean, you can practically walk there if you don’t mind a 15-minute stroll, or it’s one tube stop away. After a concert, while everyone else is fighting for expensive parking or packed trains back into central London, you’re already nearly home. The area gets buzzing on event days — there’s this energy in the air as people stream toward the stadium, and honestly, it’s pretty fun to be part of that without dealing with the chaos of staying right in the thick of it.
Why Guests Love It
What really works about this place is that it solves the London accommodation puzzle differently. You’re not paying central London prices for a shoebox, but you’re not stuck somewhere that takes an hour to get anywhere either. The 9.2 rating makes sense once you’ve stayed here — it’s not fancy, but everything functions properly, the WiFi actually works, and you feel like you’re living in London rather than just visiting it. Plus, having your own space means you can grab dinner from the local curry house and eat it at your own table rather than perched on a hotel bed.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
