First Impressions
Pass the Keys Lovely modern flat Olympic Park caught my attention immediately — and honestly, it’s one of those places that delivers exactly what it promises. The name says it all: modern, well-designed, and positioned perfectly near Olympic Park. I mean, you can actually see the iconic stadium structures from certain angles, which never gets old.
Location & Getting Around
The E20 postcode puts you right in Stratford, which has become this fascinating mix of Olympic legacy and East London authenticity. What I love about staying here is that Westfield Stratford City is practically on your doorstep — perfect for those late-night shopping runs or grabbing dinner when you can’t be bothered to venture far. The transport links are honestly brilliant; Stratford station connects you to the Central, Jubilee, and DLR lines, so getting into central London takes maybe 20 minutes.
The Apartment Experience
This four-star apartment feels genuinely modern rather than trying-too-hard trendy. The space is thoughtfully laid out with clean lines and plenty of natural light streaming through large windows. The kitchen is actually functional — I’m talking proper counter space and appliances that work intuitively, not those tiny hotel setups where you can barely make toast.
What Makes It Special
You know what really impressed me? The attention to detail without being fussy about it. The furniture feels quality, the Wi-Fi actually works reliably (crucial for work calls), and there’s proper storage space for your stuff. The room layout makes sense too — you’re not constantly bumping into things or wondering where to put your suitcase. It’s the kind of place where you settle in quickly and start feeling at home rather than like a temporary visitor.
Why Guests Love It
The Olympic Park location gives you this unique London experience that’s different from the usual tourist zones. You can jog through Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in the morning, explore the ArcelorMittal Orbit if you’re feeling adventurous, or just enjoy having space to breathe — something that’s pretty rare in London accommodation. Plus, parking is actually manageable here if you’re driving, which is a massive bonus. It’s one of those stays where you get modern comfort, genuine convenience, and a bit of London’s newer character all wrapped up together.
Locals suggest to book apartments in London around South Bank for riverside dining, market stops, and easy city crossings.
