Skyvillion – London River Thames Top Floor Apartments by Woolwich Ferry, Mins to London ExCel, O2 Arena , London City Airport with Parking
First Impressions
You know what caught me off guard about Skyvillion – London River Thames Top Floor Apartments by Woolwich Ferry, Mins to London ExCel, O2 Arena , London City Airport with Parking? The name’s a bit of a mouthful, but honestly, it tells you everything you need to know. This four-star property sits right on the Thames in Greenwich, and when I say top floor, I mean it — you’re getting proper river views from these serviced apartments.
Location & Getting Around
The Greenwich location is actually pretty clever if you’re flying into City Airport or heading to events at ExCel or the O2. I mean, you’re not in central London, but that Woolwich Ferry mentioned in the name? It’s literally right there, and it’s free. Takes you across the Thames in minutes, plus there’s decent transport links into the city center. The parking situation is sorted too, which anyone who’s driven in London will tell you is worth its weight in gold.
The Apartment
These aren’t hotel rooms — they’re proper apartments with everything you’d need for a longer stay. The kitchen is fully fitted, not just some mini-fridge situation, so you can actually cook if you want to. What really makes it though is being on the top floor with those Thames views — there’s something about watching the river traffic that never gets old. The space feels more like a riverside flat than typical tourist accommodation.
Practical Perks
Here’s what I appreciated most: the whole setup just works for families or business travelers who need more than a standard hotel room. You’ve got washing facilities, proper storage, and enough space to spread out without feeling cramped. The building itself is modern — part of that whole Thames Gateway development — so everything feels fresh and well-maintained.
Why Guests Love It
Look, if you’re after boutique charm or want to be stumbling distance from Covent Garden, this isn’t your spot. But for anyone who values space, those river views, and easy access to East London’s business district, it’s actually brilliant. That 9-out-of-10 rating makes sense when you consider what you’re getting — it’s like having your own London riverside flat without the long-term lease.
