Spacious 2BR Greenwich Apartment , Free Parking, 2 mins to DLR & Shopping
First Impressions
Okay, so Spacious 2BR Greenwich Apartment, Free Parking, 2 mins to DLR & Shopping isn’t your typical hotel — it’s actually more like staying in someone’s really well-sorted flat in Lewisham. When I first arrived at Century House 13, I’ll be honest, the building itself looks pretty standard from the outside, but once you’re inside this apartment, it’s a completely different story. You get two proper bedrooms, which is brilliant if you’re traveling with family or friends who don’t fancy sharing a tiny hotel room for a week.
The Space and Setup
The apartment genuinely feels spacious — none of that cramped London living you might expect. The kitchen is actually functional, meaning you can cook a proper meal instead of surviving on meal deals from Tesco. I mean, having your own fridge and cooking facilities saves you loads of money, especially in London where eating out constantly will drain your wallet fast. The living area’s got decent seating, and honestly, after long days exploring the city, having somewhere to properly spread out makes such a difference.
Location and Getting Around
Here’s the thing about Lewisham — it’s not central London, but that DLR connection is genuinely two minutes away, and it gets you to Canary Wharf in about fifteen minutes. The shopping center right there has everything you need for basics, plus there’s a massive Sainsbury’s if you want to stock up on groceries. You know what’s actually great about this area? It feels like real London, not touristy London — proper local pubs, diverse food spots, and you’re not constantly dodging crowds of people taking selfies.
Practical Perks
That free parking situation is honestly worth its weight in gold if you’re driving in London. Most places charge you £20-30 a night just to park, so having a guaranteed spot included is massive. The apartment’s got all the usual stuff you’d expect — WiFi that actually works, decent shower pressure, and enough plug sockets that you won’t be playing musical chairs with your chargers. It’s not fancy, but everything functions properly, which is more than I can say for some boutique places I’ve stayed at.
Why Guests Love It
Look, if you want marble bathrooms and concierge service, this isn’t your spot. But if you want proper space, your own kitchen, free parking, and easy transport links without paying central London prices, it’s actually brilliant value. The 8.2 rating makes sense — it delivers exactly what it promises without any pretense. Families especially seem to love having the extra bedroom and the freedom to do their own thing, plus being able to pop to the shops or grab a pint at the local without feeling like tourists. It’s London living, just temporarily.
Apartments in London suit families with bright bay windows, full kitchens, and sunset loops through Hyde Park paths.
