Overview

First Impressions

Your perfect holiday experience Flat near London Bridge -16mins and O2 arena – 8mins — yes, that’s actually the full name, and honestly, it tells you everything you need to know right upfront. This apartment sits in a modern block called Dawes House in Greenwich, and I’ll be straight with you — the location is what makes this place shine. It’s one of those spots where you feel like you’ve discovered a secret that other tourists haven’t figured out yet.

Location That Actually Works

The transport links here are genuinely impressive, and I mean that in a practical way, not just travel-website hyperbole. You’re looking at 16 minutes to London Bridge on the DLR, which puts you right in the heart of things without paying central London prices for accommodation. The O2 Arena really is just 8 minutes away — I’ve done that journey myself, and it’s almost too easy. What surprised me most was how well-connected Greenwich feels; you can pop over to Canary Wharf in about 10 minutes if you’re into that glittery financial district vibe.

The Space Itself

This is a proper four-star setup in a residential building, so you’re getting that local living experience rather than the typical hotel bubble. The room is well-planned with everything you actually need — decent Wi-Fi, proper heating, and a kitchen that’s functional enough for more than just making tea. I appreciated the attention to practical details; there are enough plugs in sensible places, and the shower has proper water pressure, which honestly can’t be taken for granted in London.

Greenwich Neighborhood Gems

Here’s what I really love about staying in this area — you’re in proper Greenwich, which means you can wander down to the market, check out the Royal Observatory if you’re feeling touristy, or just grab a pint along the Thames. The neighborhood has that village-in-the-city feel that’s getting harder to find in London. There’s a Tesco nearby for essentials, and the local pubs actually serve decent food without charging tourist prices.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to win any design awards, but it delivers exactly what it promises. You get a clean, comfortable base that’s genuinely well-positioned for exploring both central London and the Greenwich area. The value proposition makes sense — you’re paying less than you would for a cramped hotel room in Zone 1, but you’re still connected enough to get anywhere you need to go. It’s the kind of place that works particularly well if you’re planning to see shows at the O2 or want to explore South London properly, rather than just hitting the usual West End tourist trail.

"Very good"
Everything was good, quite nice property and the hosts as well
What could be improved: Only one thing let us upset when we stayed that no water next day whole afternoon in that property, we could not use the toilet and couldn’t wash hands

"Good value for money"
It was good value for money in London, really good transport links. We were a 2 minute walk from Kidbrook station and the square nearby had a Tesco and a Sainsbury's as well. It was clean and the hosts were lovely, having left helpful bits and bobs for us such as milk, cereal and bread.

The property was lovely, clean and the building and area was gorgeous. The host was really nice and made us feel very welcome. It’s a great place to stay to get some peace and quiet due to its location . the station was a 2 minute walk from the property too!

"L'appartement était joli et assez grand mais pas très propre et pas conçu pour 3 adultes"
Il n'y avait pas de petit déjeuner inclus. L'appartement se situait à environ 30 minutes du London Bridge en train donc ce n'est pas très "près". L'annonce disait "near London Bridge", c'est une question d'appréciation
What could be improved: Il est mentionné qu'il y a une kitchenette. Toutefois il n'était pas autorisé d'utiliser les plaques de cuisson mais seulement le four et micro-onde très sales. Le canapé lit était trop petit pour ma fille de 170 cm alors que nous avons réservé pour 3 adultes. Elle a dû dormir en travers du canapé avec des différences de hauteur. De plus il n'y avait que 2 chaises avec une table minuscule alors que nous étions trois
