Commis Chef

For guests visiting London for business or pleasure, our hotel in Croydon is perfect for those not wishing to be in the hustle and bustle of busy London, but still close by. Our Croydon property offers affordable hotel rooms at a central location with The Whitgift Shopping centre over the road and East Croydon Station a short 3-4 minute walk away. if you are travelling abroad, Croydon offers an ideal stop over location with frequent train services to Gatwick Airport which is only a 20 minute ride away. For those wanting to go into Central London for a leisure day, or for business, East Croydon Station is a short 17 minute train ride to London Victoria or London Bridge. However, there is plenty to discover in Croydon with various Heritage sites to explore. The Queen's Gardens are an easy 6 minute walk and Shirley Park Golf Course is a 7 minute drive away. If you are driving to the hotel you can park in the Whitgift Centre NCP car park and enjoy a discounted rate of just £6 for 24 hours (validate parking ticket at reception before check out).
