The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express London Croydon

Comfort Meets Convenience in the Heart of Croydon

Modern and budget-friendly, the Holiday Inn Express London Croydon sits in a lively part of South London that’s well-connected to the city’s top music scenes. With clean, comfortable rooms and a down-to-earth vibe, it’s a smart base for concert-goers who want easy access to London without paying central London prices.
Whether you’re heading out to a major arena or a smaller indie venue, the hotel’s location makes it simple to get there—and back again—stress free.

Why Concert-goers love it

Holiday Inn Express London Croydon is a favorite among music fans for its easy transport links to central London venues like the O2 and Brixton Academy. You’re just a short walk from East Croydon Station, where frequent trains take you into the city in under 20 minutes. The hotel’s quiet guest rooms offer a peaceful retreat after a loud night out, and with a 2pm check-in, you’ve got time to drop your bags before heading out. Croydon’s late-night buses and Ubers make getting home after the encore easy.

Nightlife Options

  • The hotel doesn't feature live music or a bar, but Croydon town centre is full of bars, clubs, and lounges just steps away
  • Explore nearby spots for local craft beers and cocktails
  • Quick train ride into central London if your night out continues beyond the venue

Great breakfast, clean rooms, easy...

Liked: We had a very nice stay here. We chose this place because we flew into Gatwick, and it's just about 15–20 minutes from the airport by train! We really enjoyed the breakfast: there were plenty of options, the staff kept the stations well-stocked, and they were always ready to help. Adrienn and Adela were especially kind to us! There are many shopping and dining options just a few steps away, and public transport connections are excellent. Bus, tram, train, tube—everything was within a short walk, which was a game-changer with kids.
