Easy Access, Great Value Stay Just Outside London
Modern and budget-friendly,
ibis London Thurrock M25 is a no-fuss hotel just off the M25 and A13, ideal for concert-goers who want to stay outside the city but within easy reach of the action. Located less than a mile from Lakeside Shopping Centre and around 2 miles from Grays Railway Station, it offers straightforward access to London venues and beyond—plus free parking and 24/7 reception service.
Why Concert-goers love it
With quick access to major roads,
getting to and from shows is a breeze. Grays Station is nearby, and from there, London’s top music venues are a short train ride away. Travelling internationally? Ebbsfleet International Station is just 15 minutes by car for Eurostar connections. After the show, you’ll find the hotel’s location
peaceful and quiet—perfect for some post-gig rest. Plus, the
flexible 12:00 check-out gives you time to sleep in after a late night.
Who this Hotel is great for
- Groups of friends road-tripping to a concert with free parking included
- Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list gig with easy rail access
- Couples looking for a simple, budget-friendly weekend base
- Fans needing quiet recovery time post-show
- Budget-conscious music lovers who prefer not to pay central London prices
Food and Drink Options
While there’s no full-service restaurant,
hot snacks and drinks are available 24/7—a big plus after a late concert. You’ll also find
plenty of restaurants and fast food options at Lakeside Shopping Centre, just minutes away. No need to rush out in the morning either—breakfast is available, and check-out isn’t until noon.
Nightlife Options
While the hotel itself is more about rest than revelry, there are
bars and pubs around Lakeside and Grays if you want to keep the night going. Or bring your own drinks back and relax in the hotel’s
casual lounge area.
