The Angerstein Hotel

Classic Pub Charm Just Minutes from the O2

A budget-friendly Victorian gem, The Angerstein Hotel sits just a 10-minute drive from the O2 Arena and the heart of Greenwich. With a relaxed, old-school pub vibe, this 1888-built hotel offers a laid-back stay in southeast London. It's only a 2-minute walk to Westcombe Park Station, so central London and top music venues are easily within reach.

Rooms are simple but comfy, each with a seating area, flat-screen TV, and tea and coffee facilities. Downstairs, the traditional pub setting comes with darts, pool tables, and Sky Sports on the big screen — ideal for unwinding before or after a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

The Angerstein Hotel is a quick and easy ride to the O2 Arena, making it perfect for catching a big gig without getting stuck in traffic. Trains from nearby Westcombe Park Station take you to London Bridge in just 15 minutes. While the hotel sits on a main road, the pub closes at a reasonable hour, so you're not likely to be kept up late unless you want to be. With flexible check-in from 14:00 and a laid-back atmosphere, it's a great base for a concert night out.

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the pub bar serves a wide range of drinks and offers a social setting before or after your event. You’ll find plenty of eateries, takeaways, and late-night food spots within walking distance in Greenwich. For a quick morning bite, local cafes open early, perfect for a late brunch after a night out.

Nightlife Options

The on-site bar is a real local’s pub — think pool tables, darts, and Sky Sports. While it’s not a party spot, it's great for pre-drinks or winding down. Nearby Greenwich has a vibrant mix of bars, clubs, and traditional pubs to explore, especially around the market area and riverside.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, the affordable price, and the excellent location for O2 events. Many highlight the easy transport links and say it’s a great value for a short stay. The pub atmosphere is often described as genuine and welcoming, perfect for travelers who want a taste of local London.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are basic and the decor is a bit dated — but that’s part of the charm for many guests. There’s no lift, so those with mobility issues may want to request a lower floor. The hotel doesn’t serve food on-site, but with Greenwich close by, you won’t be short on options.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a show at the O2 and want a simple, budget-friendly place to stay with character and convenience, The Angerstein Hotel is a solid pick.
