The Spotlight on The Lion & Key Hotel

Stylish Comfort Near London’s Top Music Venues

The Lion & Key Hotel offers a modern, boutique-style stay in Leyton, just 1.5 miles from the Olympic Village in Stratford. With contemporary rooms, free WiFi, and thoughtful amenities like tea and coffee facilities, hairdryers, and minibars, this hotel is an excellent base for concert-goers heading into Central London or East London's vibrant music scene.

Why Concert-goers love it

Thanks to its location near Leyton tube (Central Line) and Leyton Midland Road rail station, The Lion & Key Hotel keeps you well-connected for gigs across London. Getting back late is stress-free, and with 24-hour room service and luggage storage, you can keep flexible schedules without a hitch. Plus, it’s tucked away enough to offer a quieter night's sleep after a lively show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who need affordable, stylish rooms
  • Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list concert
  • Couples planning a fun weekend around a show
  • Fans who appreciate a quieter spot to recharge
  • Budget-conscious music lovers wanting value and comfort

Food and Drink Options

Feeling peckish after a late-night encore? The Lion & Key Hotel offers 24/7 room service to satisfy your cravings anytime. While there isn’t an on-site restaurant, you'll find plenty of casual dining options within walking distance. Breakfast is available too — ideal if you’ve had a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about relaxing than partying, you’re just a quick ride away from Stratford’s buzzing bars and lounges. If you prefer something closer, Leyton and Walthamstow offer local pubs and chill spots to grab a craft beer or cocktail before or after your show.

What People Say

Guests consistently highlight the spotless modern rooms, excellent value, and friendly, helpful staff. Many reviewers love the easy access to public transport and the relaxed, quiet atmosphere that’s perfect after a big night out.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the walk to the nearest tube station (over 10 minutes) can feel a bit long after a late night, and breakfast isn’t included in all rates. But overall, these are minor points compared to the value and comfort you get.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a stylish, affordable base with easy connections to London’s best concerts and a comfy place to crash after the show, The Lion & Key Hotel is an excellent choice.

Comfortable, clean and very friendly...

Liked: Room was clean and comfortable. Staff very helpful and friendly. Breakfast excellent, 'The Turk' is an absolute feast.
Disliked: Parking was difficult. The hotel says it has parking, but there are only about 5 spaces and none of these were available on our arrival. We were able to park, with difficulty in a local street but this was resident only parking from 08:00 so we had to move the car early the next day. When available parking in the hotel is charged for.

Nice hotel in an area...

Liked: The value paid for this room and location was a plus. There are not many options in this area, so I was happy to have found this hotel. I was traveling alone to visit family nearby, so I did not need a ton of amenities in my hotel choice - just a nice, clean, safe hotel, with a nice bed to rest at night, and it met this need for me! Hotel also has a restaurant and bar and serves breakfast in the mornings for a fee if you choose. It looked nice, though I did not need this option.
Disliked: Rooms are small (but this is London outskirts), and I was traveling alone while visiting family in London proper, and not planning to spend anytime in the hotel room, so I was OK with it. Bathroom and Shower are very small, even for 1 person.

Ideal

Liked: I liked the price and cleanliness most of all. The room was a basic basement room with two single beds. It was not over heated as some hotels are so great. Comfy bed.Location was great as close to where my family live. Good location for tourism too as central line so close by.
Disliked: The extractor in the bathroom did not work. So very steamy after showers. I reported this and it was noted.
