It was a last-ditch effort, but I found it after a work function ran late. It was nice, cosy, and the rooms were clean. Breakfast was lovely, coffee was hot and the staff were bleary-eyed by friendly (I keep some strange hours). Close to public transport, just be sure to arrive during business hours if you want help with your... More

Stayed here for a weekend break. Not my choice, a friend made the booking. It was clean, my room was huge, the ensuite very very tiny. What on earth possessed the owner of the place at the time to put such a tiny shower room in a room that was so huge!! Felt safe walking from the tube late at... More

Overall, I would say the Black Lion is good value for the price. If you're on a budget, I'd definitely recommend. The room was basic, but clean. (The shower room was tiny, but again, for the price I paid you'd have to be mad to complain about stuff like that!) The bed was very comfortable and the pub below is... More

It's right on the main road, which was thankful because I had to find it late in the night. A bleary-eyed security guard welcomed us and showed me to my room. In the morning we had breakfast (included in the room price) in the restaurant and I got a look at the place. It's lovely and classically decorated, a typical... More

Booked for my parents in law for two nights when they came to visit, after a previous successful stay. Found it to be very good value for money. Clean and comfortable with pleasant friendly staff. Excellent breakfast.

This pub is undoubtably the grandest room ever , lovely high ceilings and spacious comfortable seating. I cannot comment on the b&b side of things. Food is very over priced , small menu and small portions . What upset me most was , when the female bar staff , asked me to move my buggy as she was passing through... More

I booked for me and 3 friends to stay here for the NFL at Wembley. I booked it in February, a good 8 months in advance to make sure I would get the room. I phoned the day before we were due to stay and they had the booking but only booked it as a double room despite the fact... More

I am sorry you feel your reservation was not dealt with in a swift manner, However the error with your booking was down to a computer glitch, as your booking was made online and all online bookings are allocated to rooms according to the information guest give, except on this occasion the booking system allocated you into an inappropriate room....
