Radisson RED London Greenwich The O2

Radisson RED London Greenwich The O2 Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Radisson RED London Greenwich The O2, you immediately get that this isn’t your typical corporate hotel. The design feels fresh and contemporary — honestly, it’s got this vibrant energy that matches the whole Greenwich Peninsula vibe. I mean, you’re literally a stone’s throw from The O2, so the location already tells you this place is about being in the thick of things. The lobby has this modern, almost playful aesthetic that sets the tone for what’s clearly a four-star property with personality.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s the thing about Greenwich — most people think of the Royal Observatory and maritime history, but this part of the peninsula is completely different. You’re right next to The O2 Arena, which means if you’re catching a concert or event, you can literally walk there in minutes. The Thames Clipper service runs regularly from nearby piers, giving you this brilliant river route into central London that tourists often miss. There’s also parking available on-site, which honestly is a godsend in London — you know how impossible it can be to find a spot anywhere decent.

The Room Experience

The room design follows that same contemporary thread from downstairs, with bold colors and modern fixtures that actually work well together. What I really appreciated was the attention to practical details — good lighting for actually reading, decent workspace if you need it, and a bathroom that doesn’t feel cramped. The beds are comfortable enough that you’ll sleep well after a long day exploring London, and the soundproofing is pretty solid considering you’re so close to a major entertainment venue.

Breakfast & Dining

The breakfast setup here is actually quite impressive — they’ve got everything from full English to continental options, plus they’re really good about dietary requirements with vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free choices. The buffet style works well, though if you’re rushing to catch an early Thames Clipper or heading straight to a meeting, they do breakfast to go which is thoughtful. The restaurant area has this relaxed atmosphere where you can take your time, and the coffee is definitely above average for a hotel.

Why Guests Love It

What really makes this place work is how it balances being close to major attractions without feeling touristy. Couples seem to particularly love the location — and I can see why, because you get easy access to both the entertainment district and the historic parts of Greenwich. The staff genuinely seem to know the area well, so they can point you toward things like the best river walks or where to catch the cable car across to Canary Wharf. It’s one of those hotels where you feel like you’re staying somewhere that locals might actually choose, not just a place that caters to tour groups.

London’s apartments welcome families with playrooms, porter service, and easy rail hops to museums.
