Eldon Chambers Flat 1 by City Living London

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Eldon Chambers Flat 1? Walking into Devereux Court feels like stumbling into one of those hidden London passages that tourists never find – honestly, I walked past the entrance twice before spotting it tucked between the larger buildings. It’s this narrow little courtyard that feels completely separate from the Strand chaos just steps away, which is pretty remarkable when you consider you’re basically in the heart of Westminster.

The flat itself has that satisfying mix of period character and actually functional modern stuff. I mean, you’re staying in what’s essentially a converted Victorian chamber building (hence the name), so there’s proper character here – high ceilings, original windows that actually open properly, decent natural light even though you’re surrounded by other buildings. The 4-star rating feels about right; it’s not trying to be some fancy hotel experience, but everything works well and feels thoughtfully put together. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night – Devereux Court doesn’t get foot traffic after business hours, so you’re not dealing with the usual central London street noise that can drive you mental when you’re trying to sleep.

Location-wise, this place is actually brilliant if you know London even a little bit. You’re literally a two-minute walk from Temple station, which puts you on the Circle and District lines without the tourist crowds of Covent Garden or Leicester Square stations. The Royal Courts of Justice are right there (you’ll probably see barristers in wigs walking around, which never gets old), and you can cut through Middle Temple to reach the Thames path – honestly one of my favorite bits of the river for an evening walk. Fleet Street’s around the corner if you want proper pubs, and you’re close enough to Somerset House and the South Bank that you can walk to most central attractions without dealing with the Tube. The 8.7 rating makes sense to me – it’s the kind of place that delivers exactly what it promises without any nasty surprises, and the location really can’t be beaten if you want to feel like you’re staying somewhere genuinely London rather than just tourist-London. Just know that it’s more “comfortable base for exploring” than “luxurious retreat,” which honestly suits most people better anyway.
