Residence Inn by Marriott London Bridge Overview
So here’s the thing about the Residence Inn London Bridge – it’s one of those places that actually gets the extended stay concept right, even if you’re just crashing for a weekend. I mean, you walk into your room and there’s a proper kitchen with full-size appliances, not some sad mini-fridge situation. The suites are genuinely spacious too, which honestly surprised me given how cramped most London hotels can be.
The location is what really sold me though. You’re on Long Lane in Southwark, which sounds kind of industrial but it’s actually this perfect sweet spot. Borough Market is literally a five-minute walk – and I’m talking about the real market, not just the touristy bit everyone photographs. You can grab proper coffee and pastries in the morning, then wander over to the Thames Path without dealing with the madness around London Bridge station (though that’s walkable too if you need the Tube). The Shard looms over everything, sure, but you’re far enough away that it doesn’t feel like you’re staying in a tourist fishbowl.
What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night. Southwark can be busy during the day with all the office workers, but once evening hits, it settles down nicely. The hotel itself has this modern, clean vibe without being sterile – lots of natural light in the lobby and common areas. The staff actually seem to know the neighborhood, which sounds basic but you’d be amazed how rare that is. When I asked about decent pubs nearby, the front desk guy immediately pointed me toward The George on Borough High Street instead of some generic chain place. That kind of local knowledge makes a difference. Check-in was smooth, parking is available (though pricey, because London), and honestly the whole experience felt more like borrowing a friend’s really nice flat than staying in a corporate hotel. The 8.2 rating makes sense – it’s not going to blow your mind, but it does everything well without any real complaints.
