Book directly on the Premier Inn website to snag the best rates—you can often find “Saver” offers that include breakfast for a fiver. Also, the hotel is a short tube ride from London Bridge station, so pack light and use the luggage lockers if you arrive early.
For a cultural hit, walk five minutes to The Shard and take the lift to the viewing platform. Yes, it’s touristy, but the view of the city at dusk is worth the £30 ticket. Alternatively, skip the charge and grab a drink at the Sky Pod Bar—same view, cheaper price.
Fun Fact: The Hotel’s History
The building itself was once a 1960s office block, but the Hub team gutted it and injected it with sleek, sustainable design. They even recycled old furniture into art for the lobby. So yes, you’re sleeping in a piece of low-key London history.
