Hotel

The London Croydon Aerodrome Hotel, part of the Signature Collection Hotel by Best Western, is in an incredibly convenient location. Easy access to central London which is just 12 miles away and only 15 minutes by train from East Croydon Station.

The hotel has 110 bedrooms including family bedrooms, stylish wedding venue for up to 130 guests plus 5 meeting rooms for up to 170 delegates.

The hotel provides great value, premium accommodation just outside London for both business travellers to the south-east of England or families looking to be thrilled at Chessington World of Adventures or Thorpe Park.
