Beckenham ParkHotel

Beckenham Park Hotel occupies a preserved townhouse on Copers Cope Road, close to Beckenham Place Park, run as an independent boutique bed-and-breakfast rather than part of a chain group. The building keeps its original Victorian exterior and period features, while the eighteen guest rooms inside have been refurbished with en-suite bathrooms and contemporary furnishings. A garden gives guests somewhere to sit with morning coffee or in the evening, and free on-site parking is included, a detail that matters given the distance from central London stations. Enquiries go through a personal email address rather than a call centre, and the small scale of the operation means repeat guests can expect the same point of contact each stay.
