Concierge.com's insider take:
Comfy, funky, affordable, and cool, the Bermondsey Square Hotel is yet another sign of encroaching trendiness in the up-and-coming Bermondsey neighborhood south of the Thames. The hotel's design aesthetic is winkingly Pop-mod, with 1960s references showing up everywhere: plastic bubble chairs in the lobby, suites named for popular Beatles-era songs, and a buzzing restaurant called Alfie's Bar and Kitchen after the cult 1966 Michael Caine film. Retro influences aside, the hotel's 75 rooms offer forward-thinking amenities, including Apple televisions, free Wi-Fi, seriously plush Mattison beds, and luxe bathrooms with rain showers. Be sure to request a room far from the elevators, which can be distinctly audible when the hotel is busy. Or spring for one of the four loft suites with terraces overlooking the London cityscape (one even boasts a private outdoor hot tub); they are surprising affordable at about $340 per night. Bermondsey's increasingly hip zone of shops, restaurants, and pubs compensates for the hotel's being a bit out of the way (the West End is a 15-minute Tube ride), and the Southbank Centre and Globe Theatre are within a comfortable walk. Make sure to hit Alfie's for a seafood, cheese, or savory-pie "board," sourced at nearby Borough Market and ideal for an afternoon bite with a cocktail or coffee. Weekends, one of the city's largest flea markets moves into the square right outside the hotel for your browsing pleasure.—Siobhan Adcock
