Places to stay near Shepherd's Bush O2?

Indie_Kid

Going to the O2 in November. Can anyone recommend somewhere to stay for 2 nights please? I've tried Premier Inn and Travelodge and there's nowhere nearby.:(

Ideally need somewhere near either Shepherd's Bush (central line) or White City due to needing to go to Tottenham Court Road for one of those evenings.

Don't want to spend more than £75-100 a night.

Thank you.

I've no personal experience of it, but what about the Fulham Travelodge?

It's not far from Earls Court on the Piccadilly Line to get you into town nice and quickly, and you can catch the Overground (or a bus) from West Brompton to Shepherd's Bush.

(I'm assuming you're going to an event at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, rather than The O2 in Greenwich.)

The "Kensington" Hilton is actually just a short walk away from Shepherds Bush Green where the Empire (AKA the O2) is sited - The boundary runs down the main road between the hotel and the Green. More or less you cross at the roundabout and you are there. Underground Station is yrds away and the Airbus used to stop right outside if its still runing?

It seems to mainly accomodate biz travellers and aircrew on heavy rotation from Heathrow, so its quite competitively priced for rooms on a number of sites if you book in advance or get one of their periodic offers - I've stayed there for quite a few concerts at the Empire over the years and for some of them, its turned-out that the bands were also in residence - Which has led to some interesting post-concert drinks!

Needless to say that its not somewhere I'd go for dinner or more than a couple of drinks but there are plenty of cafes/bars/takeaways shops etc on the Green, so getting fed and watered is no hassle.

Thank you. I was thinking about Euston travelodge which is fairly easy to get to and from. Not sure if that's too far though.

Hammersmith is 15 minutes walk away from the venue, a 10 min bus ride away from Shepherds Bush (night buses run) or a 5 minute tube journey via Circle or Hammersmith& city lines. There is a Premier Inn and a Holiday Inn Express and a Novotel in Hammersmith. From Hammersmith it would be about a 20 minute tube journey to Tottenham Court Road. The Premier Inn in Hammersmith has a lot of dates in November within your price range, just as expected it is just Saturday nights that are more expensive.

Thank you. I do try and look for hotels nearby. But not knowing the area at all, I wasn't too sure where else to look.
