If you’ve ever tried booking a hotel room in London for more than two people, you’ll know the struggle. Suddenly you’re decoding sofa beds, squeezing into tiny “family suites”, or being told to book two separate rooms at opposite ends of the corridor.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
At The Clarendon Hotel in Blackheath, we believe family travel should feel easy, not like a logistical puzzle. That’s why we’ve created a hotel experience designed to make families feel genuinely welcome, with space to spread out, thoughtful touches that make life easier, and a location that lets you explore London without the stress.
Comfortable Hotel Rooms Designed for Families
Our family rooms come in both triple and quad options, meaning you can stay together in one spacious room without compromising on comfort. For larger families or those wanting a bit more breathing space, we can also provide adjoining rooms that comfortably sleep up to five.
Each room comes with:
- A private en suite bathroom
- Flat-screen TV (ideal for winding down with a bit of telly)
- A work desk, handy for school bits or catching up on emails
- Complimentary tea and coffee
- Free WiFi, because we all know how essential that is
- A hair dryer, plus quality towels and toiletries
We also offer complimentary parking on a first come, first served basis – a rare perk in London that parents particularly appreciate!
A London Hotel Base with Space to Breathe
But what makes The Clarendon truly special for families isn’t just the rooms – it’s where those rooms happen to be. We’re nestled on the edge of Blackheath Common, a vast green space that becomes your family’s private playground. No need to trek across London for fresh air and open space – it’s right outside our front door.
This means tired little legs can have a morning run-around before breakfast, parents can enjoy a coffee while children play safely, and everyone can decompress after busy London sightseeing days. The contrast between city exploration and peaceful evenings is exactly what family holidays need.
Yet despite this tranquil setting, central London remains incredibly accessible. Blackheath Station is just a few minutes’ walk from the hotel, whisking you to London Bridge or Charing Cross in under 20 minutes. You get all the energy and culture of the capital without the constant noise, crowds, and stress that can overwhelm young family members.
Family-Friendly Blackheath and Beyond
The beauty of staying in Blackheath extends far beyond our hotel doors and immediate surroundings (though this is pretty special). This historic village offers the kind of family experiences that create lasting memories without breaking the bank or testing everyone’s patience.
Greenwich Park becomes your extended garden – 183 acres where children spot deer while parents actually get to relax, and the walk to the Royal Observatory turns into an adventure with London’s best views as the reward. The National Maritime Museum and Cutty Sark offer hands-on history that feels more like treasure hunting than learning, while Greenwich Market solves the eternal family dining dilemma with street food that pleases everyone.
You can spend one day exploring the Natural History Museum and the next enjoying a Sunday picnic on the heath. Family-friendly pubs welcome muddy boots and tired legs, while the Blackheath Sunday Farmers Market becomes a weekly treasure hunt for young foodies. The possibilities are endless, and they’re all on your doorstep.
Why Families Choose The Clarendon Hotel
Families return to The Clarendon not just for the space, but for the genuine sense of welcome. Our team understands that family travel comes with unique needs – from early breakfast requests to recommendations for pushchair-friendly routes to Greenwich.
Parents appreciate practical touches like our complimentary parking and the peace of mind that comes from staying somewhere children can be children. Whether that’s safely exploring Blackheath Common, enjoying a family meal in our restaurant, or simply having space to spread out after active London days.
The combination of proper family rooms, a location that offers both excitement and tranquillity, and a team that genuinely welcomes you makes family stays at The Clarendon feel so special.
