When you’re planning a stay in London, it can be hard to find a hotel that truly offers both comfort and character. Chain hotels often feel impersonal, and budget options don’t always deliver the relaxing experience you need. At The Clarendon Hotel, we truly believe your stay should feel special.
Just minutes from central London by train, yet worlds away in atmosphere, we’ve been helping guests unwind, reconnect, and feel genuinely looked after for generations. Our unique village setting, overlooking the expansive Blackheath Common, offers that rare combination of tranquillity and convenience that turns an ordinary London visit into something genuinely memorable.
Whether you’re visiting for business, a family getaway, or a romantic break, you’ll find a room that suits your needs – always with thoughtful details and a warm welcome waiting.
Choose the Room That’s Right for You
Every traveller’s needs are different, which is why we’ve carefully designed a range of rooms to suit whatever brings you to our doorstep:
Classic and Crown Rooms
Perfect for solo adventurers, business travellers, or couples, these welcoming rooms provide everything you need for a refreshing stay. While our Classic rooms offer excellent value, stepping up to a Crown room rewards you with extra space and, in many cases, beautiful views across Blackheath or our tranquil garden. You’ll find ensuite bathrooms, comfortable beds dressed in quality linens, work desks for those catching up on emails, and thoughtful touches like complimentary tea and coffee to start your day right.
Crown Deluxe Rooms
When you’re in the mood to treat yourself, our Crown Deluxe rooms elevate your experience with king-size beds and dedicated sitting areas where you can truly relax. These spacious sanctuaries come with little luxuries that make a big difference – a mini fridge stocked with complimentary water and fresh milk, premium Elemis toiletries in your bathroom, and welcome treats including a mini bottle of wine and luxury chocolates. It’s these details that transform a simple stay into something worth celebrating.
Executive and Honeymoon Suites
For celebration weekends, romantic escapes, or when you simply desire more space to spread out, our Executive and Honeymoon Suites offer a genuine home-from-home. With separate lounge areas, king-size beds, and stunning views over the heath, these suites provide the perfect setting for special occasions or longer visits. Many guests find the separate living space invaluable – whether for intimate dining, catching up with work, or simply enjoying a peaceful evening with a glass of wine.
Family Rooms
We know that traveling with children brings its own set of needs, which is why our family rooms are designed with both space and practicality in mind. Accommodating up to five guests comfortably, these rooms come in triple and quad configurations, with adjoining options available for larger families or those seeking a bit more privacy. Every family room maintains our standards of comfort while adding thoughtful touches that make traveling with little ones that bit easier.
Dining, Drinks & Relaxation
Your Clarendon experience extends well beyond your room key. Throughout the hotel, you’ll find spaces designed for relaxation, conversation, and creating memories:
The Meridian Restaurant
The Meridian Restaurant celebrates the best of British cuisine, with seasonal menus crafted from locally sourced ingredients. From hearty breakfasts to set you up for a day of exploration, to elegant dinners showcasing the finest flavours, our kitchen caters to all – including extensive vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.
The Chart Bar
For evening relaxation or pre-dinner aperitifs, the nautical-themed Chart Bar offers a convivial atmosphere where locals mingle with guests. Our carefully curated wine list, local ales, and signature cocktails provide the perfect accompaniment to good old fashioned conversation!
Afternoon Tea
No visit to The Clarendon would be complete without experiencing our traditional Afternoon Tea – a quintessentially British treat featuring delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with jam and clotted cream, and an assortment of sweet delights. For celebration afternoons, add a glass of prosecco and turn tea time into something truly special.
The Garden
When sunshine blesses Blackheath (and yes, it does happen!), our secluded Garden transforms into an oasis for al fresco dining and drinks. This hidden gem, right in the heart of the village, provides a peaceful backdrop for everything from morning coffee to evening cocktails.
The Blackheath Advantage
Choosing The Clarendon means immersing yourself in the distinctive charm of Blackheath village while keeping London’s excitement within easy reach. Step outside our doors and you’re immediately on the historic common, with Greenwich Park just beyond. The maritime splendours of Greenwich, the cutting-edge entertainment at The O2, and all of central London’s attractions are just a short journey away.
But what truly sets us apart, is our team. With decades of combined experience, they understand the difference between service that’s merely efficient and hospitality that feels genuine. From the warm welcome at check-in to the insider tips about local treasures, we take pride in creating stays that linger in your memory long after you’ve returned home.
