Three London red buses driving through Oxford Circus

If you’re staying with us at our Peckham or South Bermondsey spots, you’re in luck – London’s transport system is about to become your new best friend. Here’s how to navigate the city like a pro and make your commutes around the city a breeze.

Living in Peckham? You need to hit up the Overground! The Overground at Peckham Rye Station is your ticket to quick trips around the city. Whether you’re off to Shoreditch for some vibes or Clapham for brunch, it’s only a short stroll from your pad.

South Bermondsey’s Secret Weapon – the Bus Stop. Just a hop, skip, and a jump from our South Bermondsey property is the bus stop. Catch the 1, 53, or 78 and you’re golden. Perfect for heading to uni or visiting those must-see London spots.

Tube time: Grab a Travelcard or Oyster card and save yourself from those single-ride ticket costs. It’ll save you cash and make your life so much easier – more money for fun stuff and less hassle.

Feeling like a ride? You can rent a bike from one of London’s bike-sharing services. It’s a cool way to get around, see the sights, and enjoy some fresh air. Plus, you’ll dodge all that traffic!

Download the must-have apps! Get Citymapper for the best routes and real-time updates. And don’t forget the TfL Oyster app – top up your card and check your travel history all in one place. It’s like having a travel buddy in your pocket.

You’ll be breezing through London like a local in no time!
