We’ve stayed here a number of times now and never had a bad experience. The staff are all so lovely. The rooms are clean and well decorated. The food in the pub is always tasty and there’s always a new menu every time we’ve stayed. There is lots to choose from for breakfast and it’s cooked fresh for you. It’s a great location easy walk to the o2. It’s always a peaceful nights sleep we will definitely be back.

The Pilot Inn is a unique blend of an historic building decorated in an imaginative modern way set amidst designer high-rise blocks. It also has the advantage of facing onto an attractive park leading to the O2 with all its amenities. Another bonus is the free car park and quiet location.
