Four Travelodge hotels are under construction London - with one being built in Beckenham.

The hotel will have 72 rooms and will be expected to finish by 2025.

This is the fourth Travelodge being built in London, with the 600th Travelodge at the Kia Oval Cricket Lounge, a hotel in Bermondsey, and one in Chiswick.

hThe development of the London Chiswick Travelodge was made possible through forward funding secured by Travelodge in November 2022.

The funding partner is RTP Global Real Estate Investments and keeps Travelodge as the development manager for the scheme.   

The hotel will also be built to meet BREEAM "Excellent" standards as it will feature energy-efficient services such as low-energy lighting, motion-sensing controls, and aerated showers and taps.

London is a key focus for Travelodge's development strategy, and the company has a dedicated team working to secure an additional 100 sites across the capital for new Travelodge hotels.

Steve Bennett, Travelodge, Chief Property & Development Officer, said: “We are delighted to be expanding our London hotel.

“With over 80 Travelodges in London, we now operate in 31 out the 33 London boroughs and are one of London’s biggest hotel chains.

“We are currently building four more new London hotels, including our 600th Travelodge at the Kia Oval Cricket Ground, but we still have room for further growth in London. 

“Nowadays, more Britons are choosing to stay in a budget hotel than any other hotel type, but London cannot fulfil this growing trend as it has a shortage of good quality and low-cost accommodation.

“Therefore, to help fill this growing gap, we are actively searching for over 100 new hotel sites across the Capital. 

“This London expansion programme could collectively represent a multi-billion pound investment for third party investors and create thousands of new jobs.” 

Svetlana Lomovtseva at RTP RE said: “Following on from our successful acquisition of this high-profile site late last year we are delighted that we have now moved on to the construction phase of the project.

“We are looking forward to working with Travelodge and Barnes and the smooth delivery of this much-needed new hotel.”
