“The Lion & Key's location near the Olympic stadium makes it ideal for event attendees, though a car isn't essential with good public transport links. Inside, the modern design extends from the lobby to the rooms, where Egyptian cotton adds a touch of affordable luxury. I think the blend of a traditional pub atmosphere with contemporary amenities creates a welcoming, practical stay.”
