London
Guesthouse / B&B
Leman House is located at 141 Leman Street, London E1 8EY, United Kingdom. Your address is therefore correct. It is a very small accommodation in the east of Central London, on the border between Aldgate, Whitechapel and Tower Hill. Current accommodation details list only nine rooms.
Leman House is best described as a guesthouse or small townhouse rather than a traditional full-service hotel. There is no large hotel lobby, no restaurant, spa or fitness centre. Instead, the focus is on relatively simple private rooms in a very central location.
Current guest reviews give an overall rating of 7.2/10; the location is rated particularly highly at 8.7/10.
With just nine guest rooms, Leman House is considerably smaller than most London hotels. The accommodation is therefore better suited to travellers who simply need a private room as a base in London.
Amongst other options, double rooms with en-suite bathrooms are available. Depending on the category, facilities include a double bed, a desk/work area, a TV, a hairdryer, toiletries and a shower. Free Wi-Fi is also available.
A practical feature for this price range is the shared kitchen. Current photos and accommodation details show or mention, amongst other things, a kitchen, microwave, kettle and fridge facilities.
This can be particularly appealing for a longer stay compared to a basic hotel room without cooking facilities.
Wi-Fi is free and available throughout the accommodation.
An important point to note if you have heavy luggage or reduced mobility: the building has no lift.
When booking, it may therefore be advisable to ask for a room on as low a floor as possible.
This is another way in which Leman House differs from a traditional hotel. The reception is currently only staffed between 09:00 and 19:00. Guests arriving outside normal hours will be provided with appropriate check-in or lockbox instructions.
The published check-in period begins at midday and normally runs until 8.00 pm; if arriving later, you should contact the accommodation in advance. Check-out is scheduled for 12.00 noon.
There are no on-site hotel car parks.
Given this location, travelling by public transport is much more practical anyway.
Pets are not permitted.
Leman House has no swimming pool, hot tub, spa or fitness area.
The property should therefore be regarded as simple city accommodation, not as a hotel where one spends a large part of the day.
The location is clearly its greatest strength. According to current accommodation details, the Tower of London is approximately 500–600 metres, or a six-minute walk away.
The Tower Bridge is also within easy walking distance. It is stated to be approximately 1 km, or a twelve-minute walk away.
This makes Leman House an attractive option for travellers who wish to explore the eastern part of Central London in particular.
Brick Lane is around 800 metres, or a nine-minute walk, away.
This means you can quickly reach Shoreditch and Spitalfields, with their restaurants, markets, bars and street art.
The Thames is approximately 900 metres, or a ten-minute walk, away.
The nearest Underground station is Aldgate East, approximately a six-minute walk away.
From there, the District and Hammersmith & City lines run, allowing you to travel to destinations such as Embankment, Westminster, South Kensington or Paddington.
Tower Gateway DLR is about a seven-minute walk away.
This is particularly convenient for journeys to Canary Wharf, the Docklands and London City Airport.
Tower Hill is also easily accessible, being about a nine-minute walk away.
This means there are several different options for public transport in the immediate vicinity.
Fenchurch Street railway station is also about a nine-minute walk away.
Leman House is particularly appealing to budget-conscious solo travellers and couples looking for a private room with an en-suite bathroom who spend a lot of time outside the accommodation. The location is very convenient for the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Aldgate, Brick Lane, Spitalfields and the City of London.
The property is less suitable for guests who expect a 24-hour reception, a lift, a breakfast buffet, a restaurant, air-conditioning, a fitness centre or other traditional hotel amenities. In particular, the lack of a lift and the limited reception hours should be taken into account when booking.
Leman House, 141 Leman Street, London E1 8EY, is a small accommodation with just nine rooms and has more of a guesthouse feel than that of a traditional hotel. It offers private rooms with en-suite bathrooms, free Wi-Fi and a communal kitchen.
The clear advantage is the location: Aldgate East is about a 6-minute walk, Tower Gateway 7 minutes, the Tower of London about 6 minutes and Tower Bridge around 12 minutes on foot.
For a straightforward stay in London focusing on Tower Hill, the City of London, Brick Lane and East London, Leman House is therefore an interesting little place to stay; for a comfort-oriented hotel stay with a comprehensive range of services, there are more suitable alternatives.
