194–196 Earl’s Court Road · London SW5 9QF
The short version
London Court Hotel is a hotel near Earl’s Court station in the most literal sense: it sits on Earl’s Court Road, about 100 metres from Earl’s Court Underground station, roughly a two-minute walk.
No bus, no second train, no hill. If you are arriving with luggage (particularly from Heathrow, which runs direct to our station on the Piccadilly line) that walk is the whole reason to book a hotel near Earl’s Court station rather than somewhere a fare zone further out.
Earl’s Court is served by two Underground lines, the District and the Piccadilly, which is unusual for a station this far west and is what makes the location work. It sits on the Zone 1 / Zone 2 boundary, so journeys into central London are charged at Zone 1 rates.
Our guide to Earl’s Court tube station lists the journey time to the museums, the West End, King’s Cross and Heathrow, taken from TfL.
Rooms start at £50 a night and reception is staffed 24 hours, so it does not matter what time your flight lands. See all six room types.
