About Royal Free Hospital

Royal Free Hospital is a major hospital in north London, with its main site in Hampstead. Visitors come here for appointments, outpatient clinics, day procedures and stays in its wards, and many arrive from elsewhere in London or from abroad. Because it is a working hospital rather than a tourist attraction, most people who stay nearby are here for a specific reason: a relative in a ward, a series of consultations, or an early start before treatment. That makes accommodation within walking distance especially useful, since it removes the need to cross the city before an appointment. The hospital sits in a residential part of London, close to Hampstead Heath and the streets of Swiss Cottage and Belsize Park, so a stay here also puts guests near green space, cafes and local shops. Our list of hotels near Royal Free Hospital is ordered by distance, from 180 m to 1.3 km, so patients and families can choose how close they want to be.

Tips for staying near Royal Free Hospital

  • If you are visiting a patient, ask the ward about visiting times before booking, then choose a hotel within a 5 minute walk so you can come and go during the day without long journeys.
  • For early appointments, the closest options such as Premier Inn London Hampstead at 180 m remove any risk of traffic delays, and nearby hotels with parking make arriving by car simpler.
  • Hospital appointments can run late, so a hotel with a lounge such as Premier Inn London Hampstead, Hampstead Britannia Hotel, Quality Hotel Hampstead or London Marriott Hotel Regents Park gives you somewhere to wait.
  • If you need to prepare food or stay several nights with family, apartments and hotels with kitchens, including Veeve Charming Hampstead Apartment and Primrose Boutique Home, are practical for longer visits.
  • Weekday mornings in this part of London are busy, so if you are staying 1 km or more away, allow time for the 16 to 20 minute walk or take a bus or taxi.
