Abbey

Exceptional and absolutely stunning stay/vacation at Lee Abbey London! Couldnt ask for anything more. Christian staff, wonderful people at the reception, lovely surroundings, excellent rooms (and madrasses), a variety and abundance of the most delicious food(!), nice playrooms for children/families, beautiful garden, plus the hostel is close to the city, but still in a calm area of Kingston. Could go on like this for a looong time... We really want to come back soon again. Thank you James and staff for making our stay a wonderful one! May God bless you forever. Tommy, Peiling & Bonny

nice, cheap and very friendly staff. breakfast and afternoon lunch were good. there is a playroom with billiard, table tennis and table footbal. if staff had time, they play with the children. the little garden outside is very nice. the rooms are okay. with picadilly line, you get directly from heathrow to earls court. after a few minutes walking, you reach lee abbey london. very nice place.

The moment we stepped in the door it felt like our second home. The location is excellent as it is only five minutes walk from the heart of Kensington, rich of shops, restaurants and anything you like. Two metro stations in easy reach and effortless to get to almost any part of London in a short period of time. Two amazing parks nearby; Kensington Gardens and my favourite Holland Park. The house it self is a gem, build in a time when elegance was high on the priority agenda. The rooms perhaps bit spartan (as to expect) but very clean and practical. The most powerful shower I have experienced and lots of clean and soft towels. Nice beds to relax and sleep in; cosy and comfortable. Privacy perfect. But the jewel must be the garden. To step out into the garden with your breakfast or just to relax is just heavenly. Very quiet and rich of many trees and plants which would suit a Queen. Lots of chairs and tables. But the most enjoyable part of our experience staying in Lee Abbey is the people there. If there was anything we needed it was solved by the staff on the spot and with a bright smile. Unmatched even on Hotels with many stars to throw around. Their demeanour and manner just unparalleled. Can not wait to visit again.

Lee Abbey is an amazing community! I’ve told family and friends that since moving into Lee Abbey a week ago, I feel as though I have lived a month’s worth of life in just seven days! Being able to get to know the community members and residents is such a life-giving blessing. In community, we work as a team to serve Lee Abbey, and being able to do this alongside warm, welcoming and like-minded young adults is a constant encouragement. At Lee Abbey there is time to slow down and think, time to work, time to enjoy lunch in the garden and time to worship together… would highly recommend for both new residents and community members! As with all things in life, the more one gives of themselves to an experience, the more one is to gain! :)
