Why construction teams choose Overnightly in London
London hotels charge upwards of £150 per night and most won't take muddy boots through reception. Extended stays in Zone 1-2 serviced apartments quickly blow through project budgets, especially for teams of 10 or more. Overnightly sources properties specifically for working crews. That means ground-floor access where possible, space for tool storage, kitchens so your team can cook instead of spending £15 on every meal, and locations chosen for site access rather than tourist appeal. We know which postcodes work for which projects because we've been placing London construction crews for over 7 years.
London construction zones we cover
East London and Docklands
The densest construction corridor in the UK right now. Silvertown Tunnel, Royal Albert Dock, Barking Riverside and the continuing Crossrail station fit-outs create constant demand for crew housing east of the City.
Old Oak Common and West London
HS2's London terminus at Old Oak Common is one of Europe's largest construction sites. The surrounding Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation area is delivering thousands of homes alongside the station build.
South Bank and Nine Elms
Battersea Power Station Phase 4, the US Embassy quarter, and the Northern Line Extension works have transformed Nine Elms into a major construction zone stretching from Vauxhall to Wandsworth.
City of London and Canary Wharf
The Square Mile and Canary Wharf continue to deliver commercial tower projects alongside the Elizabeth Line stations and surrounding public realm works.
North London and Brent Cross
Brent Cross Town is a £8bn regeneration delivering 6,700 homes. Combined with Colindale Gardens and the Thameslink programme works, North London has a growing construction workforce.
