Where to stay in Norbury
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Norbury suits travellers who want a plain residential base in the streets of London, away from the centre. Beds sit among terraced houses near St Oswald and St Paul's Church. Norbury's lodging stock stays modest.
If you would rather wake on ordinary suburban roads, within reach of the Parish Church of St Philip, than in a busy central hotel, Norbury keeps the nights quiet and the streets residential.
