The Manor at Bickley is a bit of a gem. It has a slightly faded Victorian / Edwardian charm. The floors creak a bit, the furniture is eclectic and the last modernisation appears to have been some years ago, But that adds to the charm. And its situation in its own grounds is lovely. You wouldn't know that you were in a a busy south London suburb. Our bedroom was spacious, clean and quiet. The bed was comfortable and the heating instantly warming. The bath / shower room was slightly cramped but the water was hot and everything worked. The (mainly young) staff were friendly and helpful. Our dinner was excellent. The menu was not haute cuisine but offered variety and was beautifully presented. Our helpful waitress (also receptionist) rustled up for us excellent affogatos (not on the menu) . The breakfast menu meets most tastes. Our salmon and scramble eggs was just right. We would recommend this hotel to anyone (like us) coming from the West of England) and unwilling to endure the M25 twice in one day, or indeed as a base for exploring London.
