Not only that, but Twickenham is also a favourite among some of the world’s biggest music acts. Eminem, The Rolling Stones, Rihanna and U2 are just some of the names to take to the stage at the ground in recent years, and the next big gig is always around the corner.
Whatever you’re heading to the Stadium for, making a stay of it can really add to the experience, and potentially save you a late and long journey home after the match or gig. Fortunately, there are hotels near Twickenham to suit all tastes and budgets.

Just a 25-minute walk from the Stadium gates, Ibis Budget London Hounslow is perfectly located if you’re heading to the capital for a big match. With 148 well-appointed rooms at excellent prices, it promises all the comfort you need without the fuss and frills. Keep things easy with the online check-in, while there’s the option of parking if you’re travelling in by car. Come the morning, you can tuck into a hearty continental breakfast for a small additional charge, whether that’s to fuel you before or after the game.
