Travel Lodge Ilford

The Travel Lodge, Ilford is situated close to the centre of the town and offers you the ideal location to act as base for seeing what the town and the surrounding area has to show. In addition, this town is not situated far from London and can easily be reached by catching a train to Charing Cross Station. 

However, there are plenty of attractions that are close to this hotel that one can visit during a stay in the town.  Most of the attractions are located a short distance from the centre of the town but there are good transport links that will enable you to get to them easily. 

One such place is Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge that is located in the heart of Epping Forest and is about 6 miles from Ilford.   This Grade 2 Listed building dates from 1543 and was commissioned by King Henry VIII and named after his daughter.  It was here that the king and his subjects would spend time shooting deer that roamed freely through the forests. 

However, today the place is much more tranquil and quiet and visitors to it can spend time exploring the kitchen and the shooting gallery where the king would have stood.  Plus the views from this building are some of the most fantastic one is likely to see in this part of England and there are plenty of activities for keeping the kids amused.  They could have a go at doing some brass rubbings or they could dress up in clothes that are similar to those worn by the people of the time.
