Upminster to see a new hotel after Travelodge agrees deal.

Strettons acts for Travelodge on deal that will see the creation of a new 82 room hotel and retail units on Station Road.

Travelodge, the UK’s first budget hotel chain, which operates over 600 hotels across the UK, Ireland and Spain, has announced that it has exchanged contracts for a new hotel in Upminster.

Planning permission has been granted for 11 Station Road, to create a new 82 room Travelodge together with new retail units on the ground floor which, once open, will be the group’s 86^th hotel in London.

Travelodge has agreed a 25-year lease term with the Developer London Iron Works, who acquired the site having been attracted by the potential to deliver a new mixed-use development to compliment Upminster’s already bustling High Street.

Tony O’Brien, UK Development Director, Travelodge said: “We are delighted to continue to expand our portfolio of hotels in London with a new Travelodge development in Upminster, which will be the first branded budget hotel in the area. Although we currently operate 82 hotels across the city, only one of these hotels, Romford Travelodge, is located in the London Borough of Havering, which has a population of over 260,000. Works have now commenced to build our new Travelodge hotel in Upminster town centre, which will provide excellent quality and great value accommodation, attracting thousands of new business and leisure visitors each year, who will spend hundreds of thousands of pounds in local shops, restaurants, cafes and attractions.

Our Development Team and Strettons have done an excellent job to deliver this deal, and we are looking forward to the new Travelodge opening early in 2026.”

 Daniel Harris, Director of London Iron Works Developments Limited said: “We are excited to build Travelodge’s new hotel in Upminster and help the company to continue to expand its portfolio of hotels in London. The new hotel will support the visitor economy in Upminster and bring economic benefits to the Borough, something we are very proud of.”

Strettons acted on Travelodge’s behalf to identify the opportunity and agree terms with London Iron Works.
