The UK’s largest hotel business is aiming to add more than 2,200 bedrooms across 17 locations under its Premier Inn and hub by Premier Inn brands.

The plans form part of Whitbread’s wider strategy to grow its network to 98,000 bedrooms by 2030.

James Hall, acquisitions and development manager at Whitbread, will lead the expansion in Outer London.

Mr Hall said: "Each of London’s boroughs has its own distinct personality and feel, so it’s no wonder that the capital’s appeal to our leisure and business customers extends beyond the city centre.

The A23 Streatham Hill in south London is undergoing a major redesign, with Transport for London (TfL) leading works to install protected cycle lanes and dedicated bus lanes.

The project is expected to continue until spring 2027.

A spokesperson said: "The new layout will improve bus reliability and make it easier, safer, and more pleasant for people to walk and cycle in the area."

The improvements aim to boost bus reliability.
