New Eltham Fiveways Burger King to be replaced by 91-bed hotel

A BURGER King at the busy Fiveways junction in New Eltham will be demolished and replaced with a hotel, bar and restaurant.

Plans have been approved for a four storey building fronting Sidcup Road and Green Lane which will include a 91-bed hotel.

The site currently features a 19th century two-storey building, which was a pub in the early 1990s until the American fast food chain's arrival.

Now that building will be knocked down and replaced with a new business, taking over the old Crossways Hotel name.

Under conditions imposed by a Greenwich Council planning committee, details of road access to the site must be submitted to the local authority before it is occupied.

    Why are so many hotels springing up and how are they all thriving?! Fair enough the Premier Inn in Swanley is cheap being a PI but who the hell is saying "I'd really like to spend a few nights in Swanley"?!

    I guess they might get some trade from weddings at the registry office - but I've hardly seen anyone go in there since its opened.

    An old pub near mine in Maze Hill has recently been changed to a swanky pub/hotel type place...think it is called the King William Hotel. Absolutely EMPTY! I went in there on Friday night to meet a mate and I was the only single person in the whole place.

    Strange place for a hotel that. I think they got turned over by Waitrose who were going to put a supermarket on the ground floor, and the hotel above, and Waitrose pulled out.

    We've got one going up in Dartford too - opposite the old Co Op (which is about to become a large number of flats)

    Must be in readiness for the millions or tourists that will be coming to the Paramount theme park

    Does that mean the stage door is on the way out? (excuse the pun)

    My sisters mates did as they were going to her party in Charlton. Needed a cheap room. Otherwise im not sure. People on council business? Or people visiting mates at the flats at the Royal Arsenal? really not sure tho. They were supposed to be building another by the DLR.

    It's odd how there's so many hotels springing up. I think some of it is down to changes in people's living arrangements, that if they have relatives come to visit they live in such pokey flats they have to go to a hotel. But a lot of it is undoubtedly business. When where I work got bought out by a larger outfit, they got rid of all the local management and brought new ones in, many from the other side of the country. A lot of them stay in hotels Monday to Thursday. Add to that, if you live outside commuting distance from London and get a job here, you probably won't move your family here. Some folks I work with as well who live relatively near tell me its cheaper to stay in a hotel on a night out than get a train then a taxi back if they have a drink.

    That's right, met a mate of mine when I was in London last year and it was cheaper for him to pay 30 quid to stay overnight in a Travelodge and get a 'cheaper' train back home next day than get the more expensive 'late' train home.

    I stayed in the Travelodge at Tower Hill when I was over a couple of years back, it was very basic but clean and well located - you can't ask for more than that for 35 quid per night!

    I recon its all down to a combination of the increase in the divorce rate and the increase in house prices.

    People getting divorced can't afford their own place so are moving back in with parents.

    When they get lucky they can't go back home and are too old for a knee trembler in the park.

    Cheap hotel is the best answer!
