In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Linton Apartments at 1A Turnpike Lane gives you more floor space than a typical hotel room at the same price — a separate sitting area alongside the bedroom, a kitchen that actually has the gear to cook with, and an in-room washing machine that is genuinely hard to find at this price in London. Reviews describe rooms as bright, clean and well-maintained, with a comfortable bed. A few guests mention that the sound insulation between units is not its strongest point — some noise from adjacent rooms or common areas can come through — so if you're a light sleeper, bring ear plugs.
Food and amenities
The kitchen is the main practical draw here: fridge, electric stove, microwave and cookware are all included. Being able to shop at the Wood Green High Road market — a short walk away — and cook your own meals is a meaningful saving over several nights in London. Free Wi-Fi and air-con work as advertised according to reviews. What you won't find: a restaurant, a fitness room, or a 24-hour front desk. This is a self-catering apartment, not a full-service hotel, and it is priced accordingly at around $113/night.
Location and getting there
Turnpike Lane Underground Station is a 2-minute walk. That puts the Piccadilly Line right at your door — direct to Heathrow Airport with no changes, and straightforward connections to King's Cross, Covent Garden and Piccadilly Circus. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is roughly 2.8 km away, around 15–20 minutes by bus or Uber on a match day. The Wood Green neighbourhood has supermarkets, cafes and a wide range of restaurants on the High Road, all within easy walking distance.
Things to know before booking
A few practical points that surprised some guests. First, a cash deposit of £300–500 is required at check-in — credit cards are not always accepted for this — so arrive with the cash ready or you may have trouble checking in. Some reviews note the refund takes longer than expected; photographing the room on arrival and keeping your receipt is sensible. Second, there is no 24-hour reception. A self-entry key system handles late arrivals, but only if you have arranged it with the property in advance. Third, sound insulation between units is imperfect — this came up in multiple reviews, so it is worth flagging rather than glossing over.
Our take
TripAdvisor rates Linton Apartments 4.0/5 from 281 reviews and places it in the Top 10% of London accommodations — a solid result for a self-catering apartment in this price range. It earns that position mostly through value: a full kitchen, a washing machine and a 2-minute walk to the Piccadilly Line at around $113/night is a combination that is hard to match in North London. If you are coming to see a match, want to self-cater for several nights, or are travelling with family and need the extra space, Linton Apartments is the clearest pick in this group. Just arrive with your cash deposit ready and tell them when you are checking in.

The Honest Verdict — pros & what to know
- Turnpike Lane Underground is a 2-minute walk and sits on the Piccadilly Line — you can reach Heathrow Airport with no line changes, and King's Cross, Covent Garden and Piccadilly Circus are all straightforward from here.
- The full kitchen — fridge, electric stove, microwave and cookware — means you can shop at the nearby Wood Green High Road market and cook your own meals, a meaningful saving when eating out in London on a multi-day stay.
- An in-room washing machine is rare at this price point in London. For stays of several nights it means packing lighter and avoiding laundromat trips.
- More space than a typical hotel room at a similar price, with a sitting area separate from the bedroom — useful if you have 3 or 4 guests.
- Wood Green neighbourhood has supermarkets, restaurants and shops on the High Road, all within a short walk.
- A cash deposit of £300–500 is required at check-in. Some reviews note the refund takes longer than expected, so photograph the room on arrival and keep all paperwork.
- There is no 24-hour reception. Late check-ins work via a self-entry key system, but you must notify the property in advance — arriving without warning can cause problems.
- Some reviews report hearing noise from the room next door or from common areas, suggesting the sound insulation between units is not particularly strong.

Insider Tips
- Bring cash for the £300–500 deposit — a credit card may not be accepted for the security hold, and turning up without it can block your check-in.
- The Wood Green High Road market and supermarkets are a short walk away — stock up on breakfast items and basics when you arrive to take full advantage of the kitchen.
- Notify the property of your expected arrival time before you travel; there is no 24-hour reception, but a self-check-in key system is available once you have arranged it.
