Aside from tennis stuff, where else should we go?

Hello! I’d really appreciate your help.

I’ll be visiting my daughter in London. She lives on Upper Walthamstow Road, within walking distance of Greenway Avenue Community Garden & Wood Street Station. Her place is about a 20-minute walk from Whipps Cross University Hospital.

I’ve found interesting Airbnb rooms, but they are too far away. Ideally, I’d like to stay within walking distance of my daughter’s home. Otherwise, I’d be happy to take a short bus ride, as long as the accommodation is nearby and easy to reach.

I’m not picky about the accommodation itself. I just need a small, safe room with Wi-Fi. I don’t mind sharing a bathroom. I’d prefer a private room, but I could also share a room if necessary.

I don’t need to be close to cafés, restaurants, pubs, or attractions. My main priority is being close to my daughter’s place or, at least, near a convenient bus stop with an easy connection to Upper Walthamstow Road & Greenway Avenue Community Garden.

I found a very affordable option at Clink261 Hostel, with shared rooms for around £27 per night, but unfortunately it’s too far away. My budget is approximately £35 per night.

If anyone knows of affordable rooms, hostels, guesthouses, or other accommodation options in or near the Walthamstow/Wood Street area, I’d be very grateful for your recommendations!

Thank you so much!

I (17f) am planning to take my cousin (18f) from Spain to London to surprise her as she has wanted to do this for a while. For context I am born and raised in england so I know how the system works. However would it still be ok for us to stay in a premier inn as I am a minor and she is only 1 year my senior. If not, are there some other appropriate places as I know premier inns have quite strict rules in their age acceptance?
Thank you!
