Contractor Accommodation Near HS2 Sites: What's Available in 2026

HS2 stretches from London to Birmingham (Phase 1) with future extensions planned northward. Along the route, thousands of construction workers need accommodation near active sites.

Old Oak Common (West London) is one of the largest HS2 sites. Accommodation in this area ranges from £35-50 per person per night. Properties in Acton, Park Royal, and Harlesden offer the best balance of proximity and value.

Curzon Street (Birmingham) is the main Birmingham terminus. The city centre location means accommodation is readily available at £24-32 per person per night. Properties in Digbeth, Bordesley, and Small Heath are closest.

Interchange Station (Solihull) serves Birmingham Airport and the NEC. This suburban location has good availability at £24-30 per person per night.

Along the route between London and Birmingham, there are numerous tunnel, viaduct, and earthworks sites in Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, and Warwickshire. Market towns like Aylesbury, Banbury, and Leamington Spa have good supply at £24-32 per person per night.

Key considerations: shift patterns often start very early (6am site access), so proximity matters more than usual. Many sites have limited parking, so accommodation with good transport links is valuable.
