I stayed at Newbury Park a fortnight ago and it was a decent enough HIX. Central line station pretty much on the doorstep and it was only fifteen minutes to Stratford and twenty five minutes to Holborn.
I needed to be in the area for work but at 10k I'd definitely consider it even for a leisure stay if I was looking for a cheap couple of nights away.
One thing to note at the moment though is the Central Line drivers are currently striking on random dates, the weekend before Christmas being the next one.
Nothing much in the local area other than McDonalds and a BP Petrol station which has an M&S. Couple of nice restaurants and bars at Gants Hill though.
