A Touch of Retro

A Touch of Retro: Greater London

Minutes away from Kensal Rise station, London becomes your oyster when you use this home as a base from which to explore everything this beautiful city has to offer. Venture more centrally towards Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey, or if this is more of a business stay than a recreational one, you can always opt for one of the trendier Soho bars to meet up with clients at. Romantics might stroll, hand-in-hand, through the Japanese garden at Hammersmith Park before grabbing a bite to eat.

Back home, the romance can continue with a sunset cheese and wine spread out on the patio before snuggling up on the sofa with a movie and a box of chocolates. Book lovers, on the other hand, will delight in the book selection – pick one and read it at the bistro table whilst nursing a cup of coffee.

The dining nook – with a church pew and woven chairs for seating – cuts a charming figure where it sits in the morning sunshine, so enjoy breakfasts whilst catching up on the news or a crossword puzzle.

The extension that was added in 2020 ensures that there is plenty of light on offer here and the effect, alongside the range of carefully curated mid-century and bohemian furnishings, is a homely space that feel special enough to unwind in.

Home truths:
*Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible
*For those with reduced mobility, this is a single-level home
*It's possible you might hear some noise from neighbours during your stay
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
