First impressions
An imposing Victorian town house in Kensington, stuffed with antiques. It’s
popular with film industry types, and has a surprisingly young feel.
Why it’s special
Location (in a quiet tree-lined avenue), friendly staff and an informal
atmosphere considering what the decor cost.
Hitting the sack
We liked Miss Ada’s bedroom, with a four-poster, and the enormous Tudor room,
with a minstrels’ gallery, and bathroom hidden behind linenfold panelling.
Modern technology and mini-bars are there, but well hidden in antique
cabinets. Lovely toiletries from the White Company.
Sampling the fare
Excellent Bistrot One Ninety serves fishcakes with coriander (£8.99) and
shoulder of lamb (£17.95). Affordable wine list.
Added attractions
Just a short hop from Harrods, the shops of High Street Kensington and the
Royal Albert Hall.
Access all areas
No disabled facilities.
The bottom line
B&B doubles from £190.
What we think
Excellent value, and out of the ordinary for London.
