Historic, Jacobean splendour, in a great city location. Who says you can’t have it all? This mansion in the middle of Holland Park was visited by Sir Walter Scott, Lord Byron and Dickens. Today it offers large, comfortable rooms to you. It’s just 5 minutes walk from Kensington High Street and the Royal Albert Hall, Kensington Palace and the main museums are nearby. Our restaurant opens onto private gardens and an ornamental pond; the perfect setting for an evening meal.
