In a row of stucco-fronted Edwardian town houses, this small hotel, a stroll from Hyde Park and the South Kensington museums, has smart, well-equipped bedrooms, a lounge, bar and secluded terrace.

On a leafy Pimlico street, this stuccoed gastropub, hotel and events venue serves foodie-pleasing fare in the bar and first-floor restaurant, with four high-ceilinged, beamed, unfussy bedrooms at the top.

A home away from home in the heart of Chelsea is the aim of these red-brick Victorian townhouses, which have been converted into a luxurious hotel of dazzling individuality.

Eccentric, fun and colourful, this Pimlico town house in a leafy residential street is as much neighbourhood hangout and art gallery as a place to sleep and eat.

The Doric porch and white stucco exterior of a handsome Victorian terrace town house on a leafy garden square gives no clue to the ultra-high-tech facilities and modern décor at this Pimlico hotel.

Occupying adjacent terrace town houses on a residential Belgravia street, this hotel is very affordable despite its highly desirable central location.

Single, double, family room, boutique chic, contemporary simplicity or a wizard-themed basement ‘chamber’ – take your pick at this smart but quirky hotel spread across imposing, stucco-fronted 19th-century town houses.
