A Georgian townhouse on the banks of the Thames near Hammersmith Bridge, this award-winning redesign of an 18th-century home strikes a perfect balance between grandeur and warmth. Seven fireplaces, a conservatory, games room, and a private garden with an outdoor fireplace give you plenty of places to settle in – whether it's a winter evening in or a long alfresco dinner in summer. The Thames Path is right on your doorstep for morning walks along the river, and free on-site parking makes arriving from further afield entirely painless.

Home truths
This is a four-storey home, so you'll be using the stairs a lot. Worth bearing in mind if anyone in your group has limited mobility.
This home comes with off-street parking for two cars – one of the rarer finds in this part of the city. We recommend using public transport for getting into central London all the same.
Your host can provide a cot for little ones upon request – just bring your own cot linen.

About Hammersmith
Hammersmith might feel slightly hectic in the area immediately surrounding the station, but fear not: attractive riverside walks, tranquil parks and village-like enclaves with great gastropubs are never more than a few minutes walk away. You'll be sharing the pavements and parks for the most part with young professionals and families.
