“The location certainly recommends this property, placing guests within a short walk of the Natural History Museum and Gloucester Road Tube Station. While some aspects require updating, the building is Grade II listed, blending historical charm with contemporary needs, particularly for business travellers needing meeting facilities. I think the best feature is the focus on locally sourced, seasonal produce for dining.”
