This spectacular family house, a classic London townhouse built in 1846, is quietly yet centrally situated in a friendly and beautiful London terrace 10 minutes' WALK from Buckingham Palace. We offer self-check-in (so no need to meet hosts) and deep-clean between rentals with antivirals. We provide hand sanitiser and all toiletries. Linen and towels are washed on high temperatures. A welcome pack of groceries greets you on arrival. A history of the house through to the present day has been compiled and published, - and we gift each group of guests a 'memento' copy. The house has 7 bedrooms (3 with desks – and all with black-out blinds), a conservatory-office (seats 2 people), a sitting room, a kitchen-dining room (seats 12) which can double as a meeting room, 3 bath/shower rooms + 2 separate WCs. Free unlimited high-speed wi-fi throughout; 5 x SMART TVs with Netflix (and Disney on request); digital radio/sound systems with iPad, iPhone/MP3 'docks', SMART speakers, and Amazon Echo. With the rooms laid out on four main floors (and some mezzanines), the house works well for extended families or a team of co-workers, with great opportunities for privacy, as well as for all members of a guest-group to meet sociably.

We are a couple who have worked mainly in the theatre and the arts, although Adrienne is now a writer/researcher specialising in fatherhood and Martin coaches in communications. We purchased our central London home in 1985 and lived there until 2002. The moment we opened the door we loved it. It felt then, and feels now, as if only happy things have happened here - which can't possibly be true, since it's more than 150 years since it was built! We wanted to live right in the heart of London, and you can't get much closer to the heart than this. We also wanted a spacious house, with high ceilings and a sense of generations upon generations of people living there before us. And that is exactly what we got! We raised our family here, working from home, so the house has always been busy and full of children. When we left it, and downshifted to another part of London, we rejoiced that we didn't have to sell it, and that other people could now enjoy it too.

The location of this wonderful house is unbeatable. The area is safe, and the neighbouring streets are full of great local shops including 24-hour supermarkets, cafes and restaurants, post-office, beauty salons, hairdressers, haute couture, and antique shops. At one end of the street is a local food market; at the other, under two minutes' walk from the house, is Pimlico Underground ('Tube') Station and terrific local bus routes. The location is, above all, CENTRAL. From the house it is just a short stroll to Victoria Station, Tate Britain, the Thames, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Cathedral, St James’ Park, Battersea Park, Downing Street, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey., Several theatres are close by, as is a beautiful cinema. It is only a short tube/bus/taxi ride (or you can walk) to Hyde Park, Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Oxford Street, Piccadilly Circus, the West End, Chinatown, Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square, the National Gallery, the National Theatre, the National Film Theatre, the Festival Hall, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, the Tate Modern the London Eye, the London Aquarium and the great London Museums.
