Laridae Hammersmith, Greater London

Holiday Rental Description

A modern yet cottage-like feel in a capital city sounds pretty hard to find, but this maisonette in Fulham is sure to delight. On this peaceful street of terraced houses, you’ll feel right at home as you enter the large living space. The decor channels a mature English country vibe that you might not expect in London. Distressed wooden frames and an antique-style map bring some old-time charm to the living space. Sink into plush sofas in pale pinks and neutrals, and get comfy on floral, patterned cushions. But upon further inspection, the ultra-modern kitchen and bathrooms contrast everything about this decor. The surprises continue with the architecture itself – the mezzanine floor over the living area is a rare feature, as is the private roof terrace. This brings a continental vibe to the otherwise traditional elements of the interior, especially when you throw a rooftop barbecue into the mix. If you ever manage to descend from that perfect spot, the local area offers cafés, pubs, delis, and plenty of green spaces. Take a waterside stroll to historic Fulham Palace and botanical gardens, or go further afield to explore exclusive West London spots in Chelsea. Enjoy a day of boutique shopping, knowing that you can return here by night for a warming cup of Earl Grey.
