Minutes away from Kensal Rise station, London becomes your oyster when you use this home as a base from which to explore everything this beautiful city has to offer. Venture more centrally towards Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey, or if this is more of a business stay than a recreational one, you can always opt for one of the trendier Soho bars to meet up with clients at. Romantics might stroll, hand-in-hand, through the Japanese garden at Hammersmith Park before grabbing a bite to eat. Back home, the romance can continue with a sunset cheese and wine spread out on the patio before snuggling up on the sofa with a movie and a box of chocolates. Book lovers, on the other hand, will delight in the book selection – pick one and read it at the bistro table whilst nursing a cup of coffee. The dining nook – with a church pew and woven chairs for seating – cuts a charming figure where it sits in the morning sunshine, so enjoy breakfasts whilst catching up on the news or a crossword puzzle. The extension that was added in 2020 ensures that there is plenty of light on offer here and the effect, alongside the range of carefully curated mid-century and bohemian furnishings, is a homely space that feel special enough to unwind in.

About Kensal Green
Situated in the culturally diverse Borough of Brent, away from the thrum of tourists, Kensal Green – sometimes known as Kensal Rise – is one of West London’s most coveted postcodes. The not-for-profit Lexi Cinema, with its selection of arthouse and mainstream flicks has become a firm favourite among the neighbourhood’s creative types.
