Scene
A contemporary hotel in converted Victorian mansions
The property is set within two converted Victorian mansions and former coach stables. In 2015, a new, modern wing was built, but all in all this is a thoroughly contemporary property. The hotel has blended old and new by keeping some original features and juxtaposing them with modern design and upscale features. The
lobby has a trendy feel created by its cool gray and teal color scheme along fashionable furniture like a silver velvet Chesterfield sofa. Many of the corridors have exposed brick walls and skylights letting in natural light. The hotel is geared toward corporate clients, which make up the majority of the guests. But it's also a great place for anyone wanting to be in a quiet part of London with reasonably easy access to the city center. The hotel is also pet friendly and can
Location
In leafy Putney, a five-minute walk from the underground
The hotel is located on a relatively busy South West London street in the residential Putney neighborhood. Putney is a leafy suburb, with tree-lined streets and a host of charming local shops and cafes to explore. The banks of the River Thames are a 10- to 15-minute walk from the hotel, where there are many excellent riverside restaurants and bars. The area also has some of the best green spaces in London -- Wandsworth Park is just a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Seeing the major London sights, though, will require a cab or tube ride. The hotel is just a five-minute walk from East Putney Underground station. From there, getting into central London is a 20-minute journey, and the City of London financial district takes around 30 minutes to reach. Heathrow International Airport is 30 minutes to an hour away by cab depending on traffic, or 45 minutes by using the tube and train. Gatwick Airport is a 50-minute journey by combining the bus and the train.
