A whimsical mashup of decor that's equal parts Jane Austen, Lewis Carroll, and Frida Kahlo, 40 Winks is a tiny boutique property in rapidly gentrifying East London that's a flight of pure fancy. The three-pearl property has just two rooms, and their bath is shared. There's also no in-room TVs. But guest find much more entertainment in the elegant 18th-century interiors. The property's owner, interior designer David Carter, cheerfully acts as concierge, but alas the location is a bit of a distance to London's top attractions, a ride away on the London Underground. Another option for a bed-and-breakfast with a dose of whimsy, The California provides a more central location, but less dramatic interiors.
