Leisure & Business

“The leafy garden square location and Grade II listed building hint at a certain refined charm, even if some find the decor a little too ambitious for its own good; I imagine the on-site bar, named after Dame Ellen Terry, provides a cozy refuge. Its proximity to Earls Court Underground Station and nearby dining means London is easily within reach. Overall, it's a solid choice, provided the fire alarm sensitivities have been addressed.”
