A spirited stay with clashing colours, classic bites and Koi fish, set between the South Kensington stuccos –the mismatched magic of this townhouse might be London’s number one for a whimsical city break
Location
With its discreet, column-framed entrance squeezed between private residences on Sumner Place, Number Sixteen enjoys the serenity of SW7, while being just steps from some of London’s most celebrated museums. From this terrace of white mid-Victorian stucco in South Kensington, it’s a short stroll to the Natural History Museum, Science Museum and the V&A, as well as high-end shopping in Harrods and the big brands of Brompton Road. South Kensington Underground Station is just a three-minute walk away for the Piccadilly, Circle and District lines linking into the city. After check-out, it’s less than a 20-minute taxi to Victoria and Paddington stations for connections further afield.
