About the home

THE RESIDENTIAL SUITE reigns supreme for romantic getaways, city breaks, business trips, and cultural cruising of the London art, music & fashion scenes. Enjoy fast easy access to Shoreditch, Soho, Camden Town, the City, Canary Wharf, the Olympic Park and so much more!

Situated atop The Residence gallery in the heart of historic Victoria Park Village, this 1860 built private suite offers boutique hotel style essentials in your very own exclusive London pad (you will not be sharing with others). Here you can find a culturally rich, fashionable and authentic experience of life as a Londoner beside one of the capital's most popular parks (having just undergone a £12 million revamp and won the People's Choice Award). Prize winning restaurants, traditional pubs, organic grocers, art galleries, English gardens, row boats, tennis courts, spa, swimming pools, beauty salons and stylish village shops are steps away. Victoria Park Village featured as "London's hidden gem" in the Feb. 2012 issue of Living Etc. Magazine and more recently in the Metro newspaper.

"One appeal of London for many visitors is the promise of a quaint neighborhood, a place where the vague, romantic notion of the English market village merges with London's bustling energy. The thing is, many parts of London's West that might once have fulfilled such fantasies have become very expensive, mobbed with tourists...
Victoria Park Village, with its inarguable cuteness and many local, small-scale specialty shops, delivers the traditional neighborhood goods."-Alex Robertson Texter, "Round-the-world: Victoria Park Village, London's most perfect retail cluster"

AMMENITIES AT THE RESIDENTIAL SUITE:

Unwind after a busy day of gallery hopping -
In the Master Bedroom the Egyptian cotton comfort of a King sized antique French bed awaits you (featuring new memory foam mattress and luxury cushioned mattress topper).
The open plan lounge offers a dining area and sofa that pulls-out to a king bed.
The suite is stylishly presented with wallpaper designed by Vivienne Westwood, chairs by Phillippe Starck and an eclectic mix of art, antique and contemporary furnishings on a backdrop of original features including exposed brick fireplaces.

The suite's self-catering kitchen is fully equipped with cutlery, crockery, pans, microwave, kettle, coffee maker, fridge and its upgrades for August 2012 include a new washer/dryer and remote control designer ceiling fan!
The bathroom is stocked with fresh Egyptian cotton towels and fine quality Duck Island of London shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, hand soap and shower gel.
Furthermore, your suite offers a safe for valuables, alarm clock, flat screen TV/DVD, ipod/iphone speaker dock, blow dryer, ironing facilities, central heating, complimentary wireless broadband, and free housekeeping service upon request.

DINING OUT

The Residential Suite is next door to award winning restaurants (British, Italian, French, Indian, Mediterranean, Vietnamese fusion, tapas, seafood, steak, vegetarian, organic and locally sourced).
Directly opposite the suite is "Amandine," a charming and delicious treat for "relaxed breakfasts, lazy lunches and tempting afternoon teas" - not to mention homemade cakes! Another favourite is "PAVILION," the park cafe with a stunning panoramic lake view, serving fresh organic full English breakfasts, salads, sandwiches and now locally brewed beer! For dinner head to "Spit Jack's" a highly recommended tapas joint, "Su Sazzagoni" a superb traditional Sardinian restaurant or "The Empress" where head chef Elliott Lidstone brings over 12 years experience in Michelin starred kitchens to offer you modern British/European delights. These are just a few favourites from a list of many more!

WHAT TO DO:

If you want a taste of authentic London away from the tourist traps, why not enjoy a day of visiting trendy markets or the numerous art galleries dotted around, followed by a pint at one of our many traditional pubs? While Victoria Park VIllage has art and shops to check out right on your door-step, a short jaunt in any direction will lead you to enclaves of galleries such as Vyner Street, Bethnal Green and London Fields. Historic Roman Road Market, flashy new Westfield Shopping Centre and fashionable Broadway Market are just a few of the local shopping delights not to be missed. Walk 15min. in another direction and you'll have an exclusive view of London's 2012 Olympic Park! Nearby scenic Victoria Park is host to major music summer events and festivals (Field Day, Love Box, High Voltage, LED Festival) showcasing the likes of Grace Jones, Lana Del Ray, Roxy Music and more. For a more peaceful mood take a walk to discover charming canal boats, row boats for hire (just £10.50), tennis courts, imposing Victorian monuments, Chinese Pagoda and exquisite gardens. All of these attractions listed above are within walking distance.

The South East England / London region

London is South East England's most iconic travel destination and home to an amazing array of sights, activities and events. Places of interest include the Tate galleries, Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, London Eye, Big Ben, and the Houses of Parliament. Even first time visitors to London will quickly be enthralled by how fun and fascinating London really can be. London conjures up history and a powerful past. However this isn’t all that London is about. Vibrant, pulsating and dripping with opportunities for entertainment or sightseeing by day or night, it's a city that exhilarates and stimulates

London's climate is among the mildest in England, with damp but mild winters and moderate summers. Temperatures in summertime (June to August) average around 18°C but can occasionally rise to 30°C or more. In spring (late March to May) and autumn (September to October), temperatures average 11-15°C. In winter (November to mid-March) they hover just below 6°C. It very rarely freezes in London.

The River Thames divides the city into northern and southern halves making navigation reasonably easy. Theatre lovers will be inspired by the productions held here, musicians will love the variety of sounds, artists will delight in the age and colour of the place, the galleries and museums. Sports enthusiasts too, won’t be disappointed by the action on offer. Historians can get lost in a time warp and the young at heart will find plenty of opportunity to party the night away. No matter what type of holiday destination you seek, London can almost guarantee a taste (if not the full course) of anyone’s dream holiday.
