This Grand old house stands a landmark building in the Kensal Green Conservation area of Queens Park.

Eclectically and exquisitely decorated, its antique and contemporary furnishings plus modern amenities stylishly combine the 19th and 21st century making the Georgian House uniquely suited to the traditionalist and modernist in us all.

It is the quintessence of a laid-back private residence with the unique atmosphere of a bygone era. With its private courtyard access and secluded terrace the Georgian house is truly a rare London find.

Offering space and contemporary design with all the comforts of home, the Georgian house is the perfect base from which to live, relax, entertain and explore, with the freedom to come and go as you please.

Walk to the World famous Portobello market, drink mint tea in the Moroccan tea shops of Golbourne Road, feast on the retail and gourmet extravaganza that is Notting Hill, then meander home along the sweeping curves of the Grand Union Canal just in time for tea.

Its central location makes accessing any of London’s box of delights quick and painless. In London transports Zone 2, British rail and London Underground stations are three minutes walk from your door with the high-speed Heathrow Express close by.

The Georgian House - your eye in the storm.

      Dear laura and david. I meant to leave a little thank you note when i left but we just walked out without thinking !.We really enjoyed our time at your flat. I really marveled every day at your orchids and other greenery. We felt very cozy and tucked away surrounded by beautiful, well crafted objects and paintings living and non-living. It was a fabulous experience. The website for 2 for 1 deals is daysoutguide.co.uk. I printed out the coupons before we came but i have read they are also in the info racks at major rail stations. If you run across those brochures at a rail station you could just have them in your flat since Kensal Green travelcards qualify for the discount. I think in the 3 full days that we bought travelcards it saved us about 50 pounds or so. We hope all goes well with the birth of your third babe ! ! ! best regards, Julie, Shannon and Casey

    • We stayed here for 10 nights during our visit to London on our honeymoon. We couldn't have asked for more. Location was fantastic, close to fabulous pubs, the tube, shops & restaurants. The accommodation was first class, a real home away from home for those nights you want to stay in. Thank you again for your warm hospitality.

    • Our family (two adults and two teens 16 and 18) spent four fabulous days this past June in this incredible two level apartment. The apartment, which was recently renovated, is well appointed and very tastefully decorated. The apartment’s owner’s, Laura and David, live in the adjacent home and were not only great hosts but very helpful and extremely enjoyable. The location is absolutely superb. The Tube station (Kensal Green) is but a 5 min. walk which puts London at your doorstep. You can also take the local double-decker bus two blocks away for a scenic 20 min. route to downtown London traveling through some of London’s best neighborhoods. A great local supermarket is within a 5 min. walk. If you like Thai food, the Two Boys Café - a mere block and a half away - is as authentic Thai as it gets. We enjoyed our stay immensely and will definitely return.

    • We stayed at the Georgian House during our Honeymoon to Europe in May '08. It was perfectly lovely and David and Laura were gracious hosts! The apartment was so spacious and comfortable! We loved the welcome basket of yummies (though Laura and David couldn't understand why we don't drink alcohol or tea! But we loved the rest of the treats, especially the shortbread cookies!) The doggie Lilly was very sweet, even though she wouldn't let me get the ball from her no matter how hard I pulled! The babies were adorable and very well behaved! My husband quite enjoyed David's vintage MG's in the garage and took some pictures to show our 2 sons since they are both car fanatics. I quite enjoyed the terrace in the morning and evening and would often eat my meals there rather than inside. The bath upstairs was very nice and I loved the oversized shutters covering the window. So clever and I'm on the hunt for some for my own bathroom now! Laura's decorating is impeccable! David and Laura were also an invaluable wealth of information regarding London and helped us devise our "tourist plan" for the 3 days we spent in London Proper. They even invited us into their own kitchen and we watched Laura prepare their dinner while David gave us the "Brief History of London", and Laura gave him grief for doing so! It was fabulous! FYI, we purchased the "London Pass" online in advance (the only way you can) and it was a great deal. We loved having our transportation taken care of and it allowed us to see most of the major tourist sites for free. We didn't even mind the trip in on the tube for many reasons: It gave us a chance to make sure we knew where we were headed for the day; it is very well-marked and easy to manuevre; it really was only about 15 minutes into town, depending on the stops necessary; AND it's fun to people watch! One of the excursions that they suggested for our day of arrival was to walk the canal down to "Little Venice", which we loved. The major supermarket was only a 5-10 minute walk and so we went each day to get our juice and some of the items we cooked for dinner most nights. It was very convenient and allowed us to do our own cooking as we are not very adventerous eaters! When it came time to leave, Laura arranged a cab for us and when we discovered that we were "out of cash", she gave us enough to cover the trip to the rail station and then just took it from our deposit so she saved the day! We would highly recommend staying at this location. It's like a luxury hotel but you get the whole place instead of just one room. And you can make your own meals if that's what you want to do! Oh, and we loved having the internet access available 24/7 which was great for keeping in touch with our kids and families! Thanks Laura and David!!

    • This is a terrific place to stay. My wife and I were there with our 4 and 6 year old boys for 3 nights. Laura and David have a young family too, and were warm, relaxed, and hospitable. The apartment had plenty of space, and a small stock of grownup and kid-friendly DVDs helped the boys unwind after a day of tourism. All the other comments on the site characterize this well! I'd only note that it is a good 25 minutes on the tube till you get to the central tourist areas of London. The New York analogy would be Park Slope in Brooklyn -- another lovely place a half-hour by subway from Midtown. A fine place!

    • My husband and I stayed at this lovely apartment while visiting our daughter. Although it was a little ways from the center of London it was comforting to come back, after a short underground trip to this wonderful oasis. There was nothing that was overlooked from the welcome basket of thoughtful provisions, the comfortable bed and linens, the tasteful and immaculate space, the availabilty of Laura and David's assistance with any questions, to the assurance of privacy. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to recommend this apartment to anyone. Laura and David, many thanks for a memorable stay! Maggie and Ed

    • Having lived in London for several years, we were really looking forward to finding a home away from home close to our old neighborhood and we found it at David and Laura's beautiful Georgian House. Everything was perfect; lovely welcome basket, beautiful furnishings/decor and almost unheard of in London, 5 GBP per day car parking with free weekends! The bus and tube are both very close by and there are many shops, restaurants and a large supermarket within walking distance. A very nice experience for our first time back to London as "visitors"...we'll see you again soon!

      Dear Laura and David, Beatrice, Bela and myself just wanted to let you know what a lovely time we had last weekend. You have managed to create a beautiful pied à terre for guests coming from overseas and I can guarantee that you will start getting a lot of French visitors from now on! Our thanks to you for your kind hospitality, a pat for Lily and lots of cuddles for Grace and Evie. We will be back! Luan, Beatrice and Bela. Suez Environnement - rue d Astorg 75008 Paris
