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.

  • We stayed at The Georgian House in February 2009 and could not have made a more perfect choice for our London trip. It's not often that something exceeds expectations, but The Georgian House certainly does! From our first email to Laura, we knew we had made the right choice. She patiently answered all questions and arranged for airport pickup for us. When we couldn't find the driver at the airport, Laura called him for us and all was well. Laura and David have thought of everything their guest might need. We were greeted with a lovely hamper with jam, coffee, tea, butter, bread, wine, etc. that made the first morning stress free, as we already had our "provisions"! The apartment is beautifully furnished and decorated and totally immaculate. Traveling with a child, we especially found the washer and dryer useful. There is a full kitchen, local restaurant menus, and every guide book you could think of. Even the floors are heated which is lovely in the cold weather. Upstairs you will find a computer for guest use, with Ipod connectors, skype, a cell phone you may borrow; in short, everything you may want has already been anticipated and taken care of. The Georgian House is just a short walk away from the nearest tube station and about a 25 minute ride into central London. It's also just a stroll to many restaurants, Portobello Road and a grocery. Laura and David cheerfully answered every question we had and even accepted delivery of a pizza for us one night, when we were just too tired to go out. Believe all the positive reviews about the Georgian House and the pictures as wonderful as they are, do not do this stunning property justice. We travel quite a bit, and usually don't go back to the same place twice, but I would absolutely love to return to The Georgian House.

  • Thank you so much Laura and David for such a wonderful place to stay in London. Our family of 2 parents and 2 children were so comfortable in this home. We really appreciated all of the amenities and helpful advice about London. We feel so lucky to have been able to stay there, and will readily recommend this to anyone visiting London.

    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!!
