“This Grade II listed building has a certain charm with its leafy garden square. The on-site bar, named after Dame Ellen Terry, brings a touch of British character. I think its best feature is the private walled garden, a peaceful contrast to the bustle of the neighborhood. With Earls Court station nearby, it's a practical choice for exploring the city.”
