Found in the residential (but gently trendy) Queen’s Park neighbourhood, this is a home with real personality. Its host Hugh is a curator and designer, and that comes across through bright wallpapers and beautiful furniture. Curios also reflect his time spent travelling around the world. There’s a superb modern kitchen, but the stand-out feature is a large, plant-filled roof terrace with views of London’s chimneys. Use Queen’s Park’s nearby Underground station to go sightseeing, then return for celebratory sunset meals.

Hugh would rather not have children younger than five staying – older than that is fine though

It’s got a distinctly village-like feel: the Sunday farmer’s market is renowned as being one of the best in London and it’s where locals catch up on the local gossip as they shop for organic meat and...
