Lime Tree Hotel

If you’re after a flavour of British hospitality without breaking the bank, the Lime Tree Hotel is that rare flower: an affordable family-run stopover with spot-on service just steps from Buckingham Palace, the V&A and Tate Britain. Set on the corner of stucco-fronted Ebury Street and Elizabeth Street – the so-called prettiest in London – this is pure Mary Poppins’ territory, where the queen’s horses sometimes trot. But there’s a rural twist: green-fingered owners Matthew and Charlotte have applied allotment know-how to the hotel’s lawn-covered garden, supplying their homely Buttery restaurant with ingredients for re-imagined ploughman’s lunches and classic cocktails. And, with Victoria station around the corner, you won’t need a magic umbrella to descend on this perfectly practical address.

Not only is the Lime Tree Hotel on an adorably London-esque street, but as a first-time visitor, it puts you conveniently within walking distance of many tourist tick-box locations, such as Buckingham Palace, the V&A, Hyde Park and Harrods.

The queen-size bed is a delight and the bathroom’s walk-in shower, as are the classic metro tiles and Carrara marble details. There’s also a TV, desk, Bramley toiletries and tea- and coffee-making kit (on request).
