The Park Hotel ***
It’s time to rub shoulders with Tom Nook as you spend 24 hours in London’s best kept secret, the leafy suburb of Teddington. After dropping your bags in a cosy room that’s going to become your favourite retreat, you’ll cross paths with deer and birds in Bushy Park. If you fancy trading in time with these four-legged friends for something a little more historical, you could even visit the nearby Hampton Court Palace. Whatever you choose, you’ll reward your efforts with a signature cocktail at the classically British pub where you’ll be residing for the night.
What to expect:
🚂 Hop on the train, grab a window seat and soak up the feeling of a change in scenery in 35 minutes.
🧳 Drop your bags in your room and take in all the features that pay homage to the hotel’s Victorian heritage.
🦌 Pop on some shoes you don’t mind getting a bit muddy and rub shoulders with all your favourite furry-friends during a wander around Bushy Park.
🏰 Learn about the area’s colourful Tudor history with a visit to the nearby Hampton Court Palace.
🍸 Head back to the hotel for a cocktail.
📺 Settle into the kind of evening that’s perfect for the chillier weather: climb under a squishy duvet, pop on the TV and relax.
🍳 Wake up well-rested and ready for the kind of slap-up full English breakfast that your stomach is always growling for.
- As well as Red Deer and Fallow Deer, Bushy Park is home to rabbits, voles, mice and shrews. You’re about to become West London’s answer to Snow White.
- Hampton Court Palace is not only easy on the eyes, but goes all the way back to the reign of the rather infamous Henry VIII.
