With spellbinding surprises for wizards and muggles alike, this whimsical and stylish Pimlico hotel is spread between the main, Grade II listed building and two townhouses nearby. Its contemporary accommodation ('posher than a B&B but way more chilled than your typical hotel') includes everything from small single rooms to spacious family apartments. Harry Potter fans of all ages might choose wizard-themed basement 'chambers' in the main house: accessed via a hidden door in a bookcase, they reveal (faux) stained-glass windows, velvet drapes, trunks and tapestries. A Guide insider staying in one of the newly refurbished apartments in Chinnery House loved the blend of styles in the interiors, with 'a seventies coffee table in the sitting room and antique desk in the bedroom', as well as a 'kitchenette with all the goodies' and a 'super-comfy bed'. 'Staying here is like having your own pied a terre in London, with a key to the front door.' Apartment guests can use the hotel facilities, including a café/bar which serves breakfast, drinks, snacks and an enchanting afternoon tea. Potion-mixing is a magical option, as is wizard cocktail/mocktail making. Stairs are steep; cheerful staff help with luggage. Buckingham Palace is a short walk away.
