The Lodge is in a stunning position, the best one for a Hampstead Village lover as I am. Gainsborough Gardens is a private garden on which few marvellous houses insist. The Lodge is one of them just round the corner of the entrance from the main gate behind the Wells' Tavern. Just few steps on the left and you are in front of the Burgh House and the Flask Walk. On the right you are directly across Hampstead Heath.
The Royal Free Hospital is 3 minute walking distance.
The Lodge is very charming with a marvellous view of the Gardens. The room itself is quite large and it has parquet floor. The bathroom very large and English style.
The only problem - but is well clear in the ad - is for people with reduced ability to walk because of the very narrow spiral staircase.
Farida is a great woman.
Very helpful and friendly. She rules a little but charming art gallery in the Centre of Hampstead.
As I was in London for the launch of my book at the Royal Free Hospital which is intended to support an international fellowship project Farida offered me spontaneously the opportunity to organise a fundraising event in her gallery which was really a great event.
I think this is a clear example of her passion and enthusiasm which she share with her guests.
