I loved my stay on Princelet street, transported back to the London of old in this immensely atmospheric building.
I stayed in the Weaver’s room, imagining the clatter of looms that might once have occupied this peaceful space. I was charmed by the thoughtful details that had gone into this room and the lovely selection of black and white photography books that helped to set the scene, with a Spitalfields theme.
I was delighted by the presence of a small visiting bird on the balcony outside, the unexpected views out to ‘The Gherkin’ and the Old Truman brewery chimney, framed perfectly by the little round window in the bathroom. I was very grateful to the cook who kindly arrived especially early to cook me breakfast before I had to depart.
All in all, a unique and lovely place to experience in the old heart of London.
