I’ve just enjoyed a really relaxed overnight stay at Mason & Fifth, along with dinner at Canal which is its partner restaurant (amazing Monkfish crudo). Being a South Londoner, I’ve not done much exploring of the North side of London, so this was an eye-opener and I’ll definitely be back. M&F is a village in its own right, on the edge of all that Notting Hill has to offer, with a young vibe for all ages. So much more than a hotel and without the ‘hubbub’ of Central London. Expect crisp white linens and the comfiest bed, peaceful surroundings for the best night’s sleep, and a continental breakfast that reminds you how delicious a simple boiled egg with good cheese and charcuterie can be. A special mention for the rhubarb compote! We reluctantly left after our 11am checkout, then spent a fabulous time on the river’s edge at Hammersmith - just a few stops away via nearby the underground, making for the ideal canal/river combo stay in London.
