The veranda looks out over an expanse of lawn—the garden—where other guests are sipping cocktails and tea. The garden is framed by houses and apartment buildings. A cat strolls past the chairs. It’s perfect.

Hotels Own Introduction
A Garden Retreat in Kensington
Tucked away on Templeton Place in Kensington, Templeton Garden offers a tranquil escape just moments from Earl’s Court. Once a rural enclave and later home to figures such as Beatrix Potter, Alfred Hitchcock, and Agatha Christie, the neighbourhood retains a sense of quiet charm within the city’s vibrant fabric.
An Oasis at the Heart of the Hotel
At its centre lies a lush private garden—an enduring nod to the area’s leafy heritage. This serene green space creates a rare sense of calm, where contemporary design is softened by classic English elegance.
Rooms Designed for Rest and Ease
The hotel’s 156 rooms and suites are conceived as peaceful urban retreats. Many feature private balconies, while others overlook the garden or the surrounding streetscape. Each space is thoughtfully appointed to offer both comfort and character for every kind of stay.
Seasonal Dining, Rooted in Place
The culinary offering draws inspiration from the garden itself, celebrating fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced through close relationships with independent producers. At Pippin’s, nostalgic British flavours are reimagined with a modern touch, while Sprout Bar presents inventive cocktails crafted with precision and creativity.
A Playful Take on Refinement
Sprout balances sophistication with a subtle sense of irreverence—where quality is paramount, yet the atmosphere remains relaxed and inviting. Each drink is designed to surprise, delight, and reflect its surroundings.
A New London Favourite
Templeton Garden blends heritage, design, and a sense of locality to create a stay that feels both elevated and effortlessly welcoming—an intimate sanctuary in one of London’s most connected neighbourhoods.
