- - [Kit] I always feel that if you're staying at Number Sixteen in South Kensington, you feel like a Londoner in London. Because Number Sixteen is a series of stucco buildings, they're pure white, and just around the corner from the museums and Kensington Gardens. The front door is heralded by a couple of benches. And then once you're in the hotel, we have a series of rooms, and we felt it would be lovely to have summer in one room and winter in another room. But equally, you could look at it as day and night. Having this little succession of rooms with very different feels makes it more of an adventure. Then, we walk through to the Orangery, and this room is light-filled, filled with art, of course, and lots of flowers. And it leads onto our little gem of a garden, at the back. It's such a hidden treasure. There's a length of view as you look from the Orangery right to the gazebo at the end of the garden. And that encapsulates a beautiful fish pond, which is planted with iris and water lilies. There's a sculpture, and many fish that children just love to lie down and look at very closely. To create a successful garden, it's good to have architectural and sculptural features. For our sculpture, we have a wonderful slate circle by Tom Stogdon, and that sits against a curtain of laurel and stands out quite beautifully. We also have mosaics, which are beneath the wooden arch, and they almost work like carpets within a garden. So we have the York stone, and the pebbles, the mosaics, and the slate. So all these different textures work together to make the garden very special. It's so wonderful to see so much nature, right in the centre of South Kensington. The garden is a real sanctuary that works at any time of day. We wanted this room to reflect the garden. There should be a vividness and light about it. So the colours actually work very well, and the two work together. The artworks are pieces that we've collected over the years, and three of them are actually aboriginal. We have a spiky hedgehog, wonderful mythical cats, and we have one elephant that appears to be half elephant and half zebra. And presiding over the whole scene are Thelma and Louise. They're completely made out of papier-mache. Number Sixteen is part of our townhouse collection. The bedrooms are light, airy, and colourful, most of all comfortable. Every time you come and stay, it can be a different experience. At the front of the building, you're overlooking a tree-lined street, and at the back, the beautiful gardens of Number Sixteen at Sumner Place. So staying here makes you feel as if you were a Londoner, you're part of that village feel of South Kensington, and it's a place to make your own.
