Description Hanwell Hideaway: London

Offering a shared garden and patio, this pad is a relaxing home-from-home for small groups of friends and families. When you're not sharing alfresco meals during the warmer months, the thoughtfully designed living space welcomes cosy evenings. The minimalist bedrooms will help you unwind after busy days and both rooms have direct access to the outside area. Location-wise, Hanwell train station is a short walk away, and it takes just twenty minutes to reach the city centre. Alternatively, the shops, pubs and restaurants are at your fingertips should you wish to stay local.
