“The Bishop, a former mansion on the exclusive Bishop's Avenue, presents an intriguing alternative to London's standard hotel scene. It's more like staying in a grand, if slightly timeworn, private residence, with uniquely attentive staff. Its location provides convenient access to central London, yet maintains a quiet, residential feel, and the inclusion of free parking is a notable perk.”
