Templeton Garden

The entire hotel is organized around a large, central garden courtyard – a genuinely quiet green space that feels completely removed from the rest of the city. Set within a series of traditional London townhouses on a residential street in Earl's Court, Templeton Garden uses this unique layout to create a calm, almost secluded atmosphere. Its location is just a short walk from the Earl's Court tube station, making it a practical base, but the hotel itself is designed to be a retreat from the city's pace. Inside, the design is contemporary and clean, with warm, earthy tones throughout the communal spaces and 156 guest rooms. Many of the rooms look directly out over the garden or have small balconies, though some of the standard layouts can be compact. You'll find high-quality toiletries from Le Labo in the bathrooms, a specific detail that reflects the hotel's thoughtful approach. Downstairs, the hotel has a neighborhood restaurant called Pippin’s, which serves a menu of modern British dishes with a focus on seasonal ingredients. There's also a separate bar, Sprout, which is a popular spot for its creative, well-made cocktails. While the bar can get busy, the garden remains the real center of gravity. It’s the space people use for a quiet break, offering a peaceful contrast to the usual London energy just outside the door.
