London's colourful houses
London’s most colourful streets will bring a smile to your face no matter how rainy the weather may be.

Set in Twickenham, Strawberry Hill is Britain’s finest example of Gothic revival architecture. Splendid rooms with vaulted ceilings, gilded details, dramatic staircases, a magnificent garden… This eccentric hidden spot will make you fall in love at once. Don’t forget to check the house’s opening hours before you set off!
St. Katharine Docks
