At the corner of Cromwell Place, directly across from South Kensington station, The Pelham is a townhouse hotel with an English eccentric streak. Interiors by Kit Kemp bring patterned fabrics, bold colours, and bespoke upholstery into a series of sitting rooms that feel both curated and lived in. It is less about uniform luxury, more about layered comfort, with fireplaces, artworks, and bookshelves setting the tone.

The location places it at the heart of the museum district, with the V&A, Science Museum, and Natural History Museum all within a short stroll. Bedrooms are individually styled, mixing heritage details with contemporary textures, while service is attentive yet informal. The drawing room and wood-panelled bar invite guests to linger, underscoring the sense that this is a home as much as a hotel.
