BINGHAM - BOUTIQUE GEORGIAN TOWNHOUSE - £££


JUST SEVEN SATNAV MILES FROM THE WEST END but distant enough to feel like an out-of-town escape, Bingham sits on the banks of the rippling Thames in leafy Richmond. This chic Georgian townhouse treat is tailor-made for couples after an effortless weekend getaway from the big city, or who reckon that when it comes to London town, west is undeniably best. Behind its elegant facade, Bingham has a sleek and bold boutique-y feel – right up to its modish glass chandeliers and down to its trendy leather tub chairs. Tall Georgian windows, intricate coving and other original features are brilliantly offset by the distinctly contemporary decor. Lounge on a leather sofa in the bar and work your way through the cocktail list (we loved the signature Bingham vodka spritz), or sit on the Thameside terrace with a glass of fizz enjoying the evening rays. Stress-out London seemed a million miles away here – though it’s just half an hour by tube if you need your urban fix.
