Opis:
Vincent House was preceeded by two earlier residences, Hopkinson House and Brabazon House, which were founded around 1900 by the Hopkinson family with the aim of providing affordable central London accommodation for
those seeking a career in the capital. Their ideal of offering a comfortable and good value club style residence for professionals and academics was continued when Vincent House was opened in 1940 in a spcially designed and
striking art deco building. In 1965 Vincent House became a Housing Association and registered as a friendly Society to
protect its aims in perpetuity. Vincent House is conveniently located just a few minutes walk from Notting Hill Gate underground station with connections to the West End and City. There is also an extensive range of bus routes nearby, including the Airport bus. Notting Hill Gate is an ideal starting point for many of London's popular tourist attractions and also offers wide range of local facilities. There are many banks, shops, cinemas and a variety of restaurants and bars. The world famous Portobello Road antiques market and two of the city's most beautiful Royal parks, Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, as well as Holland Park, are within walking
distance.
Breakfast and a three course dinner (lunch on Sundays) is served daily in the residents', dining room. There is a choice of hot dishes at both meals and a cold buffet selection complements the dinner menu, which ranges
from traditional English cooking to tasty continental cuisine. Guests may join residents for dinner by prior arrangement. Vincent House can accommodate up to 140 residents in centrally heated single bedrooms with bathrooms*. Each room has a telephone, is serviced daily and is comfortably furnished. A few double bedrooms are available for occasional guests and a recent introduction is the option of some suites offering a separate sitting room/study. Set on seven floors, Vincent House has two central lifts, a main staircase and easily accessible fire escapes. It also meets all current fire and environmental regulations.
