The house
Mason & FifthRestored Victorian guesthouse
Four Victorian townhouses run like a shared home, centered around communal drawing rooms and a garden yoga pavilion.
What it’s good at
Notable
Red Deer lined the rooms with woven British textiles and studio-moulded ceramic fonts.
Notable
Four interconnected 1860s Grade II-listed stucco townhouses restored around a leafy courtyard.
Listed
Morning runs around Primrose Hill and sourdough from neighborhood bakeries shape the stay.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
St Mark's Square opens toward Regent's Park, and Primrose Hill's summit is a short stroll away.
The rooms
Studios come with fitted kitchenettes and dining nooks, and bathrooms have rainfall showers.
The yoga pavilion
A standalone pavilion in the garden is stocked with mats and blankets for morning yoga classes.
At the table
Guests share a long oak table in the kitchen, where fresh eggs and Caravan coffee are laid out each morning.
How it began
The property began in the 1860s as Vernon House, a terrace of stucco residences on St Mark's Square.
