Edwardian civic building turned design hotel; grand council chambers and a strong cocktail lineage.
Insider Intel
Room Tip
Cocktail in the old Council Chamber - the vaulted ceilings are something else. Corner Room restaurant is worth a meal.
Best Time
Early evening for Council Chamber drinks when it's quiet. Columbia Road flower market is Sunday morning nearby.
