London offers so many attractions and landmarks that - so the saying goes - every time you return you are sure to discover something new. Don't miss Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, the Tower of London and, of course, Buckingham Palace.

Museum lovers should head straight for the British Museum, National Gallery, Victoria & Albert Museum and Tate Modern.

Set in an elegant Victorian building nestling in the lush beauty of the private Egerton Gardens, The Franklin has recently been refurbished by celebrity designer Anouska Hempel, whose work has helped create one of the most outstanding 5-star boutique hotels on the London scene.

Sophisticated elegance in the heart of Knightsbridge, London

One of Architectural Digest’s Top 100 World Designers and Architects, the extraordinarily talented Anouska Hempel has made her reputation as an in-demand interior designer on the London scene.

For The Franklin, Hempel drew on her own elegant lifestyle and took inspiration from her travels and Venetian design to create a property that feels more like a warm and inviting private townhome than a hotel.
