The Colonnade Hotel
2 Warrington Crescent
London, W9 1ER
This beautiful Victorian building was originally built as two private homes in the 1800s. In 1886, the building was converted to a hospital call "Warrington Lodge", which was designed as an invalid's hotel, where ladies, of all means, during illness, confinement or requiring operations could have all the comforts and privacy of home. One of the many original features remaining from this era is the unusually shaped lift, which was used to carry stretchers and trolleys up to the operating theatre. Alan Turing, the brilliant mathematician responsible for breaking the Enigma code during the last World War, was born here in 1921. An English Heritage plaque commemorating Turing, proudly hangs in the entrance. Sigmund Freud, the world famous psychoanalyst, stayed in 1938, en route to new home in Hampstead.
Situated in the prestigious oasis of central London's "Little Venice", this smart sophisticated residential area is within minutes of Heathrow Express at Paddington Station and is convenient for London's many sights, restaurants, and business areas.
