Living Etc House Tours 2021: Primrose Hill
As an interiors stylist and a lover of nosying around the homes of others, guilt free, the Living Etc House Tours is THE event of my interiors calendar, and one that I really missed in 2020.
The Standard, London; The 1970’s Design Hotel of Dreams
The Standard, London is housed in the former Camden Town Hall Annex built in 1974 in true Brutalist style, and it’s been on my hotel wish list since it opened in 2019. With it’s jaw-droppingly cool interior, sympathetic to its 1970’s exterior, great restaurants and bars within its shell, and bedrooms with a view of my favourite building in London - I thought it was time to visit The Standard.
