Hotel Details
For absolute peace after a hectic day in the City this is the place to be.
Iolanthe is located opposite Hampstead Heath - a miracle of preservation - 800 acres of woods meadows natural ponds where you are able to swim with the ducks where wild flowers grow birds sing and the air smells truly sweet.
Rosy s grandparents bought the house in 1941 and lived in it during the war with their children and until 1987.
In 1935 Iolanthe was bought by a concert pianist and sculptress Eleanor Wheatley Steele who contructed the extension to the drawing room to accommodate her grand piano.
It is a freestanding dwelling in neo-Georgian country-house style of red and grey brick contructed for its first owner Herbert Stewart Parnum a timber importer who laid the teak flooring and gave the house its name.
who was also responsible for the design of the extension in 1938.
Iolanthe was designed in 1921 by Sir Raymond s successor Mr John C.S.Soutar F.R.I.B.A.
Alas for Henrietta s dream the beauty remains but only the rich can afford to buy even the smallest cottage.
Beauty both in layout architecture and planting was an essential consideration as most beautiful surroundings contribute to the happiness of life for both rich and poor.
She was determined to retain and create as many features of the country as was consistent with a town community.
She declared that houses be so planned that none should spoil each other s outlook or rob its neighbour of beauty.
It was founded by Dame Henrietta Barnett in 1907 who appalled at the living conditions of London s poor declared her intention to establish a community where persons of all classes of society and standards of income could be accommodated and the handicapped welcomed.
Hampstead Garden Suburb is located to the north of the village of Hampstead and east of Golders Green.
The Victorians called it the lung of London and as you leave the smoke behind and climb to 440 feet above ocean level you feel that you can breath again.
