Cannizaro House

Built in the 18^th Century, Cannizaro House is a hidden Oasis set in the heart of Wimbledon. The hotel itself overlooks 34 acres of Cannizaro Park, which really makes you feel like you are in the heart of the countryside. It's so rare to find a beautiful boutique hotel in London that is not only quintessentially British in look and feel, but offers a venue for weddings outside - the terrace overlooking the rolling parkland is simply glorious and makes for a wonderful venue.

The hotel has been recently refurbished with each of the 46 rooms individually designed and decorated. The hotels décor successfully and sympathetically blends both its aristocratic roots with a contemporary twist, namely the modern art adorning the walls and the quirky wall paper decorating each room.

However, the real wow factor is the terrace. Pray for sunshine and you really could have the perfect country wedding outside, but with all the luxe and convenience of London. Alternatively pay a visit to the hotel for a traditional afternoon tea and dine al fresco. Why not celebrate your recent engagement, or give your hen party a sophisticated start - the scones are simply delicious and of course go down perfectly with a glass of champagne.
