The Hotel Guru is pretty upscale but fun to look at. Marcie Ellers.
“NOW CLOSED Tasteful townhouse B&B in hip East London. Contemporary design. Wooden floors, white washed walls, antique furniture. Friendly laid-backed service. Excellent breakfasts. Walking distance from Homerton station with good links to the rest of london. A real home away from home.”

Hotel Review
“Inspired by upmarket B&B¹s in New York, Annette Russell left the music industry to renovate a Victorian townhouse in Clapton; the result is elegant and welcoming exposed brickwork, wooden floors, feather duvets, Egyptian cotton sheets. Annette will rustle up an organic breakfast - sausages from the East End Sausage Company - before taking whippet Reggie for a walk on nearby Hackney Downs. Clapton is home to a fascinating collection of independent cafes, shops, bars, and dinner at the popular Chatsworth Kitchen across the road is a must. Central London 20 minutes by train.”

Russell's of Clapton
Annette Russell, a music industry manager-turned-B&B owner, has been welcoming people to her stylish property since 2011. Guests - who sometimes stay for a night or two, sometimes a month or more - may be met by Annette's whippet, Reggie, and the property is dog-friendly.
