The first floor of the Townhouse is home to a generous sitting room and kitchen with a dining area; the second floor has the main bedroom with a bathroom and dressing room, and two smaller bedrooms with a bathroom occupy the smaller rooms at the top. The interiors are largely a reflection of the 8 Holland Street ethos, which has always been about displaying and juxtaposing pieces in inventive ways against a relatively calm background. Furniture, art and textiles from the entire span of the 20th century mingle with contemporary pieces; each is distinctive and beautiful in its own way, but ideally one would like to take home the lot.
