West Lodge Park Hotel  

Tucked on the edge of North London in Hadley Wood (Barnet), this country house hotel sits in 35 acres of parkland and is about a mile from Cockfosters Tube station with direct Piccadilly Line links to central London. Nearby highlights include Alexandra Palace, London Zoo and easy access to Selfridges, The British Museum and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

A three-generation, family-run hotel with 59 bedrooms, West Lodge Park blends classic country-house charm with curated art — the Mary Beale/Edward Beale collection features Old Master paintings by the family's ancestor. Rooms offer garden views, air conditioning, LCD TVs, Egyptian cotton linens, blackout drapes and in-room coffee/tea makers, with larger rooms adding fridges, bathrobes and extra space.

Stretch out on terraces and in the garden, wander the Beale Arboretum of over 800 tree species, or grab a drink on the terrace bar — there’s a picnic area, sauna and a yoga space for active downtime. Practical perks include complimentary wired and wireless internet, 24-hour room service and free on-site self-parking.

Event-ready with eight banqueting rooms, conference and meeting facilities, plus a business center and express check-in/checkout — all supported by complimentary high-speed (wired) internet.
