The Lensbury Resort  

On 25 acres along the banks of the River Thames at Teddington Lock, this riverside resort blends leafy calm with quick London access. Minutes from Twickenham Stadium, Hampton Court Palace and Kew Gardens, it's roughly 20 minutes by train to central London and about 25 minutes by car from Heathrow. Family-friendly grounds and complimentary onsite parking make it easy to unwind or explore.

Over 150 guestrooms sit in landscaped grounds with contemporary, sporty-meets-sophisticated décor and many river views. Rooms feature flat-screen TVs, safes, desks and private bathrooms with complimentary toiletries; some offer bathrobes. The property hints at a century of sporting history while keeping the look modern and relaxed.

Wake up to river-breeze mornings across 25 acres of gardens, then hit the indoor pool, state-of-the-art gym, fitness studios or 22 outdoor tennis courts. A full spa offers ELEMIS massages and body treatments, plus sauna and steam room. On-site watersports on the Thames include motorboats, kayaks, canoes and sailing; there are picnic and barbecue areas too. Complimentary Wi‑Fi runs throughout the property.

A hi-tech conference centre and multiple meeting rooms make this a solid choice for corporate events or conferences. On-property business centre, event facilities and a 24-hour front desk support meetings. Complimentary high-speed Wi‑Fi and ample free self-parking keep things efficient; an airport shuttle is available for a surcharge.

On-site dining leans modern British — enjoy the Lounge & Terrace or Dunbar restaurant for classic regional flavours. There's a coffee shop/café for lighter bites and a bar/lounge for evening drinks. Buffet breakfasts run on weekdays and weekends, and 24-hour room service is available.
