40 Winks is based in hip and trendy East London. The house has a very glamorous history. For more than a decade, it was one of London’s most popular fashion and celebrity locations, playing host to hundreds of major advertising campaigns and high profile editorial shoots. So many photographers, stylists and models kept asking if they could stay there that they came up with the idea of ’40 Winks’.

A whimsical mashup of decor that’s equal parts Jane Austen, Lewis Carroll, and Frida Kahlo, 40 Winks is a tiny boutique property in rapidly gentrifying East London that’s a flight of pure fancy. The three-pearl property has just two rooms, and their bath is shared. There’s also no in-room TVs. Despite its bijou size, it has achieved an almost mythical status since guests find much more entertainment in the elegant 18th-century interiors. Take a tour then!!!!
