“I found The Royal Foundation of St Katharine to be a refreshing anomaly. Its proximity to the Limehouse DLR station makes zipping around London simple, while the property itself-particularly the Yurt Café nestled in the gardens-feels worlds away from the city's bustle. The absence of televisions in the rooms actively encourages a tranquil, reflective stay, something I deeply appreciated.”
