Overview
Austen House holds a spectacular location within the popular neighbourhood of Marylebone. This area is best known for its Georgian homes, independent shops and of course Baker Street, home to Sherlock Holmes! All just a short distance from the hustle and bustle of world-famous Oxford Street, Regents Park and Hyde Park.
The five-storey townhouse, once owned by Jane Austen’s brother Henry, can comfortably accommodate up to fourteen guests across its seven beautifully-appointed bedrooms. The home has been designed with incredible attention to detail, a glamorous re-imaging of the Regency period, taking inspiration from Henry and Eliza’s reported life at the house and as part of wider London society.
Austen House makes a wonderful setting for a family celebration or reunion of friends, the living areas are ideal for socialising and entertaining, enjoy afternoon tea in Jane’s Sitting Room while M Halavant’s Pantry is ideal for private dinners. The seven elegant bedrooms, all individually designed and featuring either super-king, double or twin beds, are split across the four levels and each feature en-suite facilities.
What you should know…
- Due to the character of the home, the bedrooms are set over multiple levels which may not suit all groups
- One of the bedrooms features twin beds and is therefore better suited to friends or siblings sharing

Spectacular!
Simply spectacular. It was like staying in an amazing art gallery, historical monument and Willy Wonka’s house all in one. The rooms were wonderfully appointed and Ann was our amazing butler and now our friend. Full breakfast at the farm table every morning. And a super cute small street on with end of our street boasting fun pubs and yummy eateries. It would be hard to find a more fun and unique place to live temporarily in London for groups big and small. Highest recommendation.
