Guest house on a prestigious North London road with free parking and a large private garden
Amenities & Grounds
The Bishop Retreat sits on one of the most prestigious roads in North London, often referred to as billionaires row. The property offers free off-road parking on an extensive front driveway, a rare find in London. Guests have access to a large secure grassed garden that includes a children's play frame with slide and swings, plus a bi-fold door that opens onto a decked area.
Rooms
The family room downstairs contains two double beds with high-quality mattresses and a separate single room. Each suite comes with a walk-in shower and a WC with matching double sinks, plus bi-fold doors that lead directly to the garden decking. Some rooms feature a luxurious roll-top bath for soaking after a long day of travel.
Location
The guest house is a 5-minute walk from East Finchley tube station, which provides a 10-minute ride to Camden Town. Major London landmarks within 6 km include Emirates Stadium, Camden Market, and London Zoo. King's Cross Station is 8.6 km away, and London Heathrow Airport is 30 km from the property.
Dining & Hospitality
The property maintains a huge shared kitchen and breakfast bar where hosts provide continental breads, pastries, fruits, yoghurts, fresh juices, snacks, and sweets for children. The management team checks in daily, bringing fresh milk and bread and offering to pick up any items from the shops or provide fresh towels and bedding. This level of attentive service is reflected in guest comments about the brilliant communication and constant presence of managers Mike, Shaf, and Mo.
Family-Friendly
The large secure garden includes a play frame with slide and swings, giving children a safe outdoor space to play. Breakfast items provided for kids include snacks and sweets, and the management asks if families need anything from the shops. The family room sleeps up to five with two double beds and a single bed, all in a private suite with direct garden access.

“This establishment offers genuinely spacious rooms and comfortable accommodations, a notable plus. The convenience of on-site parking is a practical advantage, and the garden space provides a pleasant escape. For those attending events, the arranged transport is a thoughtful touch that simplifies attending local concerts.”
Julian PineEditor, Uklondon
