Baden-Powell House

Our venue for the weekend is the internationally renowned Baden-Powell House, built as a tribute to Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting. The award winning accommodation (Visit Britain Hostel Award 2007) is managed by Meinenger hotels, and we have exclusive use of the building for the duration of the event.

Location is everything, and Baden Powell House certainly has that. It is set in the prestigious Kensington area of West London, and is an easy walk from Gloucester Road and South Kensington tube stations. Kensington is the museum district of London, and the venue is just a dinosaurs stride or two away from the Natural History museum. Central London and the sights are just a handful of tube stops to the east.

All rooms have been recently refurbished, and have double glazing, air conditioning, and en-suite facilities (except for the 6th floor which we have offered to Wills and Kate as a honeymoon suite). Chill out in the atrium café, browse the Baden-Powell exhibition and memorabilia or enjoy the rooftop garden. We are sure that you will enjoy your stay.

South Kensington

Kensington is an affluent area of West London. It lies in London transport travel card zone one, and enjoys fast transport links to the heart of London.

There is much to attract the hasher to this area. Green areas within easy reach include Kensington Gardens (shown), Holland Park, and the extensive Hyde Park. At street level the historic and affluent nature of the area has resulted in an abundance of rich architecture, proud statues, and hidden mementos to the yellowing pages of history.

Of course we will not be restricting the fun just to the Kensington area. We can give you a hashers eye view of everything that makes London a top class hashing location.
