A little local know-how
A quiet corner. A lot of London.
Parsons Green has a quieter rhythm than much of London. Its leafy streets and Victorian terraces surround the green, where The White Horse has long been a familiar part of the neighbourhood. It's an easy place to settle into, whether you're here for a weekend or staying a little longer. New King's Road has plenty of places worth knowing. Start with a coffee at District on Parsons Green Lane, pick up fresh bread or something for supper at Bayley & Sage, then head to The White Horse for a drink later in the day. If you fancy a walk, Eel Brook Common is nearby. With four Yo's House homes in the area, we're pleased to share a few of our local favourites. Central London is just a Tube journey away, but there's plenty to enjoy without going far.
With love, the Yo’s House team
