Your home-from-home, is elegantly furnished with antique furniture, original paintings and comfy beds. Our guests say that the experience of staying in this charming home is a highlight of their stay in London. 'Chalkley's' accomodates 4 guests and so is ideal for a family of four or for two couples. There are two double, en-suite bedrooms, an elegant living room, spacious dining room & kitchen. Modern kitchen facilities make it ideal for self-catering holidays. The nearby 'Deli-on-the-Green' and 'The Larder' make food buying a pleasure rather than a chore . The apartment can be rented in a one bedroom format, suitable for 2 guests (sharing a bedroom), at a discounted rent.

The apartment is named after the Chalkley family who ran the Bakery for four generations.

THE STABLES:

This cosy, romantic cottage is situated in the secluded walled garden of The Old Bakery, with direct gated access to the street and to Winchmore Hill Green. It consists of a living/dining room, kitchen, shower-room and double bedroom in the eaves. The Stables have their own patio area where out guests enjoy breakfasts among the flowers and romantic evening drinks. .

Winchmore Hill is a delightful and safe area of London, popular with Londoners because of its excellent, fast train links to the West End and City centre. It was in 1871, when the railway came to Winchmore Hill, that a sleepy village became a commuter suburb of London and prosperous City workers built new homes in streets around the ancient village Green. The Old Bakery is close to the station, just two minutes' walk. The nearby shops, 'Deli-on-the-Green' and 'The Larder', make food buying a pleasure rather than a chore. If you wish to eat out, there are high quality restaurants, cafes and pubs nearby. There is also a large supermarket a short walk from the Old Bakery.

Self-catering accommodation at The Old Bakery offers you a more relaxing and more economical option to hotels. At The Old Bakery, you have your own home-from-home where you can enjoy the beautiful surroundings before and after your day's site-seeing in the centre of London.

This is a family-run business. We pride ourselves on our personal service and friendly welcome to all our guests. We enjoy sharing the beauty of this historic building with you.

The village origins of Winchmore Hill (first mentioned in the history books in the 14th century as a village on the route to the Royal Hunting Forest) still reveal themselves in the historic buildings around The Green, and in a friendly community atmosphere, unusual in a capital City like London.

OUR HISTORY:

The Old Bakery is believed to have begun life in about 1595AD as a village hall with central huge fireplace and vaulted ceiling, before becoming, first, a farmhouse, then, in 1822AD, the village Bakehouse, and finally a private home . The Bakery was run for many years by Quakers and Winchmore Hill was an historic a centre of early Quakerism. The nearby Quaker Meeting House is still in use, surrounded by a beautiful garden.
