Cannizaro House
Wimbledon

Where? Wimbledon, London

Why? The Cannizaro House Slumber Party to celebrate the opening of the new conservatory.

When? May 2013

Companions? My friend Lucy and various members of press and travel bloggers. We were all invited to sample a night at the beautiful 300 year old estate on the edge of Wimbledon Common.

Best time to go? The house has stunning grounds and the new conservatory serves afternoon tea all year round. Cannizaro House is also around the corner from the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championship courts. If you don’t need to stay overnight, pop in for the pre-match lunch, champagne and strawberries, then get chauffeured to the games afterwards.

The Tulip Garden

Cannizaro House has just recently undergone a £3 million refurb. Adding an incredible glass loggia or conservatory to the back of the property. It’s the perfect spot for a pre dinner aperitif. We drank prosecco accompanied by oysters, charcuteries and cheeses, overlooking the emerald lawns and grounds.

Sinead, me and Lucy get on the margaritas early!

And so to bed…

Early start the next day and a bit of a margarita head, but luckily breakfast was served in the dining room, overlooking the stunning tulip garden. A Full English and a beautiful view make for the best hangover cure.
