13 Princelet Street

Spitalfields, London, El

Thank you for booking this Landmark and we hope that you enjoy your stay here. The income we receive from your booking pays for the repair and maintenance of the building, thus allowing us to preserve it for the enjoyment of those who follow you.

To arrange to get into the Landmark, it is very important that you call the Housekeeper AT LEAST TWO DAYS before you are due to arrive. She is Mrs Patricia Lloyd, 6 Portland Close, Hythe, telephone 01303 268705 or Mobile 07724 117784. Early evening is generally the best time to call.

Please do not arrive before 4pm on the first day of your booking. The Housekeeper will have prepared Princelet Street for you, and we hope and expect that you will leave it as clean and tidy as you can when you leave. On the last day PLEASE BE SURE THAT YOU HAVE LEFT THE BUILDING ENTIRELY BEFORE 10am, leaving it secure and returning the key on departure. If you do not leave on time, this makes the Housekeeper's task extremely difficult. If you leave on an earlier day, please let her know.

13 Princelet Street (OS map reference T0338818, Postcode E1 60H), is situated in Spitalfields just east of the City of London.

To reach Princelet Street from Liverpool Street Station, go north up Bishopsgate and turn right into Brushfield Street. Continue to the far end and cross over Commercial Street into Fournier Street. Take the first left into Wilkes Street and then first right into Princelet Street. No. 13 is half way down on the left hand side and has dark red paintwork. For vehicular access go north up Commercial Street. At the traffic lights turn right by the Golden Heart Public House into Hanbury Street. Take the first right onto Wilkes Street and first left into Princelet Street.

Parking: There are two public car parks. One can be found by turning left at the top of Princelet Street into Brick Lane. The car park is on the right. The second is on Hanbury Street, turning second left down Hanbury St heading towards Brick Lane.

Public Transport: Liverpool Street railway station is about 800 yards away from Princelet Street and is served by the Circle, Metropolitan, Hammersmith & City and Central tube lines. Public transport leaflets are in the property.

Princelet Street has three bedrooms - a double on the first floor and twin beds in the basement and on the second floor. Please contact the Housekeeper if you will need the folding cot. This is suitable for children up to two years old; we provide a mattress but no bedding.

The house has gas-fired central heating. There is a gas cooker. The cost of fuel for heating and cooking is included in the price, but please use this sparingly to keep our costs (and prices) down.

Dogs, birds or other animals, are not permitted at this Landmark. Please do not allow them into the building, as this might cause serious health problems for asthma sufferers who come after you.

There is enough crockery and cutlery for two extra people. However, the building must not be used to entertain others beyond that number, and the number sleeping in it should never exceed six.

We provide sheets, pillowcases, towels, tea towels, and blankets. An equipment list is attached.

Our buildings were made to the standards of earlier ages, often without the intention that they should be lived in. Consequently, you may encounter features that reflect their particular characteristics, but which deserve due care and attention, particularly for the young, elderly, less mobile or visually impaired. Examples of these are steps worn with age or with narrow treads, uneven surfaces, low doors, ceilings and beams, unexpected drops and changes of level, and (by modern standards) low or absent lighting. In all cases we have sought to make a sensible compromise between due regard for safety and the careful retention of the character of each building, which makes it an interesting place to stay.

Even familiar things, for example; polished floors and stairs, hot water temperature, open fires and hot stoves, can differ from home and so surprise the unwary, particularly the very young. We ask you to appreciate and use the building in the same spirit of care, and recommend you read the Information and Advice folder on arrival, to familiarise yourself with the building and its surroundings.

The 'Information & Advice' folder in the Landmark gives essential information about the building and local amenities, including shops for provisions. The nearest Tourist Information Centre is in Liverpool Street Station.

Landmarks do not have postal deliveries, and mail sent to them may not reach you.

In an emergency you may call our Regional Manager Ms Shirley Stewart telephone 01732 451433 or Mobile 0777 5842332. In exceptional circumstances urgent messages may be left with the Housekeeper, but please do not ask our staff to do this otherwise, since they may live several miles away.

Please be appreciative of neighbours and anyone else you meet, since they may have to coexist with Landmark visitors 365 days a year!

We hope you enjoy your stay.

There are two spare sets of keys in the house, but please ensure that these are left there at the end of your stay.

The largest Landmarks may have more than this. We provide crockery, cutlery and glasses for as many people as there are beds, plus two further sets in case you invite others for a meal. If you need fuel for fires or stoves, please ask the Housekeeper in advance how you can obtain this.

The beds will be made up with sheets and pillowcases (duvets on bunk beds).

There will normally be two no-allergic pillows per person and three blankets for each bed. If there is a cot (see overleaf}, there will be a mattress but no bedding.

We provide one hand towel and one bath towel (these are bath towels, not the larger 'bath sheets') for as many people as there are beds. There will be a limited supply of tea towels (drying-up cloths), but you may wish to bring more.

Please let the Housekeeper know about any breakage's, or if anything is missing or goes wrong during your stay. She may well be able to solve a problem quickly.

There is a green Log Book in which you can record your visit and pass on to future visitors anything of interest you have discovered in the area or in the building.

If you have any comments on anything to do with the Landmark, please send us the Comments and Suggestions Form from the green folder (don't write them in the Logbook, which we won't see).
