Dear Santa..

I have been quite good this year and I miss London a lot. Please can I have this amazing home in my favorite city. Just to give you some background, because I know you are interested in these things – It was originally built in 1877 by Fowler and Hill, as part of Lambeth Workhouse and Infirmary (then Lambeth Hospital), the Venetian-Gothic construction has been a landmark for centuries. It was bought by Leigh Osbourne and Graham Voce and turned into the stunning property that you see today. I know it won’t fit in my stocking, so if you could just leave the key and the paperwork that would be fine.

I promise to leave mince pies and port for you every year forever.

Aileen.
