Sadly it doesn't come with a stand as the Nest Learning Thermostat does so it can only be wall-mounted. However, as its relatively smaller than most non-smart thermostats, it's likely you'll need an additional trim plate to cover up the holes when installing this model.

It builds on the Nest Thermostat E's white plastic design, by being available in four different colored trims, which complement the shade of the screen. However, the Nest Thermostat E is still available in the UK.

The Google Nest Thermostat was launched in the US in October 2020, and replaced the Google Nest Thermostat E (below) as the brand's more affordable smart thermostat offering. It's expensive too - as you'll need a smart valve for each radiator in your home, however it's worth it for the granular control you get over your heating. The control panel and radiator thermostats aren't going to win any awards for design, coming as they do in plain white plastic, but that's not really the point of the Evohome. What's more, it works with under-floor heating too, so even if you have a large and complicated heating system the Evohome gives you total control over all of it via an app that's a pleasure to use. If you live in a house where different inhabitants prefer a different temperature, or if one room always seems to be hotter or colder than the others, this system is going to be a godsend. It's difficult to grasp what a difference this feature makes until you've tried it for yourself. The Honeywell Evohome gives you total control over your home, with individual thermostats for each radiator enabling you to set an independent heating schedule for every room in your house.
