Cosy and compact but still packing a punch, this Knightsbridge pad is perfect for a couple’s retreat in the city. And, while you’ll find all the essentials for a relaxing stay here, it’s the location that made us sit up and take notice.

Design hounds will purr at this apartment’s unusual furniture, funky flooring and clever interior touches. All of those quirks blend seamlessly with modern luxuries like a huge walk-in shower. Our favourite hangout, however, was the south-facing balcony – perfect for reading the morning papers with a coffee on sunny mornings. And while the location on a semi-main road brings some slight traffic noise, you'll love being within strolling distance of glamorous King’s Road and cool museums like the V&A.

With its unparalleled location in the heart of South Kensington, this elegant home is the perfect base for a couple or solo traveller looking to experience some of the city’s greatest cultural gems. A four-minute walk from the Natural History Museum and a seven-minute stroll from both the Science Museum and the V&A, you’ll have a world of science, nature and art at arm’s reach here. Housed in a neoclassical building dating back to the 1870s, luxury meets comfort inside the apartment with tall ceilings, chandeliers, sophisticated furnishings and a neutral palette creating an instantly dazzling impression. We love the French doors in the living room that open out onto a private balcony, perfect for starting your mornings off over coffee while taking in leafy views. The bedroom, too, has floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors, allowing plenty of natural light to pour in, while the master bathroom offers an inviting Jacuzzi bath to relax in after a day of sightseeing.

We love the classic look, with baby pink decor and draping curtains ensuring a restful sleep whenever you decide to call it a night. If business is on the agenda, you'll find a dedicated workspace in the living room for client catch-ups and calls. Fix together a hearty breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen, before mapping out a plan for the day. When you are ready to explore, Hyde Park, just twenty minutes away, is a lovely space to wander after a day spent shopping. Or look around the National History and V&A museums, a thirteen-minute walk from your door, for an afternoon of art and culture. Whatever you choose to fill your day doing, bookmark it with a totter into town and an evening of fine-dining in Covent Garden, less than a twenty-minute tube ride away.

Spread across three floors, there are two living rooms so the family can spread out – one for entertaining by the fireplace, and one for reclining in front of the big TV. For a quiet moment, a small office space in the base is secluded away from the rest of the house. There’s plenty of room for the bustle of breakfast time in the big kitchen. A wall of mirrors gives a good sense of space in the formal dining room inside, while the woven wooden walls around the outdoor terrace offer a bit of privacy should you wish to dine alfresco.

A great pick for a small family or friends sharing, there’s heaps of space to spill out in the vast living area – or take things outside onto the terrace when the sun shines for evening drinks. If we’re being fussy, the bedrooms aren’t huge, but it’s a fair trade-off for such a sought-after spot. You're moments from upmarket boutiques and restaurants, and the Thames is a short walk away for a sunset stroll. Rather hop on the tube for sightseeing or work meetings? Fulham Broadway tube station is only 12 minutes away on foot.

Polished Vista

With Chelsea Physic Garden around the corner and King’s Road just a short stroll away, this is a home to settle into slowly, and leave reluctantly.

The Redbrick Retreat

Enjoying a prestigious address in the heart of the upmarket West London borough of Chelsea, this ground-floor apartment places you close to Sloane Square and Kings Road – two of the capital's most exclusive shopping and dining destinations.

With its vast south-facing bay windows, the elegant living room and kitchen combo is blessed with plenty of sunlight throughout the day. Comfortable seating, a gorgeous glass-topped dining table and a gleaming marble kitchen make this multipurpose space the heart of the home. Elsewhere, two bedrooms offer a relaxing sanctuary in this quiet, residential area.

A stone's throw from your front door is the exclusive, gated Cadogan Gardens – one of over 600 garden squares dotted throughout London – surrounded by imposing red brick buildings. Meanwhile, a two-minute walk in the opposite direction will see you arrive at the innovative contemporary art space, the Saatchi Gallery. Just a few minutes further on is Sloane Square Tube station, for adventures east to Shoreditch and the area around Liverpool Street Station, or southwest to Putney Bridge.


Lord Chelsea

Steam Room

This striking home is one-of-a-kind. The sprawling townhouse – spread over four floors – is within walking distance of Battersea Park, and just a twenty-minute stroll to the V&A and the Natural History Museum. It’s got everything you might need for a comfortable stay in London, including a shower steam room, a living room bar, and a garden. The main bedroom even has a balcony. A dumb waiter helps you transport meals from the basement kitchen – equipped with instant boil taps and a wine fridge – to the dining space. This is an attractive and practical London home.

Single-Level Home

Live the London dream at this home in Chelsea, which dates back to the Georgian period.

You’ll also be within walking distance of Chelsea Football Club’s stadium – try to catch a London derby – and the River Thames, ideal for a sunset stroll. But the real trick is to spend some time aimlessly wandering the neighbourhood, as you’ll find yourself stumbling across pretty mews houses and verdant garden squares. The home itself feels truly English, thanks to its shelves lined with books, shuttered sash windows and high ceilings.

Understated Opulence

Blender

Welcome Hamper

The more you inspect this period home in South Kensington, the more you realise what a great catch it is. First of all, the interior is unshowy yet discerningly aristocratic, with antique furnishings, original paintings and shelves packed full of books. It all feels classically English, save for the parquet flooring throughout. Somewhat of a coup for London, there's a leafy garden space out through the large glass doors, complete with somewhere to sit for summer evening suppers. And then there's the location, which is nothing short of sensational. You might think that's exaggerating, but you will surely agree when you find out you can walk to the V&A Museum in a little over ten minutes, the critically-acclaimed restaurants of the King's Road in fifteen minutes and the Royal Albert Hall in close to twenty.

You’re just a ten-minute walk from South Kensington and its world-famous museums while leafy Hyde Park is less than thirty minutes away. After a day of exploring, you’ll relish coming home for a long soak in the marble-framed bath, followed by a glass of wine and a meal in the serene dining area. Alternatively, throw on your glad rags for a meal out at one of the city's fine dining spots – you have countless options when it comes to restaurants and bars nearby.
