Nice to haves

With a fabulous location in Kensington and a stylish interior that'll make you feel right at home, this apartment is comfortable and bright. Set over two floors, it's all about modern furnishings and geometric patterns. We love the living room, with its twin sash windows and cosy lime green sofas, along with the contemporary kitchen with everything you'll need for cooking at home and a smart dining table. Upstairs, each bedroom comes with a luxurious ensuite and there are views across the rooftops. With two tube stations within a five-walk, it's easy to get around the city from here, but if you're staying a little closer to home there are all sorts of great places to eat and drink on your doorstep. And The Natural History Museum, Royal Albert Hall and Kensington Palace are within walking distance.

Situated in affluent South Kensington, boarded by Knightsbridge, Chelsea, Notting Hill and Hyde Park, this effortlessly chic apartment is the perfect place to unwind at the end of a busy day wandering museums, cobbled streets and royal palaces. Inside, there's a real warmth with soft brown tones, dark wood flooring and vintage-style wallpaper. Through to the bedroom, where you'll find more bold choices when it comes to colours and prints. 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.

Located in Kensington – just a stone’s throw from the River Thames – this elegantly dressed apartment is an ideal base for a solo traveller or couple looking to be within walking distance of Kensington Palace, Hyde Park and Royal Albert Hall. It’s not just its prime locale that caught our eye, though. And though you’ve got plenty of restaurant options on your doorstep, the alfresco dining area makes for a great summer spot – especially if you’ve picked up your grocery selection at Whole Foods around the corner – do keep in mind you’ll need to climb the ladder up.

London Is Yours

Balcony

Is there anything more charming than a London mews? We don't think so, and this home near Holland Park is both pretty and practical. It's an easy walk from the Tube and Notting Hill, yet tucked away from the city centre's hustle and bustle. Inside, you'll find a contemporary living area, a double-height dining area, and a sleek kitchen with all the essentials. Two of the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, while the third is in the converted garage and has a single daybed best suited to children. To top it all off, a quaint balcony is the perfect perch to admire the cobbled streets below, a glass of wine in hand.

Nestled on a cobbled mews near Holland Park, this home makes an excellent place for friends to get together. The patio has alfresco aperitifs written all over it – it'll be a real bonus during the summer months. Inside, the bright living area is another great spot to unwind, though if you need some time to yourself, the two en-suite bedrooms are equally as comfortable. Factor in the dedicated workspace upstairs, the soaker bath in the main bedroom, and the proximity to Notting Hill, and it's no surprise it caught our eye.

Hyde Park, Royal Albert Hall, Kensington Palace, and Kensington High Street station are all just a short stroll away, making exploring a cinch. The decor inside matches the chic location – think ornamental fireplaces, a bright living area, and a well-appointed kitchen should you need to rustle up dinner at home. With the option to arrange the second bedroom as two singles or a double, it's also super flexible for families – though it's worth noting that this home is only suitable for children 8 years old and above.

Red Brick Wonderland

Situated on the ever appealing Kensington High Street, this two-bedroom apartment marries a premium location with good space and home comforts. Just a stone's throw from the Design Museum and the verdant squirrel haven of Holland Park, guests will have plenty to explore in the affluent local area, while the nearby District and Circle Line station offers excellent underground routes around Central London. While the bathroom is located across the apartment from the bedrooms, meaning you might have to skitter through the living room after your shower, there's lots to like about this brightly lit home that's ideal for couples on a double date city break.

The Kensingtonian

Me & You

Wellness & Fitness

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. When you’re not sitting pretty in your chic home, go out and explore your prestigious surroundings. Aside from the Museum Mile a stone’s throw away, you’ve got Little France on your front step with Bute Street (three minutes away on foot) offering plenty of French cafes, bakeries and book shops as well as the Institut Français (five minutes away) where French film screenings and cultural events take place year-round. Knightsbridge is also just a twenty-minute walk from your home, for a spot of retail therapy at the iconic Harrods department store and some of the city’s swankiest restaurants.

Science & Nature

This snug studio is tailor-made for solo travellers or couples looking to explore the charm and charisma of London. The home is just a three-minute walk from Earls Court, giving you easy access to the major attractions around London. 

Famed for having numerous underground trains pass through at the same time, Earls Court is perfect if you have an active itinerary. Head central to the galleries, museums and shops in the centre, stopping off at the cafes for a coffee and a sandwich. 

Travel further east and you'll discover Southbank and the iconic Tower Bridge. If you visit in the summer, Southbank is a dreamy spot to take a wholesome walk, illuminated by the sun shining off the River Thames.

However you spend your day in the big smoke, your cosy studio is a restful haven to rest any weary legs. Curl up on the bed with a film or series on the TV, or sit at the cute blue table with a craft beer before you rest your head.
