Follow in Joe Strummer's bovver-booted footsteps while staying at this chic and sophisticated top-floor flat in London's sought-after Ladbroke Grove neighbourhood. While The Clash might have mythologised its mean streets back in the late 70s, today it's better known for its colourful houses, tree-lined boulevards and vibrant atmosphere that's popular with locals and tourists alike. 

The area is home to a mix of independent shops, trendy cafes, and delicious international restaurants, making it a food lover's paradise. One of the most famous local landmarks is the iconic Portobello Road Market, a stone's throw from your front door. It's a must-visit destination for anyone interested in antiques, vintage clothing, and unique trinkets. The neighbourhood also offers plenty of green spaces, including the beautiful Kensington Memorial Park and the tranquil Ladbroke Square Garden.

As you enter the flat, you're greeted with an open-plan kitchen and dining area that boasts an expansive skylight, allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the space. Elsewhere, the bedrooms are all generously sized and offer a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city, thanks to the soothing sage green, tranquil blue, and vibrant yellow colour schemes in each of the rooms.

This sleek apartment is situated nearby to the luxurious shopping experience of exploring Harrods, perfect for those wanting a city break. The large windows allow plenty of natural daylight to pour into the home, shining off of the white walls. The double bedroom grants access to the balcony where you can enjoy an energising cup of coffee in the mornings as you watch the world go by down below – this room also includes a TV, making it more tempting than ever to have a relaxing duvet day watching movies as the cool breeze flows in through the balcony door. Tuck into delicious homecooked meals at the glass dining table, followed by snuggling up together on the sofa as the amber glow of the evening lights up the living space.

Head out to explore the charming area of Knightsbridge, where you'll find beautiful Victorian homes and upscale shops such as the famous Harrods where you can browse the wares and find tasty food to enjoy back at home. Wander the streets of Knightsbridge to discover even more high streets stores and eateries.

This Paddington apartment has space to work from home and excellent transport links across the city. It's a great find for business travellers, though families and friend groups will also feel right at home. Keep in mind that the living space is on the smaller side, and it's on the third floor of a building without a lift. Even so, given the location – a five-minute walk from Paddington Station and twenty minutes from Hyde Park – we think that's a fair compromise.

Not only does this home have an enviable postcode in London’s famous Notting Hill neighbourhood, but it’s in a classic white-columned townhouse typical of the area too. Rare for this part of London, there are two private roof terraces and two balconies lined with classic wrought-iron railings, so you can enjoy meals outside and cocktails overlooking the leafy green street below. Inside, you’ve got high ceilings and long French windows leading to the outdoor spaces from every room. The decor is modern and plush, with faux fur blankets draped across tufted velvet sofas and ottomans. The main bedroom in cherry-blossom pink has a bed fit for royalty, and French windows opening out onto a private balcony with a suspended egg chair. Then there are the little details, like the mezzanine snug for family movie nights and laptop-friendly desks in both bedrooms.

In terms of location, you’re a ten-minute walk from the antique stalls of the famous Portobello Road. While restaurant-lined Westbourne Grove with its fine-dining establishments and trendy eateries galore is just five minutes away on foot. For a bit of greenery, the sprawling expanse of Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park is a fifteen-minute stroll away too.

Paid Parking On Premises

Close to upmarket Kensington and bohemian Notting Hill is the charming area of Brook Green. Known for its village atmosphere, period architecture and excellent transport links (Hammersmith, Goldhawk Road and Shepherds Bush stations are all within walking distance), this pocket of West London suits families, business travellers and those craving a quieter neighbourhood. Yet it's still close to excellent restaurants, cosy gastropubs, green spaces and plenty of shopping, with Westfield London (fifteen-minute stroll), Kensington High Street (twenty-minute walk) and Holland Park (thirty minutes on foot) all just a stone's throw away. This bright apartment in a picturesque mansion is the perfect place to rest your feet and recharge after a long day exploring. The fully-stocked kitchen has everything you'll need to rustle up a meal, while the cosy living area has a comfortable sofa, Freeview channels and DVD player for chilled nights at home. There's also a desk if you need to do some remote working, though we'd probably get distracted watching the world pass by outside the window. But our favourite feature is the sumptuous rolltop bath. We can't think of a better way to end the day than with a glass of wine, a good book and a relaxing soak. Pure bliss.

The Wandering Scholar

If you’re looking to stay in one of London’s most sought-after areas, this cosy home in Kensington offers a perfect base for exploring nearby museums, parks, and royal landmarks. While it may be compact, it’s comfortable for up to four guests, featuring an open-plan living area and a well-equipped kitchen. If you’re travelling with little ones, you’re just a short walk from the iconic Natural History Museum and Science Museum, ideal for a fun family day out. With two stations nearby, you’ll have no trouble exploring the rest of London’s attractions.

Kensington Palace

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. Within walking distance you’ll find Harrods for a spot of retail therapy, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Natural History Museum and Royal Albert Hall for a touch of culture, and Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens for a splash of outdoor scenery – what more could you want?

On the prettiest street imaginable, this luxurious home allows families to live the West London dream in the heart of Chelsea. You’re moments away from galleries, boutiques and trendy restaurants as King’s Road is a one-minute walk. 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. 

Prince Luxe

A sophisticated base for a London stay, this Belgravia mews house has it all. Staying here, you can feel at home amid the elegant but comfortable decor, whether you’re cooking in the high-spec kitchen, dozing peacefully in the oh-so-comfortable bedrooms, or lounging in the plush living room, where guests nine and ten will sleep on sofa beds. The best of London is right on the doorstep, with Hyde Park just ten minutes away, the V&A a mere eighteen-minute stroll, and shops galore – you need only walk twelve minutes to reach Harrods. This is the perfect urban retreat.

Based in a glorious neo-Gothic building on the grounds of the Fulham Cemetery, and next to a pretty moat, this home has origins dating back to 1865. Walking into this home, you will truly feel like you’ve stepped foot in an interior design magazine. The lounge is sleek and elegant, with cool blues, wooden beams, and tonnes of light from the French doors that lead out to the garden. Perfect for the family or a gathering with friends, the home is a sociable space with a chic dining table for entertaining and beautiful meals after packed days out exploring London. Unwind in the indoor swimming pool or sauna and detox in the shower for a truly unique experience that closely resembles a boutique hotel. Enjoy drinks in the dreamy courtyard before heading out for an evening on the town. 

The Moat

Modern and bright, this apartment in the heart of Kensington is only minutes from London's beloved Hyde Park. You're also in close proximity to Notting Hill and some of the city's best museums. Plus, the nearby transport links can get you wherever else you want to go. So with a big tick on location, what else is on offer here? Well, the flat also isn't all that bad to look at. Plus, from its position above a pharmacy on the high street, the snug balcony lets you look out over the streets of this affluent neighbourhood. 

Elegant Haven

This regal apartment situated in the heart of London’s elegant Holland Park is a rare gem, offering its guests a chance to stay in one of the most desirable areas of the capital. And while there’s plenty to explore in the vicinity, we won’t blame you if you find it hard to pull yourself away from your urban abode. 

Spread across two floors, the place offers both minimalist simplicity and carefully designed finesse, seamlessly blending together to create a warm and welcoming interior. We love the light-filled living room, with its plush sofas, gorgeous bookshelves and unique art pieces scattered about. Snuggle up and enjoy a relaxing evening of movies and wine in the company of your loved ones. 

You’ll be able to put together tasty meals in the modern kitchen and share them at the small dining table – that is unless you decide to head out and try one of the countless fantastic restaurants in the area. 

Get a good night’s sleep in the comfy bedrooms and wake up feeling gloriously refreshed and ready to head out and experience London living. With Notting Hill and Kensington just a short distance away, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to iconic sights and exciting city attractions to explore. 

The Sleeping Prince 

You’ll be striding through bustling Notting Hill in no time at this smart apartment set just a three-minute walk from Notting Hill Gate Tube Station. Take your pick from Portobello Market, Kensington Gardens or Notting Hill Farmers Market – it’s all just a short stroll away. With a private entrance and suntrap patio to call your own, it’s easy to see why this Victorian townhouse apartment caught our eye. It’s worth noting that if six of you share, the last two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the lounge. Not ideal for some, but if you’re a family looking for a bolthole in the city, this could be it.

Portobello

This mews home is only a five-minute walk to Ladbroke Grove Underground Station, so many of London's major landmarks are easily accessible. Located in Notting Hill, you'll be just a few steps away from Portobello Road's daily market and restaurants. Save some energy for getting around this home, though, as it's set out over three floors. In fact there are two staircases in this house, both of which are narrow and steep, so this place won't appeal to guests with limited mobility. We do like that this abode has a first-floor balcony perfect for enjoying a glass of fizz, and both bedrooms are en-suite.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

The Portobello Rose

With its all-white interior design and tranquil views of Inverness Terrace, White Doves is a peaceful home. A beautiful Bayswater sanctuary (just steps away from Hyde Park), it’s one of those places that you look forward to coming home to at the end of a long day of sightseeing. We can’t get over all the period features – the picture-perfect crown moulding and the charming windows being our favourite parts. On top of that, Jane is also a wonderful host, who’s put a lot of care into designing a seamless space filled with a welcoming atmosphere.

White Doves

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is one of the most – if not the most – desirable areas of the capital, and this apartment puts you right at the heart of this swanky slice of the city. It's located on the first floor of a traditional London townhouse, nestled on a tranquil, tree-lined avenue that's just around the corner from bustling Sloane Square. The home wears its Victorian history with pride – inside, you'll find tall windows, high moulded ceilings and a decorative fireplace to remind you of days gone by. The marble bathroom adds another hint of luxury, and the kitchen is ideal for cooking dinner with fresh ingredients from one of the local artisan markets. Exploring on foot is easy from here, with many of the famous museums within walking distance, and plenty of upmarket restaurants and boutiques to enjoy. And, with a Tube station just a minute's walk away, getting around the rest of the city is smooth sailing.

Find respite in central London with a memorable stay in this penthouse overlooking Hyde Park. The interiors strike a careful balance between opulence and comfort. There’s an impressive circular living space, with an eye-catching chandelier and plush sofas for putting your feet up with a cup of tea at the end of an eventful day of sightseeing. Take in the acres of greenery from your private balcony – we think the views are best accompanied by a gin and tonic as the sun starts to set. Additional touches such as a daily cleaning service and an around the clock concierge make this place feel extra special. All that’s left to do then, is explore. You’re footsteps from Lancaster Gate tube station, connecting you with all four corners of the city, and Mayfair’s delectable selection of bars and restaurants lie a swift ten-minute cab ride away.

You're also close to two Tube stations, plus an array of  trendy cafes, eateries, and boutiques here.

This striking home is one-of-a-kind.

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.

Battersea Hideaway

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.

Effortlessly cool and beautifully bright, this apartment in Ladbroke Grove offers a calm retreat from the vibrancy of the city outside. We love the focus on wood in the decor that gives the open-plan living area a modern vintage vibe, along with the industrial pendant lighting and freestanding spotlight. Warm tones combine with cool neutral shades in the furnishings to create a striking contrast, while light streams in from the large glass doors that open out onto a private patio garden. 

This outdoor space is where you’ll want to start mornings with sunny breakfasts over chats about the day’s activities, or end evenings with a celebratory alfresco barbecue before curling up on the sofa with your favourite streaming service. 

When it’s time for bed, you’ll find the large comfy beds waiting to drift you into a peaceful night’s sleep with the promise of a relaxing wake-up courtesy of the bathroom’s luxurious rainfall shower.

As for exploring nearby, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to cute coffee shops, cosy gastro pubs and independent boutiques galore. Explore Portobello Road Market’s rows of antique stalls (an eight-minute walk away), stroll in the footsteps of your favourite rom-com characters from Love Actually in St Lukes Mews (a thirteen-minute walk), and enjoy an afternoon amble through leafy Holland Park, twenty-five minutes away on foot. 


Ivy & Light

This Chelsea apartment has style and substance. It’s modern and stylish, with plenty of natural light and a comfortable, attractive open-plan living, kitchen, and dining space. You’ll also have your own private outside space, perfect for relaxing on summer evenings.

Belgravian Grace

Discover Notting Hill from this fuss-free apartment. Vintage shops, trendy eateries, and the famous Portobello Road Market are all within walking distance, as is a Tube station when you fancy exploring further afield. It's on the lower ground floor, so though it lacks a bit of natural light, the open-plan design works well for groups. There's a sleek (albeit compact) kitchen, a main suite with a desk for remote working, and a second bedroom that can be arranged with twin beds or a double to suit your needs. Guests five and six will sleep on a sofa bed – a fair compromise for this central location.

Portobello Peregrine

But, inside, you’ll find a haven of modernity awaits, starting with the striking blue artwork in the living room and finishing off with every appliance and gizmo you need for self-catering in the kitchen. Though the raw wood beam above the fireplace adds a bit of rustic charm. Each bedroom is a plush medley of burgundy velvet comforters and dove-grey walls to lull you off to sleep. 

Star Signs

Immersed in the Notting Hill vibe, this apartment is within minutes of Portobello Market and the brunch paradise along Westbourne Grove. The facade is typical of West London on a tree-lined street, and inside it’s a romantic retreat perfect for a couple or solo traveller. Book-filled shelves surround the sofa in the living room, where the sash windows throw beams of sunlight across this cosy reading nook. The home has been decorated to perfection, with magenta and rose-red, velvety accents against a deep grey backdrop in the bedroom. The kitchen is compact, and comes stocked with basic groceries, but since the restaurants, brunch spots and cafés of Notting Hill are mere footsteps away you may not need to fire up the cooker. Though the fresh produce markets might tempt you into cooking.
