This classic, elegant apartment is housed in a quiet Art Deco building in Old Chelsea. From its third-floor vantage point, you can enjoy views over SW3 – this home has plenty of wide, light-filled windows. You’ll have everything you need for a comfortable stay, with a well-equipped kitchen and three peaceful bedrooms. There are excellent transport links and you’ll be just minutes from Kings Road, Belgravia, and the Thames. Battersea Power Station is also close by and is a great spot for a bite to eat.

This chic apartment matches its Knightsbridge location perfectly. You'll be just a short walk from Harrods, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Hyde Park, and well-connected Tube stations – if that's not central, we don't know what is. It's set on the ground and lower-ground floors of a Georgian townhouse, so expect original features like bay windows and cornice ceilings. Topping it all off is the private terrace – just the spot for a cup of tea in the sunshine.

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.

Behind a perfect white gate is a garden path teeming with flora and fauna leading to the front door of this bright and spacious home. With an entire open-plan ground floor, there is plenty of space for everyone in your group. 

This is the owner's own home so you will find it full of her interesting furniture, artwork, soft furnishings and antiques from her travels - a really personal and characterful home. 

The ground floor is fully open plan so great for families or groups to be altogether whilst cooking, dining and enjoying the living area. Situated next to a public tennis court in Kensington Memorial Park and just 15 min walk to Portobello Road Market - the perfect location for independent cafes, pubs and restaurants.

Safe

Designed to an impeccable standard with a vibrant colour palette, this is a high-end, unique home in West London’s leafy Ladbroke Grove. The bright velvet sofas in the communal area provide a vintage feel to the space and lovers of modernism will appreciate the impressive art pieces displayed throughout the home. Outside, there’s a brilliant blue patio that adds a great sense of light to its adjoining rooms – it also makes for an excellent spot to sip your morning coffee. When you’re not cooking up something tasty in the pink painted kitchen, you’ll be brunching in Notting Hill’s chic cafes, a ten-minute walk away – or dining on Michelin star cuisine in well-to-do Mayfair, reached in twenty minutes by car. The famous Portobello Road Market is less than a fifteen-minute stroll from your doorstep and Ladbroke Grove tube station, connecting you to all four corners of the capital, is reached in a mere ten minutes on foot.

Colourful Connoisseur

Balcony

Elegant and sublimely modern, this bright apartment in Chelsea features a beautifully curated interior design and plenty of natural light. Pops of colour in the living room’s cushions and abstract art add a dash of fun to the sophisticated furnishings, while two sets of French doors open up to let the breeze flow through freely. We love that one set of doors opens onto a wrought-iron balcony, a quintessential Kensington touch and makes for an ideal spot for breakfast or sundowners. With a comfortable, pared-back bedroom and a luxurious rainfall shower to wake up to, you’ll feel recharged and ready for a day of sightseeing. Walk seven minutes to shop along the famous King’s Road, or stroll twenty minutes to visit South Kensington’s world-class museums. With plenty of restaurants, bars and boutiques in your neighbourhood too, you’ll want for nothing when it comes to fun and entertainment.

Set in an elegant Kensington Olympia neighbourhood, this home is an ideal base for families keen to visit London yet stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Scattered with homely touches throughout, there’s even a charming study here, perfect for those needing to catch up on work during their stay. But, the cherry on the cake for us is the outdoor space. The private pool, a rarity in London, is just the ticket for cooling off and simply unwinding in the summer months. And if it’s more fresh air you fancy, you can reach Holland Park in ten minutes on foot, or Hyde Park in fifteen.

Subtle Splendour

Positioned in an enviable location, a 2-minute stroll from Hyde Park, this lovely white stucco-fronted apartment has easy access to Little Venice canals and Paddington Station. A leisurely walk across the expansive greenery of Hyde Park takes you to the myriad museums of South Kensington – the V&A, Natural History, and Science Museum. There are plenty of chic eateries, bars and cafés on your doorstep, but the natural minimalism and calming interior of this apartment might invite you to spend an evening in. Raw wood accents and houseplants brighten up the pristine white walls. The dining table sits in a sunny bay window, offering the perfect spot for breakfast before a big day out. Just off the master bedroom, French doors open up to a tiny, flower-filled balcony with a couple of bistro chairs to take in the sun and a twisting spiral staircase that leads to a shared roof terrace – a rarity in central London.

Dionysos

Home Cinema Setup

Spread over three floors, this stylish mews house not only affords you plenty of space but also puts you in a prime position to explore some of the capital’s most celebrated sights, including Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens and Little Venice. The secondary living room downstairs has a cinema set-up – ideal for hosting movie nights – and the large kitchen will suit chefs of the group when you’re not out sampling the local restaurant scene. With a trio of carefully curated bedrooms to boot and a cot on hand should you be travelling with little ones, this home is a great choice for a stress-free city stay. 


The Rose Mews

Rice Maker

Single-Level Home

Portobello Road might be famous for its markets and shops selling antiques and vintage clothing, but this apartment on an adjoining street is all about the here and now. It's found in a new apartment block and there are no renovated period interiors here — just a sleek white kitchen, wooden floors throughout and large floor-to-ceiling windows that invite the sunshine inside. Our favourite feature had to be the balcony with a pleasant view out over a local park, which would be a lovely spot on which to enjoy a late-morning brunch. However, if you don't fancy cooking, the cafes and restaurants of Notting Hill are a ten-minute saunter from your front door. Alternatively, if you're up for a longer walk, you can walk along the canal until you reach Little Venice, which will take you less than an hour.

Welcome Hamper

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. 

The Right Profile

Umbrellas

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

Looking for a West London retreat? This contemporary Maida Vale apartment is the perfect spot. Stroll along the canals of Little Venice or explore Notting Hill’s boutiques, both within walking distance. With excellent transport links nearby, the city's cultural attractions are within easy reach, too. Inside, the space is thoughtfully designed. While one bedroom is on the snug side, it opens onto a charming courtyard – ideal for morning coffee or unwinding after a day out. Whether you’re here for a weekend or a longer stay, this home offers the perfect balance of city buzz and relaxation.

The Maida Vale Hideaway

Nestled between Fulham and Hammersmith, this apartment puts the River Thames at your fingertips. Though tucked away from the hustle and bustle in central London, you'll find pubs, shops, and eateries nearby – plus a Tube station is fifteen minutes away for adventures further afield. The apartment is set over the first and second levels, so there's a decent amount of space to get cosy. Unwind with a book in the living area, rustle up a meal in the kitchen, or relax in the three comfortable bedrooms (one of which is ideal for little ones). The cherry on top is the private garden, the perfect spot to spend summer evenings.

Teal & Velvet

This charming penthouse offers a beautiful blend of traditional and modern styles. Perfect for a family on a London stay, there’s plenty of room for everyone to spread out across the two floors, while the serene bedrooms promise a restful sleep after a busy day of sightseeing. Location-wise, you can enjoy the open green spaces of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, just ten minutes away, or visit one of London’s iconic museums. Fancy a spot of retail therapy? Harrods is a mere seven-minute walk from the apartment, and a must-visit while in London. 


London Tales

You might think that minimalism is easy to get right, but it's not just a case of taking everything away and admiring the emptiness. This apartment in West London shows you how it should be done. The stark white walls and floorboards create a soothing ambience, but it also means that the carefully selected artwork, houseplants and statement furnishings — including an alien-looking chair in the bedroom by designer Tom Dixon — really stand out. Overall, it manages to strike the sought-for balance between artistic coherence and somewhere you can actually feel at home within. The outside of the building is traditionally pretty and part of a charming crescent sat opposite the entrance to Brompton Cemetery, one of the 'Magnificent Seven' built in the nineteenth century. Further afield, there are boutiques and upmarket restaurants on the nearby King's Road, which can be reached in under twenty minutes on foot. For direct trains to central London, Earl's Court underground station is just round the corner, getting you into the city in just fifteen minutes.

Provista

Elegant and bright, this lovely studio apartment in Kensington is an ideal base for a couple or solo business traveller looking for a comfortable stay in one of London’s prettiest neighbourhoods. Though compact, this home packs a decorative punch with a neutral palette offset by soft pink accents and large windows letting ample natural light flow in. Mornings call for coffees at the cosy window-side table and catching up on work at the desk, while nighttimes beckon a peaceful night’s sleep in the wonderfully comfortable bed. When it comes to ways of filling your days, you’ve got plenty to choose from within easy reach. South Kensington’s world-class museums are a ten-minute walk away, Kensington Palace and Gardens are a fifteen-minute stroll and Chelsea is a mere twenty minutes away on foot. 


A Touch Of Pink

Steam Room

Balcony / Patio

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.

Battersea Hideaway

This Japanese inspired apartment provides a calm sanctuary in the heart of Earl's Court. Inside, you’ll find the versatile living room makes it easy to unwind. There’s an office for remote workers and the main bedroom comes with an ensuite bathroom – adding a wonderful sense of privacy. You’ll also be perfectly placed for adventures across the city with West Brompton and Earl’s Court tube stations both just a short walk away. It’s also just a short stroll to Kensington and the nearest restaurants, cafes and shops. 


The Ceremony

Free Parking On Street

Located just a minute’s walk from Oxford Street’s parade of shops, this stylish apartment is the perfect base for those wishing to experience the vibrancy of Central London.  We love how this home mirrors its elegant, upscale surroundings – chic touches like a velvet sofa in the living room and dusky blue floral wallpaper in the hall amp up the luxe feel of this home while natural light streams in from the windows overlooking charming James Street. Pour yourself a glass of wine to enjoy on the balcony or while seated on one of the armchairs – a good book in hand – or gather together for a celebratory feast at the chic dining table. The plush beds with their luxurious bedding are made for sinking into after a long day of work or sightseeing. Unless that is, you'd rather sink into some bubbles first – with large soaking tubs, how could you not? Outside of your home, Hyde Park beckons long afternoon ambles a ten-minute walk away, while the bright lights of the West End promise unforgettable theatre and entertainment, twenty-five minutes on foot from your door.


Bluets

Bathrobes

Courtyard

With a funky modern design and light-filled, open-feeling living spaces, this elegant apartment in the heart of London's trendy Notting Hill area is perfect for those looking to get to grips with one of the city's most quirky (and coolest) neighbourhoods, whilst also enjoying all the home comforts you could need for a relaxing stay. 

The bedrooms, with their simple and calm-inspiring palette of white, feel cosy and chic, providing a restful retreat despite the home's central location. Having awoken on one of the comfortable beds, head to the fashionably decorated living room which boasts its own distinct style to sip a cup of coffee, or take your mug outside and see whether the (unpredictable) London sunshine might make an appearance today.

You'll find yourself just a few minutes' walk away from the famous Portobello Market, where you can pick up anything from fresh fruit and veg, to vintage clothing and sparkling, eclectic jewellery from open-air stalls and retro boutiques. Wander through the colourful streets, admiring the pretty pastel-coloured buildings, and shop 'til you drop (into one of the atmospheric pubs or swanky restaurants for sustenance). 

Notting Is Too Much To Ask

A beautiful home within a striking, period building, this place has the wow factor from the minute you approach the front door. With a desirable location next to Kensington and Chelsea and a grand interior, it's got the sought-after address and the elegant living space all sewn up. Inside, you'll find an impressive double-height living space – painted all-white – with tall, arched windows to one wall. One of the bedrooms is off this level, along with a bathroom, but it's up on the mezzanine floor that the magic happens. With a small but well-equipped kitchen and a dining table overlooking the living room below, it's a real talking point. Just a few minutes walk from Gloucester Road tube station, the whole city is at your fingertips. Stretch your legs and stroll to the Natural History Museum or head into Chelsea for fine dining and world-class shopping.

Set within a traditional mansion building, this colourful and art filled apartment is perfectly positioned for an inspiring city break.

The Artist Collection

Stair Gates

A short walk from London’s iconic Notting Hill neighbourhood, this family-sized apartment offers a stylish and convenient city pad. If you want to hit the market stalls and antique shops of Portobello road it’s a twenty-minute stroll, or head to the nearest Tube station (an eight-minute walk) and be there in three minutes. The outside is in keeping with the bay-windowed, traditional brick homes on the tree-lined street. 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

Wine Cellar

Located in a Georgian building in the heart of Mayfair, just a short stroll away from Hyde Park, this apartment connects you to London's most iconic landmarks. From Oxford Street to Buckingham Palace, sightseeing here is a breeze. Though the dining table doesn't seat the whole group at capacity, there's space in the living room and out on the terrace (a rarity in London). Plus, with so many restaurants on your doorstep, you'll likely be eating out more than in. The home is comfortable and modern, but there's not loads of natural light, and two guests will sleep on a sofa bed. But, factor in the central location and picturesque neighbourhood and it's easy to see why it's in our collection.

The Royal Handbook

Ranged at the top of a mid-Victorian mansion, this stylish penthouse is the ideal base for anyone looking to explore well-heeled West London. The neutral colour palette is soothing and sophisticated, while patterned wallpaper adds personality to each of the bedrooms. Pick up the best of the best produce at Harrods Food Halls, less than a ten-minute walk away, and cook up gastronomic delights in the well-appointed kitchen. A private balcony overlooks London’s evocative skyline; sip your morning coffee as the sun breaks through the clouds. Spend afternoons quaffing cocktails in Belgravia’s sought-after destinations or tour some of the capital’s finest collections – the Victoria and Albert, Science and Natural History Museums are reached in a leisurely twenty minutes by foot. When you’re ready to turn it up a notch, jump on the tube to Theatreland and Soho for a night you’ll never forget.

Up Above Belgravia

Just a five-minute walk from the cafes and restaurants of Earls Court, this art-filled home has all the qualities of a city sanctuary. Bright, spacious and full of character, it’s the perfect setting to snuggle up and get cosy after a day of exploring the London streets. And with Earls Court tube just a quick stroll away, you’ll find yourself swept off your feet by the city’s dazzling array of attractions. 

Located on the first floor with views across the tree tops, the owners have created a space that brings a refreshing burst of energy to daily living. You’ll find the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need to enjoy the comforts of home, while the elegant bedrooms set the tone for a truly relaxing stay. And when you don’t feel like cooking, there are some lovely local spots right on your doorstep – from Italian to Thai, you can travel the world without leaving this wonderful neighbourhood (in true London style). 

Levity

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

Nestled between South and West Kensington, historic Earl’s Court is home to this elegant flat. Five minutes from the busy tube and urban sprawl of the city, the organic colours of this home create a much-needed sense of calm. Think stone-coloured fabrics, marbled walls, and views onto nearby greenery. We love the huge windows in the living space, illuminating the modern, minimal decor and the striking art above the sofa. After a night’s sleep in the luxurious beds, why not have the host deliver breakfast to the door – excellent coffee, fresh pastries, and brunch options await you. If you’re in need of further pampering, they can also arrange wellness activities like an in-house massage or personal training session. After making the most of the indoors, take a stroll into West London for art, culture, and green spaces aplenty. Head out for lunch in neighbouring Chelsea, browse an exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery for the afternoon, followed by a tranquil stroll at dusk in Holland Park’s Kyoto Garden. On the way home, you’ll have to stop in for a whisky sour at a speakeasy-style cocktail bar in Earl’s Court – or a pint in a traditional pub if you want to drink like a local.
