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.

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.

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.

Elegant and sublimely modern, this bright apartment in Chelsea features a beautifully curated interior design and plenty of natural light.

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.

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.

Part of a modern development, your home is on the third floor and it's been put together with great taste. Everything from the white walls and squashy sofa to the wood floors and American-style shutters speaks of subtle sophistication. Keen cooks will be pleased to know there's a well-equipped galley kitchen and home-workers will spot the desk in the master bedroom – where patio doors open to the little balcony.

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.

In the prestigious neighbourhood of Belgravia, this elegant townhouse is spread over five floors with a small rooftop terrace and three en-suites. We think it's a great choice for a family or group of couples travelling together – you won't get much more central than this, with iconic hotspots like Buckingham Palace and Battersea Park within walking distance. Sloane Square Station is just minutes away on foot and makes for easy exploration, and you'll find a wealth of local shops and restaurants in the surrounding streets.

The Park Keeper

Those visiting on business will be pleased to know the place has superfast broadband, ideal for virtual meetings. 

Fitzroy Fancy

This home stands proudly above adjacent buildings and casts an imposing shadow on the street below, famous for its upmarket gentlemen's outfitters – with your downstairs neighbour being a traditional shoe shop. The whole area has a classy and traditional London vibe, so upon entering this grand building, you might be surprised by the interiors of the flat. Sleek white fixtures and fittings, monochrome photography prints, honey-coloured flooring, and a neutral colour palette are a welcome contrast to the buzz of nearby Piccadilly. Sip an Earl Grey on the balcony as you look out over the city centre from your vantage point. The plush bedrooms also feature French doors or large windows with views – it’s a city that deserves to be seen. You should be able to spot St James's Church at Piccadilly, right across the street. As it’s well known for its classical music programme, why not stop in for a lunchtime concert? Then on to St James’s Square, where you can unwind in elegant and peaceful formal gardens. For the evening, the glitzy restaurants of Mayfair are calling. You won’t even need to hail a black cab, as it’s only a ten-minute walk away.

Trash Compactor

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.

Bursting with sunlight and high ceilings, this apartment is a real gem. It's set on the first floor of a Grade II-listed building, offering more than enough space for a couple. Stacked bookshelves provide entertainment when you're not out and about, while the dining table by the sash window makes a great spot to work from home.

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.   

Perfect Moderation

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. 

Chelsea Girl

With views of London’s famous Savoy Hotel, this elegant flat is a quiet escape while still being in the very heart of buzzing Central London. Start mornings off by making a cup of coffee in the beautiful marble-accented kitchen, then kick back on the sofa while taking in the sights from the living room’s wall of windows. When you’re ready to explore, Covent Garden is just a five-minute walk away while Waterloo Bridge is right around the corner giving you easy access to Southbank’s exciting entertainment options. After a day of sightseeing, come back home for a long soak in the tub (the bathroom has underfloor heating for added cosiness) before sitting down for an intimate meal at home. Alternatively, head back out to discover London’s vibrant food and nightlife scenes, with plenty of restaurants and bars right of your front step. When it’s time to turn in, you’ll find two luxuriously comfortable beds waiting to cradle you into a peaceful night’s sleep.


Stompin' At The Savoy

There aren't many words more pleasing to hear together than 'Notting Hill' and 'townhouse', and this whitewashed home is a prime example of why. Not only is the location perfect for exploring the galleries, parks and restaurants of West London, but the interior design exudes a timeless elegance. Whether you're hosting dinner parties or soaking in the pastel pink bathroom's tub, you'll find it easy to relax away from the hustle and bustle of the city streets.

Whoops-a-Daisy

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.

In the heart of Primrose Hill, this stunning Grade II listed artist’s studio makes for a wonderfully unique London base. The historic studio, once a Victorian painting room, has been home to leading artists including Patrick Caulfield and John William Waterhouse. The double-height entrance hall opens to the open-plan kitchen, living, and dining room. Walls of glass flood the space with light and look out onto the private walled garden. Artwork by Australian and British artists is dotted around – it's a joy to explore this home. The house is tucked away down a private access road, so it’s tranquil and calm, despite being just a two-minute walk from Primrose Hill and a wealth of shops and eateries.

There’s even a private courtyard where you can enjoy warm weather. 

Royal Sloane

Temperature Control

Live out your literary dreams in this bright and airy apartment, twice lived in by famed novelist, Charles Dickens. Centrally located in the vibrant Fitzrovia, this apartment is a sleek city base with a storied history. 

This modern apartment feels both contemporary and comfortable. The pared-back and minimal design is contrasted with elements of character, like the exposed brick walls, an array of plants and a library of books that are a joy to indulge in after a day of exploring the streets of Soho, just a ten-minute walk away. Slide open the sash windows and enjoy your morning coffee at the large wooden table, or if you’re in need of a quick fix before heading out, the sleek stone-surfaced kitchen is perfect for whipping up a quick bite. It must be said, however, with London’s roster of restaurants you’ll have to fight yourself to stay in, even for breakfast.

Amble your way around Soho, popping into The Photographer’s Gallery and Sadie Coles before grabbing lunch at Koya for chewy udon noodles and beer-braised pork belly. Spend the rest of the afternoon in and out of shops in Covent Garden, we like Tenderbooks for their archive collections and Dover Street Market for sartorial browsing. Wind down in the evening at Duck Soup for a glass of natural wine and your pick of the seasonal menu. As night falls, wander through the buzzy streets back to your novelist’s hideout.   

A Literary Abode

This home is in a really special location along a quaint mews street in the heart of London. It's perfect for a larger group visiting the city to catch up, attend business meetings or simply see the sights. With two separate living rooms, there's plenty of space for everyone to spread out and get comfortable, while the desk and dining table provide stylish places to work remotely. There's even a pretty patio – a true luxury in the city centre – where you can enjoy your morning coffee or a G&T at the end of a long London day. You might like to head into the kitchen to cook up a traditional Sunday roast, but if you prefer someone else does the hard work then there are plenty of pubs and restaurants in the surrounding Marylebone area. Work off your meal with a stroll through gorgeous Regent's Park, just seven minutes away on foot, and pop in to visit the animals in ZSL London Zoo. Or, if a spot of retail therapy is more your kind of thing, then iconic Oxford Street is just a ten-minute stroll from your front door – you won't have far to carry your new purchases. And, with Regent's Park Station close by, it's quick and easy to get around using public transport. 

English Manner

Tucked away down a pastel-coloured, cobbled mews street, this quaint home offers you the chance of an idyllic London experience. Think more Richard Curtis than Guy Ritchie. The eclectic interiors are bursting with charm, and the impressive collection of art, artefacts, sculptures and rocks reflect the home's proximity to two of London's most popular museums, the V&A and Natural History Museum – with both little more than five minutes from your front door. While there's no oven in the kitchen, it's perfectly set up to prepare light meals. And if you need something more substantial, you're spoiled for choice when it comes to cafes and restaurants dotted along Brompton Road and clustered around South Kensington station – all within a ten-minute walk. From here, the Tube can whisk you out west to explore stunning Kew Gardens or transport you to London's trendy East End in a little over half an hour. 

Mariposa

Sonos

This elegant apartment is a superb base in central London. It’s in Kensington and Chelsea, with shops, cafes, and restaurants nearby. The museums of South Kensington and Gloucester Road are only a couple of tube stops away, and Chelsea fans will be glad to be able to walk to Stamford Bridge in twenty-five minutes. The apartment features high ceilings and tall windows, with chic decor and high-end finishes. The mezzanine-level bedroom isn’t entirely private from the living space below, but it’s comfortable and there’s plenty of room. 

Fit for an Earl

Security Cameras

Award-winning architects made their mark on this property, a Grade II listed building converted into elegant homes. This apartment is the largest in the building, boasting an open-plan living and dining space with a kitchenette and two attractive bedrooms. It’s a characterful home with an original feature fireplace, crown moulding, and herringbone wood floors. You’ll be just a ten-minute walk from Oxford Street and similarly close to beautiful Regent’s Park, ideally placed for exploring London on foot or by using the tube.

Piccadilly Boutique

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.

Knightsbridge Elegance

Fashionable but with a traditional charm, it's not hard to see why visitors and locals alike fall under Chelsea's spell. The upmarket neighbourhood is known for its grand Victorian townhouses, and you'll find this apartment on the ground floor of one of these classic buildings. Although thoroughly modernised, there are historic touches throughout from high, corniced ceilings to a decorative fireplace. There's a Tube station around the corner at Sloane Square, but you don't have to go far to get a dose of culture around here – there are world-famous museums and galleries right on your doorstep. Round off the day with a homemade meal using ingredients from the local market, or opt for a spot of fine dining at one of the local restaurants. There are several chic bars nearby where you can sip a nightcap, but if you fancy opening some wine and sinking into the marble bathtub then we don't blame you – it's true bliss. 

Flower Show

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

Underfloor Heating

Located between exclusive Bloomsbury, Holborn and Farringdon, this brand new, state-of-the-art luxury home has a fantastic location. Charles Dickens Museum is a mere four-minute stroll, while the British Museum is just over ten minutes on foot. Top-ranking universities, such as the London School of Economics and Political Science, University College London and King's College, are all under a twenty-minute walk, as is the London Stock Exchange, Covent Garden and St. Paul's Cathedral. Or if you fancy an evening at the theatre, the West End is just over a twenty-minute saunter. Of course, there are plenty of fine restaurants and bars right on your doorstep. Set in a traditional English mews, this place has a chic industrial style. We love the large windows that let light flood in, as well as the engineered oak floors. We were really surprised by how quiet this abode is, given its locale. This home also has that oh so rare outdoor space – the balcony is ideal for having a pre-dinner glass of Champagne. There are various laptop areas for studying or working here too. Perfect for corporate guests, students, small families or friends looking to get the most out of London, this home really delivers.

Blooming Lovely

Bathrobes

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.

Geometricity

Electricity Adaptors

Originally built in the 1730s, this sumptuous apartment is a shining example of Georgian architecture. The building is one of the oldest in Mayfair – in 1821, famed Buckingham Palace architect Thomas Cubbit extended it – and you can see the character, history and period details in every room. It feels like a home you want to linger in, with new surprises waiting at every turn. We love the antique furniture – a clawfoot desk here, a fauteuil armchair there – but the smart kitchen, stylish bathroom and mod-cons like a rainfall shower, espresso machine and Netflix bring things in the 21st-century. We think it's the best of both worlds, and the location is even better.

Ritzy and charming, Mayfair is home to leafy squares, cobbled lanes lined with cafes and some of the oldest shops in London. Fashionistas will enjoy shopping along New Bond Street and Saville Row (a five-minute walk away), art fiends can browse the nearby galleries and auction houses (Phillips Auction House & Gallery is right next door) and foodies will love the bevvy of gourmet eateries nearby. With Bond Street Station only six minutes away on foot, travelling around the rest of the city is easy – perfect if you fancy a bit of sightseeing.

The Georgian Architect

Time travel back to the swinging psychedelic sixties with a stay in this beautifully curated apartment, located in the heart of Mayfair. Sitting within a building dating back to the 1730s, it’s the earliest surviving house in the area and was modernised in 1821 by Thomas Cubitt – the same master builder who constructed Buckingham Palace’s facade. 
 
Packed full of Art Nouveau and early Art Deco antiques – styles that signalled fashion and rebellion in the 1960s – there’s a definite touch of retro glamour in the living room, paired with vibrant pop art prints of the Beatles and swish velvet furnishings that effortlessly channel sixties cool. Kick back on the sofa with a glass of wine after a day of exploring or gather around the elegant dining table for a sophisticated soirée when you’re not out soaking up the lively atmosphere of Central London at night. 
 
The two bedrooms, meanwhile, are equally plush with their comfortable beds and extravagant colour schemes and each boasts a desk space should you need to catch up on work. Factor in the sleek bathroom with its rainfall shower, and you’ve got everything you need for a stylishly vintage stay. 
 
When it comes to exploring, trace the steps of the young, vibrant '60s socialites who worked in the area – like Terence Donovan, David Bailey, and John Cowan who had their studios on your street – or treat yourself to some retail therapy along Oxford Street, a six-minute walk away. You’re also a twelve-minute stroll from leafy Hyde Park, while Soho is thirteen minutes away on foot.
