Tucked down a historic cobbled mews, this home is anything but boring. Don't be fooled by the cottage-core exterior – inside, the design is all about contemporary touches and sleek details. One of our favourite rooms is the main bathroom, which has a soaker tub and two lavish showers. There's also a second (albeit slightly smaller) suite, so nobody will feel left out. Upstairs, the living area opens onto a Juliet balcony with views of the mews, and there's a large kitchen ideal for culinarians. The cherry on top is the location. You're just a stone's throw from Harrods, Hyde Park, and the many eateries and shops in swanky Knightsbridge.

Tucked away down a quiet mews, removed from the hustle and bustle of the city, this stylish apartment in South Kensington is a delightful London bolthole to call home.

Stepping inside, the home is warm and inviting, with stylish furnishings, parquet flooring, and beautiful pieces of modern art adding a visual statement.

With Royal Albert Hall, Hyde Park and three world-famous museums (The Natural History, V&A and Science Museums) practically on your doorstep, this apartment in South Kensington absolutely nails it, location-wise. Just a few minutes walk will also take you to Kensington High Street – known for its boutique shops and excellent eateries – so you couldn't ask for a better spot to call home. But the bustling locale isn't the only thing we love – inside, this apartment is a sparkling ode to another time. Shimmering chandeliers hang from high ceilings adorned with intricate cornices. Roman-inspired pillars stand tall on top of glossy parquet flooring and an ornamental marble fireplace takes centre stage in the living room. It's bright and luxurious, the perfect accompaniment to a stay in high-end Kensington. Whether you're sprawled out on the plush sofas, rustling up dinner in the modern kitchen or soaking in the bathtubs, this home is sure to surprise you. There's even a roof terrace for alfresco breakfasts and evening cocktails as the sun goes down. Add in the weekly housekeeping and twenty-four-hour reception, and you'll be well looked after here, day or night.

Welcome Hamper

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

This South Kensington townhome has it all – a central location, must-have mod-cons, and comfortable rooms ideal for unwinding.

The interiors strike the perfect balance between refined and cosy. You can rest weary feet in the lounge, whip up a tasty meal in the sleek kitchen, or retreat to one of the three comfortable bedrooms for a good night's sleep.

Originally a stable in the 19th century, this mews house has been converted into a rather special London home. It’s easy to see why the home has won design awards, with the kitchen’s vibrant living wall and the terrace’s retractable roof. It’s spread over four floors but boasts a chic lift that blends with the modern decor. There’s a family room for relaxing together, and an open-plan reception room with a workspace – this really is a convenient home-from-home. Best of all, it’s in the heart of South Kensington, just down the road from the Natural History Museum, the V&A, and lots of local eateries. 

South Kensington High Life

Tucked away one of London's most sought-after postcodes, this Georgian mews home has plenty of character and style. Within close proximity to many of London's main museums, spend your days soaking up the culture and history of the area, or jump on the tube to be taken to London's main attractions in minutes. Kensington itself is home to an array of chic cafes and international eateries, which will prove very convenient if you fancy stopping for a bite to eat on the way home.

With an outdoor patio to the front of the house, wind down on summer evenings with a glass of wine while taking in the original architecture, before heading inside for a long hot bubble bath. Wind down on the velvet sofa in the living space until it's time to get some rest in the comfortable beds.

Single-Level Home

With its own entrance, this is the perfect South Kensington pad for those hoping for a bit of added privacy. Better suited for a couple, the home is compact, with the dining space being particularly cosy. Situated on the lower-ground floor, you'll have to be ready to climb some pretty steep steps to enter the home, so be sure to pack with this in mind.

Chez Salia

This lower-ground flat is sleek and modern in the heart of Knightsbridge, with an en-suite off the main bedroom and a small exercise room for getting in that morning workout. We think it's a great choice if you're travelling for business or as a small family – the kitchen is cosy but more than capable of handling hearty family meals. Parking outside is limited but you won't be missing out if you don't drive. Public transport isn't far away, and the beautiful Hyde Park and its surrounding attractions are within walking distance.

Is there anything more quintessentially West London than a handsome townhouse? This home on a quiet residential cul-de-sac in Chelsea is a fine example of exactly the sort of thing we mean.

Inside, the design leans on traditional, with period features and antique furnishings rubbing shoulders with quaint landscape artwork and homely rugs on the floor. Tall sash windows bring in plenty of natural light and look out to sleepy treetop views on the upper floor. 

When it comes to getting to know the local area a little better, the first port of call should be the famous King's Road, only five minutes' walk away, which has a wealth of restaurants and boutiques to explore, as well as a couple of art galleries. The Victoria and Albert Museum is only thirteen minutes away on foot, too.

That's Capital

Nestled in leafy South Kensington, this fifth-floor apartment couldn't be better located. Museums, coffee shops, and gourmet restaurants are just a short walk away, as is Gloucester Road Underground, giving easy access to the rest of the city. The decor is a tad minimalist, but you'll have everything you need for a comfortable stay – a bright living area, a well-appointed kitchen, and a cosy bedroom with an en-suite soaker tub. Despite having a lift in the building, you'll still need to climb a few stairs. Children may also be welcome upon request, but we think it's best for a couple's getaway.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Situated in one of Kensington's characteristic white stucco townhomes, this apartment is truly something special. Here, world-class museums, trendy eateries, high-end boutiques, and the greenery of Hyde Park are all within easy reach. But it's not just the location that caught our eye. Three floors of stylish living space give families plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen is a dream come dinnertime, the lounge is ideal for cosy nights at home, and the dedicated office has remote working covered. Topping it all off is a private roof terrace, where you can open a bottle of wine, fire up the barbecue, or simply sit back and admire the views.

Graceful Gardenia

Wonderfully positioned between two manicured garden squares in South Kensington, this elegant home provides a peaceful retreat while being just minutes away from London's cultural heavyweights. Step inside and be wowed by the living room’s grandeur – tall ceilings, a crystal chandelier, floor-to-ceiling draped windows, bespoke pieces of art and plush aubergine-hued sofas arranged around an ornamental fireplace create a stately welcome. We love the glass window-side desk that allows you to take in views of the quiet communal gardens while you work, and the French doors that lead out onto one of two balconies. Sit here with your morning coffee while you soak up the serenity of your privileged spot or simply wake up in one of the two sophisticated bedrooms to enjoy their shared outdoor space at the back of the home. With a sleek kitchen (boasting a boiling water tap and a wine fridge) and two dreamy modern bathrooms to boot, you’ve got everything you need for a blissfully relaxing stay. Outside of your home, you’re just a ten-minute walk from South Kensington’s world-class museums – including the Natural History Museum – while beautiful Hyde Park is a twenty-minute stroll from your door.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

The Rose Blossom

Tucked away in well-heeled Chelsea, this apartment is a twenty-minute walk from both King’s Road and Hyde Park. Better still, Gloucester Road Tube station is less than ten minutes away by foot, connecting you to the centre of London and beyond. The home's interior is comfortable, contemporary, and a fine place to crash at the end of a busy day. The kitchen is especially slick, but with the very best of the capital’s restaurants on your doorstep, mealtimes at home will be a thing of the past.

London Lovers

If you’re here to soak up the art and history of one of London’s most well-known cultural quarters, this gorgeous garden flat could be your perfect base. In a residential road running between a few of West London’s exciting high streets, this home offers you space to breathe. Enter through stunning exterior columns and into a bright white living area, contrasting the chic black leather furniture by the bay window. From modern decor to ancient artefacts, you will need to leave the house at some point to visit South Kensington’s world-class museums – the V&A is just a twelve-minute walk, and next to the Natural History Museum. As well as luxury shopping and cocktails in the neighbouring area of Chelsea, Gloucester Road tube is a six-minute walk and your ticket to exploring the rest of this marvellous city. En route to the station, you might get a little distracted as you pass by book shops, traditional pubs, and delicious bakeries – don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Spiral Garden

Located in the heart of the exclusive district of South Kensington, this luxurious apartment makes for the perfect base for two. Whether you're travelling for work or leisure – this contemporary home has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The interiors are bright and welcoming, with luxurious finishes – making the apartment feel like a hotel. You'll find plenty of independent shops, restaurants, and cafes – just a short walk away. Spend your days strolling through Hyde Park, or perhaps visit the V&A museum. With such close proximity to both South Kensington and Gloucester Road tube stations – you can easily navigate your way across London.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Exclusive Romance

Balcony / Patio

This chic, contemporary pad is tailor-made for solo travellers and couples alike. Whether you’re in London for business or leisure, this home drops you in a prime position in South Kensington. We love the light-filled living area, and, step through the bedroom and you’ll find a quaint balcony, perfect for morning coffee or an evening aperitif. Location-wise, it’s an easy stroll to some of the capital’s most iconic museums, Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, or you can hop on the Tube at Gloucester Road Underground Station for trips further afield. 

London Symphony

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

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.

Maison Clareville

Featuring three luxurious floors full of style, this home is London living at its finest. The design is sleek, contemporary, and bright – we're talking oversized windows, high ceilings, and all the must-have essentials. Relaxing is effortless in the living area, while the chef-style kitchen makes mealtimes easy. Those lucky enough to bag the main suite can unwind in a soaker bath. And we can't forget the private roof terrace – it's the perfect spot for sunbathing and cocktails. Location-wise, you'll have South Kensington at your fingertips here. Gourmet eateries, transport links, and world-famous attractions like the Natural History Museum are all a short walk away.

Kensington Grace

Bright, modern and ideally located in South Kensington, this sophisticated apartment is perfect for those wanting to be within easy reach of some of London’s most iconic cultural sights. Its double-height windows ensure plenty of natural light pours in, while the mezzanine bedroom gives you ample space. The monochrome colour scheme adds a debonair feel to the proceedings in the living room, with a glossy window-side table inviting hearty breakfasts ahead of mornings spent sightseeing and intimate evenings over a glass of wine. Outside of your home, Hyde Park is just a three-minute walk away, while the Royal Albert Hall is an eight-minute stroll from your door. Elsewhere, both Chelsea and Knightsbridge are just twenty minutes on foot from your home, where countless high-end restaurants and shops wait to be explored.


Savoir-Faire

Just around the corner from where Winston Churchill once lived and overlooking the greenery of Hyde Park, this serviced apartment is a lovely little haven for friends looking to have a London getaway, or a family hoping to take in the museums of South Ken. Safe, exclusive, and comfortable, nobody will ever call Kensington the party 'hood of London, but you're within easy reach of public transport and it's a shopper's delight with High Street Kensington only five minutes walk away.

Hyde Park Chic I

Electricity Adaptors

Courtyard

In the heart of well-heeled Kensington, this apartment ticks the boxes for a central stay. The location is unbeatable – London's famous museums, the Royal Albert Hall, leafy Hyde Park, and Kensington Palace Gardens are all a short stroll away. This is a lower-ground floor flat, so it won't suit those who struggle with stairs. It's filled with natural light, thanks to the conservatory-style dining area. There's also a desk ideal for digital nomads and a small outdoor space where you can end the evening with a glass of wine. Just note that two guests will sleep on a sofa bed.



Kensington's Finest

South Kensington is chic and exclusive – it’s a splendid part of London to call home. Staying in this apartment puts you right in the heart of this district, amid its restaurants, cafes, shops, and museums. You’ll be close to green spaces including Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, and can walk to the King’s Road in fifteen minutes. The apartment is on the first floor of a Grade II listed building next door to a filming spot for ‘A Fish Called Wanda’. The highlight of this home is the private terrace, which overlooks communal gardens – in warm weather, open the French doors and expand the living space. The single bedroom is accessible via a ladder, which won’t be suitable for everyone. 

London Gossip

With its tall corniced ceilings and plasterwork walls, this elegant apartment in South Kensington blends a yesteryear elegance with modern comforts to provide a thoroughly relaxing stay. While its grand open-plan layout and wood floors make you feel like you’ve stepped into an ornate ballroom, its beautiful rugs, sleek furnishings and inviting bed ensure you feel wholly at home. A power shower will get mornings off to an invigorating start before breakfast around the glossy dining table. Then, make your way to Hyde Park (three minutes away on foot) for an early stroll and an afternoon visiting the Natural History Museum (an eight-minute walk away). Evenings call for an early dinner at one of the countless restaurants on your doorstep followed by a live show at the Royal Albert Hall (also eight minutes away), before retreating to your plush pad for a blissful night’s sleep.


Bertie

You’ll find this grand apartment in a suitably resplendent position between the Royal Albert Hall and Kensington Gardens. It’s a pad fit for royalty, with chandeliers, gilded antiques and a regal colour scheme of red and gold. We love the vast oil painting that overlooks the dining room, the impossibly splendid yellow silk bed in the master, and the antique kneehole desk in the office for when duty calls. There’s a private balcony for morning coffees before you promenade in Hyde Park and a neat little kitchen that provides a contemporary counterpoint for prepping evening meals. That said, with Kensington’s dazzling array of restaurants and bars on your doorstep, you’ll almost certainly be out on royal parade most nights.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

South Kensington Opulence

Moments from Hyde Park, this apartment exudes elegance. You'll be close to the world-famous Royal Albert Hall and the renowned V&A and Natural History Museums, along with upscale restaurants and designer boutiques. And just as impressive as the location is the vast living area waiting for you back home. Statement artwork, character features, and extensive windows filling the space with sunlight only add to the ambience. The sleek kitchen is well-stocked for home cooking, and the bedrooms are as stylish as they are comfortable. Topping it all off is the small balcony with views of Hyde Park's treetops – unbeatable.

The Ivy & The Pearl

This lofty white home is all about its enviable location. Immersed in the crème de la crème of West London – South Kensington is a sought-after neighbourhood where urban affluents frequent fine-dining restaurants, upscale shops and cultural attractions. Just under a ten-minute stroll from both the V&A and Natural History Museum, you really couldn't be better placed here. When – weary from all that shopping, eating and museum-hopping – you do eventually return home, you'll enter into a bright and airy house with plenty of rustic flair. Exuding character and sophistication, the living room is a large yet charming space to unwind with its exposed rafters, high beamed ceilings and ornamental fireplace. You'll notice the crushed velvet furnishings and ghost chairs add that extra level of refinement – perfectly in-tune with the classy pavements below. Elsewhere, with pearly-white decor and a copper-toned chair, both bedrooms have an air of understated elegance – which just about sums this home up.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Velvet Cream

Chic and contemporary, this basement apartment promises a comfortable stay in the city. Sure, given its enviable location and the restaurant that’s adjacent to the second bedroom, you may hear the occasional street noise. But for us, this home is all about the location. A short walk away, you’ll find some of London’s most renowned museums, while Hyde Park is also within walking distance should you fancy a picnic in the fresh air. And, while this home has a modern kitchen that’s perfect for whipping up family feasts, the selection of trendy eateries lining the local streets means that dining out is sure to be on the menu. 

London Hues

Nestled on a quiet street in South Kensington, this penthouse apartment, housed in a stunning neo-classical style London townhouse, has a fantastic location. It's around a ten-minute stroll from London's world-famous trio of museums – the Natural History Museum, the Victoria and Albert and the Science Museum. Or, if you fancy some green space, then beautiful Kensington Gardens are a fifteen-minute saunter. Back at this luxurious home, there’s a private lift to whisk you to the top floor. Once there, relax in the bright and classy living space with its elegant furnishings or enjoy a meal at the stylish dining table. The concierge here can arrange for a private chef to create a truly memorable feast for you and your guests if you prefer. Afterwards, take in the views over the rooftops of South Kensington, or unwind in the bath with a glass of Champagne.

Peter Pan

Locations don't get much better than this. Just a seven-minute walk from bustling King's Road, this flat is in the heart of upscale Kensington and Chelsea. Spend your days dining at the gourmet eateries nearby, browsing the museums in South Kensington (fifteen minutes on foot) and strolling through Hyde Park (a twenty-five-minute walk). It's the perfect spot to indulge in a bit of sightseeing, excellent shopping and luxury living – and with access to a private communal garden, you'll be doing quite a lot of the latter. We adore everything about this apartment, which is set in a traditional red-brick townhouse brimming with character. A bright living space is filled with books, cosy seating and beautiful artwork, while the kitchen has everything you need to whip up delicious homecooked meals. As an added bonus, a private balcony overlooks the communal gardens. In the evenings, sit out there with a glass of wine as the sun slowly sets, then come inside and snuggle up either on the sofa or in the bed for a Netflix movie night.

Sweet Evelyn

This elegant home in the heart of South Kensington is just the ticket for a stay in the capital. The laidback living area is a masterclass in classic meets contemporary, with antique scarlet armchairs and a rich, ornate rug sitting alongside glass balustrades and modern art canvases. Unconventionally, the bedrooms are downstairs, but we rather like the upside-down effect – who wants to be conventional anyway? Two of the bedrooms lead directly onto the patio, where stairs wind up to the lovely, shared garden. If you’re in need of even more greenery, the leafy expanse of Hyde Park is just a short walk away, along with the cultural powerhouse of the Royal Albert Hall. With its desk area, this home is perfect for those needing to mix business and pleasure. It’s also a great base for families, with the area's famous museums just down the road, and the nearest tube station (Gloucester Road) is a two-minute walk away, where trains wait to whisk you into the heart of the city.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

A Masterclass in Design

DVD Player

You’d be forgiven for mistaking this Kensington home for an elegant country cottage. With its rustic, traditional stylings – like the gingham headboard in the master bedroom and the ​​rococo chairs surrounding the farmhouse table in the kitchen – there’s a definite feeling of rural calm in this city townhouse. Set across four floors, you’ll have plenty of space to tuck yourself away for some quiet time alone with a good book, while the main living room – with its polished, antique mahogany furnishings, striking oil paintings and stately porcelain ornaments – invites sophisticated socials over afternoon tea or evening drinks. Our favourite feature of this beautiful home, though, is the private rooftop terrace. Climb the ladder that leads you into a cosy second sitting room, and open up the French doors to step out onto this leafy outdoor haven. Take a seat on the bench while soaking up the morning rays with your coffee or head up here in the evenings to watch the sunset over Kensington’s rooftops, a glass of bubbly in hand. While the quiet serenity of your idyllic retreat may have you, still, convinced you’re in a country getaway, you need only step out of your front door to be met with some of London’s most iconic cultural touchstones. Walk ten minutes to visit beautiful Kensington Gardens or explore South Kensington’s famous Natural History Museum, and while away afternoons sampling the plethora of cafes and restaurants in your neighbourhood. With Harrods and the King’s Roads both also just a twenty-minute walk from your front door, you’ve got plenty to keep you entertained.
