Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
It’s rare to find outdoor space this big and well-furnished in the centre of London, so it’s no wonder the host thinks of this place as a sanctuary in the city. The lounge beneath the pergola is perfect for an evening tipple. Heading inside, it’s bright and sunny for a basement-level apartment thanks to the bay window in the living room. There’s a laptop desk to get some work done and a big kitchen for family-sized meals. The bedrooms are a little small in comparison, but the central location in Shepherd’s Bush (a short hop from Kensington) more than makes up for it.
