You'll feel right at home in this Kensington apartment. We love the light-filled living space – we think it's a serene space to wind down after a busy day. Remote working on the cards? There's a separate study here that's ideal for business travellers. Best of all, though, is the terrace. We can't think of a better spot to enjoy a glass of wine and admire the rooftop views. When you're ready to explore, all Kensington has to offer is within walking distance, be it trendy coffee shops, famous museums, or Tube stations for adventures further afield.

About South Kensington
South Kensington is probably most famous for being home to some of London’s top museums (The Victoria & Albert Museum, Natural History Museum, and Science Museum) and so you don’t need to wander far to see some of the city’s greatest treasures. World-class Hyde Park is just a stone’s throw away and there are plenty of great bars and cafes on the delightful pedestrianised end of Exhibition Road, packed full...
