A first-floor apartment within a classic Victorian terrace on a tree-lined crescent in Earl's Court, this is London period living done well. The high-ceilinged sitting room – with its original fireplace and large windows looking onto stucco-fronted houses opposite – has a calm, unhurried quality that's easy to settle into. Both Earl's Court Underground and West Brompton Overground are a few minutes' walk away, putting Kensington Gardens, South Kensington's museums, Notting Hill, and Sloane Square all within comfortable reach.

Home truths
The apartment is on the first floor and accessed by stairs only – there's no lift in the building, so it's worth bearing in mind if you have mobility considerations or heavy luggage.
There is a chance you might hear some noise from the upstairs residents. If you're a light sleeper, it's worth bringing earplugs.
The lead guest must be at least 21 years old.

Local guide
About Earl's Court
Kensington’s more down-to-earth neighbour, Earl’s Court is a well-rounded base to explore West London – and beyond. Relaxed restaurants, traditional pubs and leafy side streets characterise the neighbourhood. Make sure you visit The Troubadour, an iconic music venue that hosted Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell in its prime. You’re more likely to walk in on a lowkey jazz session these days, performed under a decades-old collection of instruments...
