Culture vultures will love this apartment in South Kensington. It's just a ten-minute stroll from world-class museums (including the V&A and the Natural History Museum), twenty minutes on foot from Kensington Palace, and a stone's throw from the area's excellent shops and restaurants. Back home, the building has a communal gym and shared cinema room, so you'll never miss a workout (or, for that matter, a movie night). The design is a bit more classic, but it has all the contemporary comforts. Plus, you can pay to park on-site – though an Underground station is minutes away, making it easy to to go car-free.
