Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
With floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony inviting you for morning coffees, this modern apartment will make you feel at home from the get-go. It’s an ideal base for a family or group of friends – just bear in mind that as a party of six, two people will sleep on the sofa bed in the living room. Still, it’s a small price to pay for the location. With a Tube line running nearby, while you may hear some noise from passing trains, hopping across the city is a breeze. And with a plethora of museums, shops and eateries within walking distance, you’ll never be short of things to do.

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...
