You'll find this penthouse apartment in vibrant Kensington. The Natural History Museum (a fifteen-minute stroll away), Gloucester Road Tube Station (ten minutes on foot) and a bevvy of shops and eateries are all within easy reach, making this the perfect stomping grounds for sightseeing. During downtime, there's more than enough room to spread out back home. Both the living area and dining room are bathed in sunlight, though the two guests sleeping on the sofa bed may want to pack an eye mask. Topping it all off is the private roof terrace – the ideal spot to enjoy a cup of tea in the morning sunshine.
