Kensington Palace is your neighbour at this fuss-free apartment in Bayswater. The possibilities are endless in this location. Take a stroll through the royal gardens (a three-minute walk away), head to nearby Notting Hill for vintage shopping and delicious cuisine, or hop on the Tube and get whisked across London. Back home, the living space is bright and practical. The kitchen is well-appointed, while the main bedroom has a desk for remote working. Just note that the third bedroom is a little small, so we think it's best for one guest.

Home truths
The third bedroom has a double bed pushed against the wall. We think it's a better fit for one guest.
The Juliet balcony is nice to have, but it isn't really big enough to socialise on.
There's a desk in the main bedroom if you plan to work from home.
You won't need a car in this location. Queensway Underground is 100 metres away, while Bayswater Tube Station is five minutes on foot. Both offer convenient transport links across London.

Grand white stucco terraces and communal garden squares make up the majority of housing in the area, so architecture aficionados will be in for a treat. Large green spaces attract families and wealthy locals alike, who...

Start your day at Eggbreak
Prepare yourself for a higher level education on egg-based recipes. Try the pork belly brioche bap topped with a poached egg. Come early in your trip as you might want to repeat.
Have a pint at London’s most colourful pub
Literally covered from top to bottom in billowing flowers of every colour, it’s easy to forget that the Churchill Arms is also a great pub. Grab a pint & soak up almost 300 years of drinking history.
Dine at Banana Tree Westbourne Grove
Enjoy super delicious Pan-Asian fare and amazing 2 for 1 drinks in a cozy, industrial-chic restaurant with friendly staff and vegan options.
Marvel at Saint Sophia
This greek orthodox church is one of the most stunning structures in the area. Not visited that often but used as a regular shoot space for its lush interiors and beautiful artwork.
Grab a green meal at Farmacy
A leafy café with a retro vibe which attends to the needs of vegetarians, vegans, and other tribes with maximum style.
See how the royals live at kensington palace
Before you start your stroll along Hyde Park pass by Kensington Palace and Gardens. An opportunity to learn about the royal residence and their day to day life.
Play at the Diana Memorial Playground
What better tribute to the People's Princess than a playground where over a million children a year enjoy playing in this free space. For grown ups, there's a coffee bar just nearby.
Make the Mall Tavern your local
This great little gastro-pub is just around the corner and has a great atmosphere and a decent craft-beer and whiskey selection - drop in for a drink or two after a long day of exploring the sights.
Eat a British lunch at the Shed
Enjoy modern British cuisine within a farmyard-style setting. Their menu is divided into "slow cooking" or "fast cooking” - you decide.
Skate, Dine or Bowl at Queens
Take your pick - London’s only permanent ice rink location also boasts state-of-the-art bowling lanes and west London’s only outpost of the cult-status burger joint MEATliquor.
Catch a Film at The Gate Picturehouse
Dating back to 1911, The Gate is a gorgeous single-screen cinema in the heart of Notting Hill.
Experience a night at The Coronet Theatre
This converted warehouse offers a cosy and intimate setting to enjoy contemporary dance, opera, and drama productions. Don't miss the unique candlelit bar here, too – we think it's the star of the show.
