Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Chic and contemporary, this basement apartment promises a comfortable stay in the city. Sure, given its enviable location and the restaurant that’s adjacent to the second bedroom, you may hear the occasional street noise. But for us, this home is all about the location. A short walk away, you’ll find some of London’s most renowned museums, while Hyde Park is also within walking distance should you fancy a picnic in the fresh air. And, while this home has a modern kitchen that’s perfect for whipping up family feasts, the selection of trendy eateries lining the local streets means that dining out is sure to be on the menu.

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...
