Hidden within a Victorian building ten minutes north of Hyde Park, this sleek, functional apartment serves as an excellent London base. It's especially suited to larger families, with a slightly unorthodox sleeping arrangement across its two bedrooms – while one offers a standard double, the other features a bunk bed with a double bottom bunk. The living area, dining table and kitchen all fit nicely into one bright space, while the apartment's proximity to Notting Hill, Kensington Palace, and Tube stations like Bayswater and Queensway make it a comfortable and viable option for exploring the capital.

About Bayswater
Nestled between Notting Hill and Hyde Park, Bayswater is a great base for exploring everything that Central London has to offer, yet maintains a tight-knit, neighbourhood feel which sets it apart from surrounding areas.
