This London pad caught our eye for its standout location, in the heart of well-heeled Knightsbridge. Within walking distance of Hyde Park, Harrods, the V&A, and the Natural History Museum, it’s the perfect base for exploring the capital. The home itself boasts a private terrace – a rare find for apartments in this postcode – which is the ideal spot to enjoy a morning coffee before browsing the nearby boutiques. There are quite a few stairs to climb, but if you don't mind the workout, we think it’s a great choice for a couple or solo traveller wanting a prestigious address with easy access to London’s must-sees.
