Hidden just off Kensington High Street, this thoughtfully furnished split-level apartment exudes sophistication. With a spiral staircase leading up to the mezzanine level, the home's high ceilings mean plenty of space and natural light, making the downstairs living area extra relaxing. The dining area and kitchen are tastefully laid out, while there's also a lounge area doubling as a study for comfortable remote working. The home can sleep up to six across its three bedrooms, each of which gets its own bathroom, while you'll also have access to the building's tranquil inner courtyard. The location is also excellent, with both Holland Park and Hyde Park within walking distance and High Street Kensington station less than ten minutes away on foot.

Local guide
About Kensington
Affluent and incredibly central, Kensington is a great base for exploring London on foot. Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are on your doorstep and so are the Victoria and Albert, Science, and Natural History Museums. The streets are attractive and well maintained (grand, white stucco facades aplenty) and your neighbours will be a wealthy, conservative set. Lots of positives but probably not the place to let your hair down.
