This contemporary home, situated a ten-minute walk from Shepherd’s Bush Market tube station, is a versatile base for a family or group of friends looking for a more local feeling stay in the city. Eclectic yet stylish, the place has plenty of intrigue. You’ll find an array of curiosities in the living space, while the expansive kitchen-diner is thoroughly modern, with a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and strategically placed skylights drenching the room with natural light. This is where we think you’ll be spending most of your time, hanging out on the squashy sofa or cooking up a storm as your group sets the table ready for a lively dinner. When it’s sunny, take the plates outside for some alfresco feasting – the manicured garden is a lovely spot in the summertime. Shopping fans should make a beeline for Westfield White City, a fifteen-minute walk from your doorstep, as culture buffs hop on the Central line to discover Kensington Palace and its glorious gardens, a ten-minute tube ride away.

About White City
The history of White City is surprisingly recent by London’s standards. It takes its name from the former 200-acre complex where white stucco palaces and Venetian-style canals formed an opulent Victorian exhibition site as well as hosting the 1908 Olympics.
