Amidst the upscale streets of Kensington, this home offers a cosy city sanctuary. It’s worth noting the apartment is on the third floor with no lift access, but once inside it's easy to relax and unwind. The layout is ideal for solo travellers and couples with space to work, cook or switch off with a movie. Also, you couldn’t be better placed for sightseeing or business meetings. There are excellent public transport links with Earls Court and High Street Kensington station both within walking distance. Plus, it’s just a short stroll to Holland Park and local restaurants, cafes and shops.

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.
