Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This modern apartment makes a fantastic base for exploring West London – you're within walking distance of South Kensington's museums, Chelsea's luxury shops, and the peaceful gardens of Holland Park. With all of this on your doorstep (and the rest of the city just a quick Tube ride away), you'll be glad of a fuss-free space to call home for a little while. The interiors may not wow, but we don't think you'll mind – there's enough space in the open-plan lounge to unwind with friends in the evening, and even enjoy a home-cooked meal or two if that's what you're craving.

Local guide
About Earl's Court
Kensington’s more down-to-earth neighbour, Earl’s Court is a well-rounded base to explore West London – and beyond. Relaxed restaurants, traditional pubs and leafy side streets characterise the neighbourhood. Make sure you visit The Troubadour, an iconic music venue that hosted Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell in its prime. You’re more likely to walk in on a lowkey jazz session these days, performed under a decades-old collection of instruments...
