Panoramic views of Hyde Park, the Royal Albert Hall, and the V&A from make this South Kensington apartment hard to leave – and yet you're a three-minute walk from the Underground, with Hyde Park and the museum quarter virtually on your doorstep. Inside, the scale is rare for central London: grand reception rooms, a library-and-wellness retreat, and a games room with a grand piano sit alongside a kitchen built for cooking together. Knightsbridge and Harrods are a five-minute stroll when you do venture out.

Home truths

  • If you're travelling with little ones, your host can arrange a cot and high chair for your stay. Request them in advance to make sure everything is ready on arrival.

  • There's no in-home laundry access here – you won't be able to use a washing machine or dryer during your stay. Your host can arrange a housekeeper to handle laundry at an additional cost, or there's a laundrette nearby if you'd prefer to manage it yourself.

  • Private parking is available, but you'll need to request it in advance. Parking in London can be tricky in any case, so we recommend leaning on the excellent public transport links and exploring on foot where possible.

  • Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.

  • The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents.
