Period grandeur and a prime Kensington address make for a compelling combination – and that's exactly what's in store at this apartment. The main living room – soaring ceilings, open fireplace, gilded cornicing – is as comfortable as it is stylish, and the spa-style main bathroom brings a quieter kind of luxury to the everyday. Outside, Hyde Park's 350 acres are a twenty-five-minute walk away, and Kensington High Street is right on the doorstep, putting some of the city's best shopping, dining, and green space within easy reach.

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.
