Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street just steps from Holland Park, this West London apartment is the kind of address that makes a trip feel effortless. Spread across two floors, it gives a group of up to eight real room to breathe – a separate dining room for shared meals, a generous lounge for evenings in, and four bedrooms each with a king-size bed. Classic London interiors sit comfortably alongside modern touches, and Notting Hill is close enough to feel like your local neighbourhood.

Local guide
About Holland Park
Filled with mews streets, stucco mansions and green spaces, Holland Park is an idyllic neighbourhood sandwiched between Notting Hill, Kensington and Shepherd's Bush. Holland Park itself is one of London's most picturesque green spaces with a rich history. Today, the park boasts an open-air theatre and opera, Japanese-style Kyoto Gardens and a family playground. For dining, try Julie's and The Belvedere, and for a refreshing pint or aperol spritz, the Mitre and The Ladbroke Arms are a couple of great, classic British pubs in the area.
