Directly across the street from Hyde Park, this apartment offers one of London's more enviable addresses – with Kensington Palace, the Natural History Museum, and the Science Museum all within easy reach. Inside, the mood is warm and considered, with worldly artwork, botanical motifs, and rich textures layered across three bedrooms. Tall French windows draw in the park-facing light, and the living and dining area makes a inviting place to gather at the end of a day spent exploring South Kensington's cultural quarter. Air conditioning keeps things comfortable when London decides to deliver on summer.

Home truths
Getting into the building requires climbing a staircase at the entrance before you reach the lift, so bear that in mind if you're travelling with heavy luggage or a pushchair. The lift itself is compact – it comfortably takes one person with a suitcase or a single buggy.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot. You'll need to request it in advance.
You'll find expensive artwork and ornaments in this home, so it might not be the best choice if you're travelling with young children.
Your host provides a starter supply of coffee, but you might want to bring your own to top this up.

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.
