Kensington Gardens sits directly across the street from this South Kensington apartment, with Hyde Park, Kensington Palace, and the Royal Albert Hall all within easy reach on foot. Inside, the living and dining space is generous enough to settle into properly – a large corner sofa, a round table for unhurried dinners, and everything in one well-considered room. Best of all, there's a private courtyard that makes it easy to forget you're in the heart of central London. Three Underground stations are all within walking distance, too, including South Kensington itself.

Home truths
The apartment is on the lower ground floor, reached via narrow stairs from street level. There is a lift, but it's quite small and too compact for a pram – so if you're travelling with a buggy, factor that in.
Your host can provide a cot for little ones upon request – just bring your own cot linen.
The third bedroom is quite small and lacks a window. The bed is also pushed against the wall, making it more comfortable for one adult or two children.
While we love the overall design of this home, it is lacking in natural light since it's a lower-ground-floor apartment.

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.
