Tucked into a leafy garden square in Earl's Court, this apartment has something that's hard to find in central London – a private patio accessed directly from two of the bedrooms. Inside, the kitchen and dining area connects naturally into a generous living room anchored by a corner sofa, making it a comfortable base for evenings in. Earl's Court Underground station is close by, putting Heathrow and the West End on a direct line, while the museums of South Kensington and the boutiques of Chelsea are all within easy reach.

Home truths
This home is currently listed for sale, so there’s a rare chance your host might need to carry out viewings during your stay – advance notice would be given.
This apartment is on the lower ground floor, so expect some steps down from street level when arriving with luggage.
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend making the most of Earl's Court station – it's well-placed for getting around the city and out to Heathrow without a car.

Local guide
About Earl's Court
Kensington’s more down-to-earth neighbour, Earl’s Court is a well-rounded base to explore West London – and beyond. Relaxed restaurants, traditional pubs and leafy side streets characterise the neighbourhood. Make sure you visit The Troubadour, an iconic music venue that hosted Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell in its prime. You’re more likely to walk in on a lowkey jazz session these days, performed under a decades-old collection of instruments...
