Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A rare find for two in London – this apartment opens directly onto a walled garden, giving you a quiet, leafy retreat that feels a world away from the city. Breakfast with the doors flung open onto the patio, then catch the afternoon sun in the courtyard as the day slows down. Inside, the bathtub is a welcome sight after long days on foot, and the double bedroom keeps things intimate for a couples' escape.

Home truths
The living room windows don't have blinds – though privacy isn't an issue as the windows face onto the private garden rather than the street.
This apartment is currently on the market, so occasional viewings may take place during your stay. You'll receive at least 24 to 48 hours' notice in advance.
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living space.

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.
