Tucked inside a classic Victorian townhouse, this studio apartment makes a composed base for a couple exploring London. The double bedroom is calm and comfortable after a long day out, and the kitchen diner – with its natural light – is a decent spot to eat in rather than always heading out. The royal parks are within reach for a slower morning, and Buckingham Palace is about twenty minutes away by car when the mood for sightseeing strikes.

Home truths
This is a studio apartment, so you'll be living and sleeping in one space.
At 28 square metres, this is a compact studio – well designed for two, but there isn't much room to spread out, so pack light.
Your host has noted that access may occasionally be required during your stay for viewings or marketing purposes. You'll always receive at least 24 hours' notice in advance.

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.
