A classical white-stucco building on Addison Road sets the scene for this elegant apartment, where high ceilings and rich period detailing make the living and dining room a inviting place to spend time. A private balcony off the kitchen is perfect for a quiet moment among the treetops, while the main bedroom offers calm, well-appointed rest. Outside, Holland Park – with its woodland gardens, peacocks, and Kyoto Garden – is a six-minute walk from the front door, and Portobello Road Market is around twenty-two minutes on foot.

Home truths
This is a duplex spread across two floors, so you'll be using the stairs regularly – whether moving between the bedrooms and living areas or heading to the kitchen.
Parking in this part of London can be tricky, so we recommend using the two nearby Underground stations – High Street Kensington and Holland Park – to get around the city.
Your host can provide a cot for little ones.
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.

Local guide
About Holland Park
Filled with mews streets, stucco mansions and green spaces, Holland Park is an idyllic neighbourhood sandwiched between Notting Hill, Kensington and Shepherd's Bush. Holland Park itself is one of London's most picturesque green spaces with a rich history. Today, the park boasts an open-air theatre and opera, Japanese-style Kyoto Gardens and a family playground. For dining, try Julie's and The Belvedere, and for a refreshing pint or aperol spritz, the Mitre and The Ladbroke Arms are a couple of great, classic British pubs in the area.
