Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A self-contained feel is rare in London, and this apartment delivers it quietly – its own entrance, three bedrooms sleeping up to six, and enough bathrooms to keep mornings running smoothly. The courtyard terrace is a real find, catching the afternoon sun in a way that central London rarely affords. Inside, there's a dedicated desk if work follows you on the road, and in-home laundry for longer stays. Location details are light here, but the apartment stands well on its own as a comfortable, well-considered base for a group visiting the city.

Local guide
About Chelsea
In the 1960s, Chelsea's Kings Road was the stomping ground for the hippest young things in town. Nowadays, the area is more conservative in its reputation - you'll share the immaculate pavements with affluent business people from around the world and plenty of blow-dried ladies of leisure. It attracts this set for good reason - it's very central and the period houses that line the streets are charming. Sloane Square...
