A secluded garden in central London is rare, and this Little Venice apartment makes the most of it – bi-fold doors in the living room fold back completely, and the third bedroom opens onto the same patch of green. When the weather turns, a dedicated cinema room with a large projector screen offers a convincing alternative. Warwick Avenue Tube is a five-minute walk, the canal-side neighbourhood with its cafes and independent shops is three minutes away, and Little Venice's picturesque waterways are a ten-minute stroll. All in all, we think this is a comfortable base tucked away in one of London’s quieter – and most charming – locales.
