Tucked away down a pastel-coloured, cobbled mews street, this quaint home offers you the chance of an idyllic London experience. Think more Richard Curtis than Guy Ritchie. The eclectic interiors are bursting with charm, and the impressive collection of art, artefacts, sculptures and rocks reflect the home's proximity to two of London's most popular museums, the V&A and Natural History Museum – with both little more than five minutes from your front door. While there's no oven in the kitchen, it's perfectly set up to prepare light meals. And if you need something more substantial, you're spoiled for choice when it comes to cafes and restaurants dotted along Brompton Road and clustered around South Kensington station – all within a ten-minute walk. From here, the Tube can whisk you out west to explore stunning Kew Gardens or transport you to London's trendy East End in a little over half an hour.

Local guide
About Knightsbridge
Opulence is the name of the game in Knightsbridge. This is London at its most grand and lavish: an area where many of your neighbours think nothing of picking up their daily groceries at Harrods and taking their dogs for a walk in Hyde Park before breakfast. Ideally located for exploring many of central London's key sights, Knightsbridge is also a mecca for high-end shopoholics. Thrifty types should look elsewhere!
