Recently redesigned, this opulent Chelsea home manages to maintain all of its yesteryear elegance and charm while adding an extra level of luxury and modern comfort that's perfectly suited for the discerning West London renter. Cosy up in the ornate living room with velvet furnishings, stripy lime green walls and colourful paintings – not to mention the rustic wood-burning stove – the centrepiece of the space. There's a real air of sophistication and refinement here, reflecting the affluent way of life outside. Enter into the country-house styled kitchen with mellow yellow walls, marble worktops and antique china plates. It's a bright and airy space to plate up home-cooked perfection or simply plan out the afternoon's tourist itinerary – and with so much to see and do around here, planning might not be such a bad idea. Take a leafy stroll through the scenic communal gardens, before stopping off for a flat white in a classy café nearby. Wander down cobbled mews, boutique-lined streets and narrow alleys filled with designer brands. Get your culture fix at the V&A and Natural History Museum, just a sixteen-minute walk from your door – from there, the beautiful Kensington Palace and Gardens are only twenty minutes away too, so you're perfectly placed for however you'd like to spend your time here. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

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...
