Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located just an eight-minute stroll from Sloane Square in the heart of Chelsea, this apartment places the delights of West London right at your fingertips. The apartment itself is studio-style, so it lacks living space and some home comforts. The compact kitchen is also only suitable for preparing light bites. Although we still think it's a great spot to drop your bags and get out exploring. In fact, the location is perfect for frequenting fashionable shops, award-winning eateries and popular entertainment venues along King's Road just minutes away. Knightsbridge (for Harrods) and the Saatchi Gallery, Natural History Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum are within easy walking distance. Sloane Square and South Kensington are the nearest tube stations which are both about a 10-minute walk away.

Home truths
This home is located within a residential building with a shared entrance and lobby. Expect to bump into other residents during your stay. Given this, it's possible you'll hear neighbours.
As it's a studio apartment, the bed is part of the living space. The kitchenette is also compact and better suited to light bites.
This home was purpose-built for rentals, so it's not the most soulful or charming space.
The door lock at this home is finicky.
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.

World-class Hyde Park is just a stone’s throw away and there are plenty of great bars and cafes on the delightful pedestrianised end of Exhibition Road, packed full...
