Cornerstone effortlessly blends modern design with original Victorian features and mid-century aesthetics, and feels stylish, cosy and welcoming all at once. Striking the perfect balance between comfortable and cool, a casual sofa and armchair sit alongside a contemporary grey rug and a bright pink velvet ottoman. The bay windows and parquet flooring are also offset by a modern, fully-equipped kitchen and two luxury en-suite bathrooms. We loved the unique moulding on the living room ceiling, and the private terrace – an added bonus for London homes.

Home truths
The living area isn't huge - it would most comfortably sit three guests on the sofa and armchair
While there is a lift, it stops a half a level up from the flat so you don't really avoid many stairs as the flat is on the first floor
There is a low railing on the terrace so it's not a home for those travelling with young children

Local guide
About Holland Park
Filled with mews streets, stucco mansions and green spaces, Holland Park is an idyllic neighbourhood sandwiched between Notting Hill, Kensington and Shepherd's Bush. Holland Park itself is one of London's most picturesque green spaces with a rich history. Today, the park boasts an open-air theatre and opera, Japanese-style Kyoto Gardens and a family playground. For dining, try Julie's and The Belvedere, and for a refreshing pint or aperol spritz, the Mitre and The Ladbroke Arms are a couple of great, classic British pubs in the area.

Have a pint at London’s most colourful pub
Literally covered from top to bottom in billowing flowers of every colour, it’s easy to forget that the Churchill Arms is also a great pub. Grab a pint & soak up almost 300 years of drinking history.

Visit Sambourne House
Step back in time to 1899 and visit the Sambourne Family Home for the opportunity to see how this family lived. You've got the option of a conventional tour, or if you're looking for a livielier tour, a costumed tour will provide a dramatised account based on Marion Sambourne's diary.
Dine at The Ivy Kensington Brasserie
An urbane, neighbourhood-style brasserie offering accessible Modern British eats. Enjoy great vegetarian options, lovely tea, and fabulous service. Avoid the pancakes though!
Discovery traditional craftsmanship at Japan House
If you fancy a trip to Japan but are not keen on the long haul flight, everything from the tiles to the food (cooked up by renowned chef Shimizu Akira) will have its roots there - and no jet lag.
