Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
With a kitchen-dining space that’s lifted straight from the pages of a sleek design magazine and the rest of the interiors on the right side of kitsch, this eclectic home is a playful space in well-to-do West London. Filled with whimsical fabrics, intentionally clashing patterns and hand-selected antique furniture, your host has expertly made this place look and feel personal. To the rear of the house, there’s a contemporary casual seating area, illuminated by an all-glass skylight. Throw open the sliding doors and slink out into the tidy garden for a cup of tea or glass of wine in the fresh air. Get to know your North Kensington neighbourhood with a walk through the leafy streets. A short fifteen-minute amble takes you to laid-back Kensal Green, where you’ll find gastro pubs and a small collection of shops and cafes. The famous Portobello Road Market is a fifteen-minute stroll to the east and Ladbroke Grove tube station is just a minute more veering slightly south. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
