Located in a gorgeous mews, just a fifteen-minute walk to Hyde Park, this impeccable home is pale-painted and poised. Pay close attention to the artwork, hand-turned crockery and stone worktops and you’ll notice a cohesive nature-inspired design. In the living space, among the still-life paintings and seascape depictions, the Queen Anne sofa calls for a cup of tea and a biscuit after lengthy excursions getting to know your locale. Choose to take breakfast on the roof terrace. Once you’re surrounded by leafy bamboo and settled beneath the parasol, central London feels a million miles away – and that’s the beauty of this place. When you’re ready and raring to go, step out of your front door and into the thick of it. It’s a ten-minute walk to the renowned Kensington High Street, where upscale cafes, restaurants and bars are regular haunts of West London’s well-heeled folk. Catch the District Line from Gloucester Road station to reach the heart of the city in no more than thirty minutes. Please note all stays of 10 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

About South Kensington
South Kensington is probably most famous for being home to some of London’s top museums (The Victoria & Albert Museum, Natural History Museum, and Science Museum) and so you don’t need to wander far to see some of the city’s greatest treasures. 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...
