Cool couple seeking a romantic retreat? Here’s one for you: a vibrant apartment in emerging north-west London. Architect owner Oliver has designed it, using lots of reclaimed wood and incorporating neat design touches – like concrete blocks become bedside tables, or bubble lights above the Saarinen table. His plant–lined private terrace suits summer evenings, while a window-side bathtub stands ready for rainy days. The surrounding neighbourhood, pleasant and quiet, is within pleasant strolling distance of Notting Hill and lovely Little Venice.

The closest tube stations are both 7 mins walking distance, a good reason to explore both Queens Park and Westbourne Grove area.

The central heating is controlled by the owner – please ask your host about this.
It is not an obvious destination, but it's surrounded by several classic and trendy neighbourhoods like Notting Hill and Maida Vale.
