Meandering walks through neighbouring Hyde Park and shopping sprees in Knightsbridge and Mayfair's Bond Street are on offer at this deluxe home. Soho is nearby too, and if you need to catch a train Paddington Station is a mere 10-minute walk. Taking up the entirety of a golden-hued Georgian townhouse, a stay here means visiting London’s classiest neighbourhoods in style. Aspiring chefs will love the gourmet kitchen and pantry and the grand lounge inspires evenings socialising together. Bedrooms and reception rooms are spread across four levels inside and the main bathroom features a deep soaking tub. Plus, there’s a playroom and yoga space, and a roof terrace – a rarity in a spot this central.
