This eclectic family home makes for a superb North Kensington. With the travel-inspired decor and a park just across the road, it’s easy to forget that you’re in London, though the location is spot-on for sightseeing. The nearest bus stop is a three-minute walk and Latimer Road tube station is ten minutes away, so getting into the thick of things is a breeze. We love the cinema room in the basement for rainy days, and the shaded private garden is bliss in the summer months.
