Tucked away one of London's most sought-after postcodes, this Georgian mews home has plenty of character and style. Within close proximity to many of London's main museums, spend your days soaking up the culture and history of the area, or jump on the tube to be taken to London's main attractions in minutes. Kensington itself is home to an array of chic cafes and international eateries, which will prove very convenient if you fancy stopping for a bite to eat on the way home. With an outdoor patio to the front of the house, wind down on summer evenings with a glass of wine while taking in the original architecture, before heading inside for a long hot bubble bath. Wind down on the velvet sofa in the living space until it's time to get some rest in the comfortable beds.
