Overlooking a quintessential Kensington garden square, this home is a masterclass in simple elegance with its muted colour palette offset by abstract art, making for a peaceful retreat from city life. Wake up in the bright bedroom with its comfortable super-king bed, then enjoy your morning coffee in the sunny dining nook while taking in garden views from the sashed windows. When it comes to heading out and about, you've got sights aplenty right on your doorstep. From Harrods to nearby Hyde Park, this neighbourhood is the capital at its most lavish. Head down to Exhibition Road to check out the wealth of museums and art galleries on offer, before grabbing lunch at one of Kensington's fabulous restaurants. After a day of seeing the sights, come back for a relaxing evening on the sofa with a glass of wine, or head back out to experience the area's swish nightlife. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Local guide
About Knightsbridge
Opulence is the name of the game in Knightsbridge. This is London at its most grand and lavish: an area where many of your neighbours think nothing of picking up their daily groceries at Harrods and taking their dogs for a walk in Hyde Park before breakfast. Ideally located for exploring many of central London's key sights, Knightsbridge is also a mecca for high-end shopoholics. Thrifty types should look elsewhere!
