A stay in this charming and elegant home will have you less than five minutes’ walk from the banks of the Thames and the peace and quiet of Chelsea Physic Garden, while the green open space and iconic pagoda of Battersea Park lies just across the river. In the other direction, King’s Road, with its chic boutiques and bustling restaurants, is less than a 10-minute walk away and Sloane Square tube station can connect you to the rest of London should you fancy some sightseeing. We love how the classic design of this one-bedroom home reflects the stately neighbourhood it sits in – period pieces populate the living and dining room, well illuminated by the gingham-fringed bay window. In the kitchen, however, contemporary design rules the day, and you’re sure to find everything you need behind the calming taupe-coloured cabinets. There’s even an office for any remote work that needs to get done. Afterward, pour yourself a gin and tonic to enjoy in the classic sitting room, before falling asleep in the king-sized bed. Please note all stays of 10 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

About Chelsea
In the 1960s, Chelsea's Kings Road was the stomping ground for the hippest young things in town. Nowadays, the area is more conservative in its reputation - you'll share the immaculate pavements with affluent business people from around the world and plenty of blow-dried ladies of leisure. It attracts this set for good reason - it's very central and the period houses that line the streets are charming. Sloane Square...
