If you want to find country vibes in the heart of London, Fulham might be your new favourite. Pick up fresh fare from the local organic farmer's market, do brunch at an independent café, then stroll through a leafy park. And five minutes beyond the quiet street of this home are the lively drinking holes and upmarket restaurants of Fulham Broadway – just in case you fancy a pint. With a country-style kitchen, soft furnishings and foliage-covered patio, this garden flat has all the charm of a cottage. Let’s start in the lounge, where a colour palette of pastels and cream creates a homely vibe where you feel less like a guest, and more like a resident. We love the colourful artwork adorning the walls, with a mixture of gilded and wooden frames reminding you of rustic charm, but also the opulent neighbourhood. Pour yourself a glass of fizz and head out to explore the garden. Through sliding double doors, welcome to your dreamy private grounds. Secluded and shaded by beautiful magnolia, mulberry and fig trees, it’s hard to believe that you’re in the capital city. There’s even an alfresco dining patio where you can serve up Earl Grey in the morning, or a Sunday roast on a lazy, weekend afternoon.
