With light streaming in from its tall, elegant windows and its Hyde Park location, it's impossible not to fall immediately in love with this home. Just around the corner from one of London’s most iconic parks, there’s plenty of nature and open space nearby while still being right in the heart of the action. In fact, you can walk to many of the city’s finest attractions from here – think the world-renowned museums of South Kensington, the famous shopping of Oxford Street, and the high-class eateries of Mayfair. You’re also mere minutes from live music at the Royal Albert Hall and just over 30 minutes’ walk from Kings Road and Chelsea. Indoor plants and complementary green accents help bring the outside in, while the vibrant red of the luxurious sofas in the living room is echoed in the master bedroom. Elegant and bright, this home is also fun-loving and playful and would be perfect for a family or group of friends. And we’re sure you’ll love this home’s pièce de résistance – the outdoor terrace that has alfresco breakfasts and evening drinks written all over it.

Local guide
About Kensington
Affluent and incredibly central, Kensington is a great base for exploring London on foot. Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are on your doorstep and so are the Victoria and Albert, Science, and Natural History Museums. The streets are attractive and well maintained (grand, white stucco facades aplenty) and your neighbours will be a wealthy, conservative set. Lots of positives but probably not the place to let your hair down.
