Modern elegance is the name of the game here in this ideally located apartment between Bayswater and Paddington stations. Silver hues and a muted palette come together in perfect, sophisticated harmony with swish feature walls, sleek furnishings and large windows that fill the space with light. We love the plump sofa in the living room and the marble-topped coffee table, perfect for kicking back with a cup of coffee and your newspaper in the morning. The bedroom too is gracefully pared-back, and feels distinctly like a boutique hotel with its luxurious bedding and draped window giving way to Bayswater views. When you’re not relaxing on the sofa, gathering around the dining table for intimate meals or taking long soaks in the tub, go out and explore your surroundings. Kensington Gardens’ famous Peter Pan statue is a ten-minute walk away – as is leafy Hyde Park – while Portobello Road and Notting Hill are a twenty-five-minute stroll from your door. Make sure to amble around Little Venice, too, with its inviting canal-side cafes and pubs, a fifteen-minute walk away.
