Overlooking the prestigious Hyde Park, this plush apartment is the perfect place from which to enjoy London. Inside, there’s a move-right-in feel with its velvety textures and soft furnishings and just enough panache to not be too pedestrian – check out the funky dog portraits hung in the living space. Wake yourself up with a cup of tea from the comfort of your large double bed or nip out onto the balcony for some fresh air and sunshine. While there’s a streamlined kitchen for knocking up home-cooked dinners, you’ve a personal concierge service at the touch of your fingertips. Arrange for a private chef to take the reins or request a driver to drop you off at that restaurant you’ve been dying to try. After a mood-boosting workout in the on-site gym, take to South Kensington’s affluent streets and check out the collections at the Victoria and Albert Museum, less than a fifteen-minute walk away. Spend balmy afternoons boating on the Serpentine or strolling through Kensington Gardens. And when evening falls, get dressed in your best and watch an unforgettable performance at the Royal Albert Hall – no more than five minutes from your doorstep.

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.
