Settle into this fantastically located two-bedroom flat in London's sought-after South Kensington. Not only will you stay in a comfortable and characterful home, but you're within easy walking distance of many of the English capital's headline-grabbing sights. An open layout living space includes a kitchen, seating area and a dining table for four in the bay window at the far end. Modern furnishings sit below sky-high ceilings adorned with intricate mouldings, offering a hint of the building's history. Elsewhere, the main bedroom features an imposing four-poster bed, while the smaller second guestroom makes up for its more compact size by offering an en-suite shower room. Your South Ken location makes exploring London a breeze. The Natural History Museum and V&A are within a ten-minute walk, while The Design Museum is a mile away. And once you've explored the annals of history, the leafy expanse of Hyde Park and Kensington Palace Gardens are under fifteen minutes from your front door. London is far too big to explore totally on foot, so your proximity to Gloucester Road Tube station should be helpful. Jump on the Piccadilly Line and head into the heart of Theatreland, a twelve-minute tube ride away, or ride the Circle Line... to Liverpool St for a night out in London's East End.

About South Kensington
South Kensington is probably most famous for being home to some of London’s top museums (The Victoria & Albert Museum, Natural History Museum, and Science Museum) and so you don’t need to wander far to see some of the city’s greatest treasures. World-class Hyde Park is just a stone’s throw away and there are plenty of great bars and cafes on the delightful pedestrianised end of Exhibition Road, packed full...

Learning Time
When it comes to culture, South Ken's museum quarter won't be beaten! Not only is there a lot of variety, however, but there's a lot of free entry places where you can view the permanent collections at The National History Museum, the V&A, and the Science Museum. Down the road is the Royal Albert Hall, and easy access to Hyde Park.

Why bother going out? Just spend your time wandering round the apartment, getting lost in all of the art.
