Owned by a well-known British actress, this garden apartment in Chelsea is welcoming and homely, with just the right amount of luxury and a lot of privacy. Having been featured in many interior magazines, you can expect modern elegance and a space to unwind, explore, and treat yourself to much-needed rest and relaxation – starting with an alfresco breakfast in the private garden. If you aren't in the mood to cook, you can always take to Hyde Park for a romantic walk before finding a restaurant or cafe for brunch. Stroll through Chelsea to see the rows of colourful terraced houses and stop at a bakery in Fulham to pick up a few pastries. Bring them home to enjoy as you find refuge in the peaceful garden with a cup of coffee. You can also hop on public transport to see Buckingham Palace or take a boat cruise down the Thames. When you’re not out exploring, you can select a book from the library and read outside at the little bistro table whilst enjoying a glass of wine or get cosy under the throw as you sink into the sofa in the living space. Put together light meals in the... kitchenette, watch movies snuggled together on the sofa, lie in late every morning, and enjoy a bubble bath when you need a moment to yourself.

Local guide
About Chelsea
In the 1960s, Chelsea's Kings Road was the stomping ground for the hippest young things in town. Nowadays, the area is more conservative in its reputation - you'll share the immaculate pavements with affluent business people from around the world and plenty of blow-dried ladies of leisure. It attracts this set for good reason - it's very central and the period houses that line the streets are charming. Sloane Square...
