The best of London is on your doorstep at this smart bolthole for one perched in Bayswater, one of the capital's most coveted residential districts. Flanked by grand pillars and charming balustrades, this handsome Victorian-era apartment building makes quite the first impression. Step inside, and the elegance continues with modern design, colourful artwork and a sleek marble bathroom. And while there's no kitchen to speak of (although there's an in-room coffee pod machine and kettle to kickstart your days), it's perfectly formed for a single traveller looking to combine work and play in the city. Keep on top of emails from your dedicated desk space. Or, for a change of scene, there's a downstairs lounge space with a friendly barista to keep the coffee flowing. Away from this smart home, the buzz of Notting Hill and the green spaces of Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are all within easy walking distance. Or hop on the underground, just a short walk away, and blaze a trail to another corner of this captivating city.
