With its exotic furnishings and a kaleidoscope of colour, this home in Belsize Park Gardens stands out from the crowd. We weren't surprised at all when we learnt that the owner of this Aladdin's cave is an esteemed designer renowned for his bold use of colour and form. Every room has its own intriguing personality to discover. From the living room with its luxurious velvet sofa and feathery plumes of dried grasses to the playful main bedroom with its chandelier, palm tree and French doors onto a private balcony – there's so much to stimulate the senses. There's also a delightful garden with a pergola-covered seating area with a rattan-effect sofa – perfect for cocktails with your family, friends or business colleagues. Situated on a leafy street in affluent Belsize Park, this sumptuous retreat is just a short walk from an array of stylish eateries, chic boutiques and tempting bakeries and delis. It’s also less than a mile from the beautiful meadows and woods of Hampstead Heath. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Local guide
About Hampstead
Hampstead is pretty irresistable. It's not right in the centre of London but it's a real oasis to come back to at the end of a day of hectic sightseeing and there's plenty to explore here in its own right. Your neighbours will be a mix of affluent intellectual types: London's top psychiatrists, book publishers, writers etc. They are attracted by Hampstead's village atmosphere, vast array of characterful period houses, independent shops and restaurants and, last but by no means least, the delights of the vast green expanses of Hampstead Heath, with its much-loved wild swimming ponds.
