Designed to fit in with its salubrious surroundings, this chic South Kensington apartment is blessed with an outstanding location directly opposite the iconic Natural History Museum. With its white walls, grey kitchen cabinets and marble dining table, it could all feel a bit one-note, but the carefully selected artwork, houseplants and velvet sofa add some visual interest to the interior. In addition to the museums on your doorstep, the flat is a short walk from the trendy cafes and fine dining restaurants lining Brompton Road, with Harrods and the fashion boutiques of Knightsbridge offering a high-end shopping experience within a mile of your front door.
