Spread across three floors, this modern London apartment puts you within a stone's throw of the beautiful green of Queen's Park. But even better is its proximity to public transport. Hop on a tube and visit the iconic sights like Buckingham Palace or Big Ben. Though the sleek kitchen is well stocked with the equipment you'd need for cooking meals, where's the fun in that? Stop off at nearby takeaways and enjoy your lunches alfresco on the decked terrace. This also happens to be the perfect place for an early morning coffee and contemplation.
