With its floor-to-ceiling windows and elegant grey colour scheme, this home in South Kensington has a definite air of grandeur to it. Its double-height ceilings add to this flat’s feeling of space and sophistication, with wood floors, an ornate chandelier and plush furnishings in the living room creating a sense of luxury. The bedrooms too are understated yet stylish, with large mirrors and tasteful ornaments creating an immediate feeling of calm and relaxation. You couldn’t be more ideally located, too, to see some of the city’s most iconic sights. Stroll ten minutes to visit London’s Museum Mile or wander through leafy Hyde Park, twenty minutes away on foot. With countless restaurants and bars on your doorstep, you’ve got plenty of choices when it comes to entertainment. We won't blame you for wanting to pass it up though for a chilled-out night in your chic city pad (which has a twenty-four hour manager), sitting pretty on the plump sofa with a glass of wine

World-class Hyde Park is just a stone’s throw away and there are plenty of great bars and cafes on the delightful pedestrianised end of Exhibition Road, packed full...
