Georgian London survives in this beautiful snug of a home. Sit on the Chesterfield sofa below framed tapestries, warmed by a crackling wood-burner, or stand on the Juliet balcony, sipping whiskey and gazing regally at the neighbouring terraces. Full-height windows, fur drapes and a four-poster bed further the classy feel, while cool Tom Dixon brass lights seamlessly add some modern pizzazz. Though the kitchenette is best for small meals, many excellent restaurants await nearby. We would bear in mind that the home has old walls, so it's not the quietest space.
