We've put our collection of 1,800 world-class London homes through their paces by rigorously testing everything from tog to decibel levels.
Our expert home critics revealed that Kensington took the top spot for the number of homes boasting super-king beds (68%), perfect for those star-fish sleepers. Those with the finer things in mind should look no further than Greenwich, where 62% of Plum Guide homes are blessed with Egyptian cotton bed linen or 800+ thread count sheets.

Balham boasts the number of homes with the highest number of 13.5 tog level duvets (74%), providing the right amount of snug with just enough weight, whilst Canary Wharf took the crown for the neighbourhood with the highest standard of mattress (65%).
