Designed to an impeccable standard with a vibrant colour palette, this is a high-end, unique home in West London’s leafy Ladbroke Grove. The bright velvet sofas in the communal area provide a vintage feel to the space and lovers of modernism will appreciate the impressive art pieces displayed throughout the home. Outside, there’s a brilliant blue patio that adds a great sense of light to its adjoining rooms – it also makes for an excellent spot to sip your morning coffee. When you’re not cooking up something tasty in the pink painted kitchen, you’ll be brunching in Notting Hill’s chic cafes, a ten-minute walk away – or dining on Michelin star cuisine in well-to-do Mayfair, reached in twenty minutes by car. The famous Portobello Road Market is less than a fifteen-minute stroll from your doorstep and Ladbroke Grove tube station, connecting you to all four corners of the capital, is reached in a mere ten minutes on foot.

In the heart of Barons Court, this apartment opens its doors to a refreshing city stay. You’ll receive complimentary refreshments on arrival and your host provides basic essentials to get you started. The living room works perfectly for relaxing evenings at home, while the bedrooms make it easy to switch off and unwind. Outside, you’ll be perfectly placed for adventures across London. From here, it’s just a short walk to the nearest cafes and restaurants as well as the famous Queen’s Club. It’s also possible to walk to Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park in just twenty-minutes. 


The Way of Light 

Rain Shower

Balcony

Elegant and sublimely modern, this bright apartment in Chelsea features a beautifully curated interior design and plenty of natural light. Pops of colour in the living room’s cushions and abstract art add a dash of fun to the sophisticated furnishings, while two sets of French doors open up to let the breeze flow through freely. We love that one set of doors opens onto a wrought-iron balcony, a quintessential Kensington touch and makes for an ideal spot for breakfast or sundowners. With a comfortable, pared-back bedroom and a luxurious rainfall shower to wake up to, you’ll feel recharged and ready for a day of sightseeing. Walk seven minutes to shop along the famous King’s Road, or stroll twenty minutes to visit South Kensington’s world-class museums. With plenty of restaurants, bars and boutiques in your neighbourhood too, you’ll want for nothing when it comes to fun and entertainment.

Spread over three floors, this stylish mews house not only affords you plenty of space but also puts you in a prime position to explore some of the capital’s most celebrated sights, including Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens and Little Venice. The secondary living room downstairs has a cinema set-up – ideal for hosting movie nights – and the large kitchen will suit chefs of the group when you’re not out sampling the local restaurant scene. With a trio of carefully curated bedrooms to boot and a cot on hand should you be travelling with little ones, this home is a great choice for a stress-free city stay. 


The Rose Mews

Tucked away on the top floor, this bohemian style attic apartment presents a quiet and secluded spot with leafy views out onto the neighbourhood below. Best of all you'll be just an eight-minute stroll away from Portobello Road and arguably one of the world's greatest vintage flea markets. With Notting Hill also within short walking distance, you'll have a vast array of incredible boutiques, bars and eateries at your fingertips. Pop over the road to Layla bakery for coffee and pastries each morning to bring back to the home's welcoming ambience filled with a homely charm. Centred around the exposed brickwork chimney breast and classic mantlepiece feature, the living area offers a cosy and contemporary space to kick back between excursions and your time spent out and about in central London. From the quirky art pieces to the bold yet cool and welcoming colour scheme, this Kensington pad is a rusticly glamourous base from which to take in the very best of what London has to offer. 



Attic Glam

There aren't many words more pleasing to hear together than 'Notting Hill' and 'townhouse', and this whitewashed home is a prime example of why. Not only is the location perfect for exploring the galleries, parks and restaurants of West London, but the interior design exudes a timeless elegance. Whether you're hosting dinner parties or soaking in the pastel pink bathroom's tub, you'll find it easy to relax away from the hustle and bustle of the city streets.

Whoops-a-Daisy

Breakfast Included

Located in the heart of Notting Hill, this beautiful mews house is an excellent base in London. It’s just a two-minute walk from the famous Portobello Road, and is close to all the shops, bars, and restaurants that lively Notting Hill has to offer. The house is attractive and comfortable, set up with everything you might need during your stay in the Big Smoke. Four bathrooms – one for each bedroom – mean you won’t waste valuable sightseeing time waiting for a shower in the morning. 

Portobello Place

Lift Access

Nestled between South and West Kensington, historic Earl’s Court is home to this elegant flat. Five minutes from the busy tube and urban sprawl of the city, the organic colours of this home create a much-needed sense of calm. Think stone-coloured fabrics, marbled walls, and views onto nearby greenery. We love the huge windows in the living space, illuminating the modern, minimal decor and the striking art above the sofa. After a night’s sleep in the luxurious beds, why not have the host deliver breakfast to the door – excellent coffee, fresh pastries, and brunch options await you. If you’re in need of further pampering, they can also arrange wellness activities like an in-house massage or personal training session. After making the most of the indoors, take a stroll into West London for art, culture, and green spaces aplenty. Head out for lunch in neighbouring Chelsea, browse an exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery for the afternoon, followed by a tranquil stroll at dusk in Holland Park’s Kyoto Garden. On the way home, you’ll have to stop in for a whisky sour at a speakeasy-style cocktail bar in Earl’s Court – or a pint in a traditional pub if you want to drink like a local.

On the prettiest street imaginable, this luxurious home allows families to live the West London dream in the heart of Chelsea. You’re moments away from galleries, boutiques and trendy restaurants as King’s Road is a one-minute walk. Spread across three floors, there are two living rooms so the family can spread out – one for entertaining by the fireplace, and one for reclining in front of the big TV. For a quiet moment, a small office space in the base is secluded away from the rest of the house. There’s plenty of room for the bustle of breakfast time in the big kitchen. A wall of mirrors gives a good sense of space in the formal dining room inside, while the woven wooden walls around the outdoor terrace offer a bit of privacy should you wish to dine alfresco. 

Prince Luxe

DVD Player

Stair Gates

A short walk from London’s iconic Notting Hill neighbourhood, this family-sized apartment offers a stylish and convenient city pad. If you want to hit the market stalls and antique shops of Portobello road it’s a twenty-minute stroll, or head to the nearest Tube station (an eight-minute walk) and be there in three minutes. The outside is in keeping with the bay-windowed, traditional brick homes on the tree-lined street. But, inside, you’ll find a haven of modernity awaits, starting with the striking blue artwork in the living room and finishing off with every appliance and gizmo you need for self-catering in the kitchen. Though the raw wood beam above the fireplace adds a bit of rustic charm. Each bedroom is a plush medley of burgundy velvet comforters and dove-grey walls to lull you off to sleep.

In the prestigious neighbourhood of Belgravia, this elegant townhouse is spread over five floors with a small rooftop terrace and three en-suites. We think it's a great choice for a family or group of couples travelling together – you won't get much more central than this, with iconic hotspots like Buckingham Palace and Battersea Park within walking distance. Sloane Square Station is just minutes away on foot and makes for easy exploration, and you'll find a wealth of local shops and restaurants in the surrounding streets.

The Park Keeper

If you're after a quintessential London stay, look no further. You'll find this apartment in fashionable Kensington, surrounded by the neighbourhood's famous red brick buildings. Hyde Park, Royal Albert Hall, Kensington Palace, and Kensington High Street station are all just a short stroll away, making exploring a cinch. The decor inside matches the chic location – think ornamental fireplaces, a bright living area, and a well-appointed kitchen should you need to rustle up dinner at home. With the option to arrange the second bedroom as two singles or a double, it's also super flexible for families – though it's worth noting that this home is only suitable for children 8 years old and above.

Red Brick Wonderland

Positioned in an enviable location, a 2-minute stroll from Hyde Park, this lovely white stucco-fronted apartment has easy access to Little Venice canals and Paddington Station. A leisurely walk across the expansive greenery of Hyde Park takes you to the myriad museums of South Kensington – the V&A, Natural History, and Science Museum. There are plenty of chic eateries, bars and cafés on your doorstep, but the natural minimalism and calming interior of this apartment might invite you to spend an evening in. Raw wood accents and houseplants brighten up the pristine white walls. The dining table sits in a sunny bay window, offering the perfect spot for breakfast before a big day out. Just off the master bedroom, French doors open up to a tiny, flower-filled balcony with a couple of bistro chairs to take in the sun and a twisting spiral staircase that leads to a shared roof terrace – a rarity in central London.

Set in an elegant Kensington Olympia neighbourhood, this home is an ideal base for families keen to visit London yet stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Scattered with homely touches throughout, there’s even a charming study here, perfect for those needing to catch up on work during their stay. But, the cherry on the cake for us is the outdoor space. The private pool, a rarity in London, is just the ticket for cooling off and simply unwinding in the summer months. And if it’s more fresh air you fancy, you can reach Holland Park in ten minutes on foot, or Hyde Park in fifteen.

Subtle Splendour

Looking for a West London retreat? This contemporary Maida Vale apartment is the perfect spot. Stroll along the canals of Little Venice or explore Notting Hill’s boutiques, both within walking distance. With excellent transport links nearby, the city's cultural attractions are within easy reach, too. Inside, the space is thoughtfully designed. While one bedroom is on the snug side, it opens onto a charming courtyard – ideal for morning coffee or unwinding after a day out. Whether you’re here for a weekend or a longer stay, this home offers the perfect balance of city buzz and relaxation.

The Maida Vale Hideaway

Throws

This stylish Notting Hill apartment on Westbourne Grove could easily grace the pages of any leading interior design magazine. We adore the period features, such as the ornate cornices and sash windows, along with the herringbone wood floors, chic marble kitchen and bathroom. Plan your day in London from the curvy, velvet sofa after breakfast at your large dining table with its comfy rattan chairs.

First of all, we'd suggest browsing the gorgeous boutiques of Westbourne Grove, right on your doorstep. The antique stalls of Portobello Road Market are around a fourteen-minute walk away, while it's a few more minutes to the Museum of Brands. Or culture lovers can head to the Gate Theatre, nine minutes on foot. On top of all this, Notting Hill Station is a ten-minute saunter if you want to explore the rest of what London has to offer. This home is perfect for a couple or solo traveller wanting the full Notting Hill experience.

Single-Level Home

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is one of the most – if not the most – desirable areas of the capital, and this apartment puts you right at the heart of this swanky slice of the city. It's located on the first floor of a traditional London townhouse, nestled on a tranquil, tree-lined avenue that's just around the corner from bustling Sloane Square. The home wears its Victorian history with pride – inside, you'll find tall windows, high moulded ceilings and a decorative fireplace to remind you of days gone by. The marble bathroom adds another hint of luxury, and the kitchen is ideal for cooking dinner with fresh ingredients from one of the local artisan markets. Exploring on foot is easy from here, with many of the famous museums within walking distance, and plenty of upmarket restaurants and boutiques to enjoy. And, with a Tube station just a minute's walk away, getting around the rest of the city is smooth sailing. 

Chelsea Girl

This charming penthouse offers a beautiful blend of traditional and modern styles. Perfect for a family on a London stay, there’s plenty of room for everyone to spread out across the two floors, while the serene bedrooms promise a restful sleep after a busy day of sightseeing. Location-wise, you can enjoy the open green spaces of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, just ten minutes away, or visit one of London’s iconic museums. Fancy a spot of retail therapy? Harrods is a mere seven-minute walk from the apartment, and a must-visit while in London. 


London Tales

Games Console

The allure of this apartment is undeniable. With its calm aesthetic, luxurious features and elegant design, every detail has been considered to bring you a magical London getaway. There’s also a private balcony for your morning coffee or tea, while the cosy snug provides a sweet spot for movie nights. And when it comes to explorations across the city, you’ll be spoiled for choice. From here, it’s just a short walk to Paddington Station, while Hyde Park and Notting Hill are both within easy reach. 


The Midnight Wonder

Tucked down a historic cobbled mews, this home is anything but boring. Don't be fooled by the cottage-core exterior – inside, the design is all about contemporary touches and sleek details. One of our favourite rooms is the main bathroom, which has a soaker tub and two lavish showers. There's also a second (albeit slightly smaller) suite, so nobody will feel left out. Upstairs, the living area opens onto a Juliet balcony with views of the mews, and there's a large kitchen ideal for culinarians. The cherry on top is the location. You're just a stone's throw from Harrods, Hyde Park, and the many eateries and shops in swanky Knightsbridge.

Knightsbridge Mews

This Paddington apartment has space to work from home and excellent transport links across the city. It's a great find for business travellers, though families and friend groups will also feel right at home. Keep in mind that the living space is on the smaller side, and it's on the third floor of a building without a lift. Even so, given the location – a five-minute walk from Paddington Station and twenty minutes from Hyde Park – we think that's a fair compromise.

The Paddington Pick

There's a lot to love about this cosy apartment. For starters, the design is equal parts quirky and charming. We're big fans of the plush pink sofa – it's just the ticket after a long day on your feet – while the two sumptuous bedrooms ensure a good night's sleep. Another perk is the private garden, which has summer sundowners written all over it. Last but not least, the location is unbeatable. Earl's Court is striking distance from Notting Hill, Hyde Park, Kensington and Chelsea, and all the major London museums. And, with a Tube station just a short walk away, zipping around London is a breeze.

Magenta & Brass

You might think that minimalism is easy to get right, but it's not just a case of taking everything away and admiring the emptiness. This apartment in West London shows you how it should be done. The stark white walls and floorboards create a soothing ambience, but it also means that the carefully selected artwork, houseplants and statement furnishings — including an alien-looking chair in the bedroom by designer Tom Dixon — really stand out. Overall, it manages to strike the sought-for balance between artistic coherence and somewhere you can actually feel at home within. The outside of the building is traditionally pretty and part of a charming crescent sat opposite the entrance to Brompton Cemetery, one of the 'Magnificent Seven' built in the nineteenth century. Further afield, there are boutiques and upmarket restaurants on the nearby King's Road, which can be reached in under twenty minutes on foot. For direct trains to central London, Earl's Court underground station is just round the corner, getting you into the city in just fifteen minutes.

Provista

Nestled in leafy South Kensington, this fifth-floor apartment couldn't be better located. Museums, coffee shops, and gourmet restaurants are just a short walk away, as is Gloucester Road Underground, giving easy access to the rest of the city. The decor is a tad minimalist, but you'll have everything you need for a comfortable stay – a bright living area, a well-appointed kitchen, and a cosy bedroom with an en-suite soaker tub. Despite having a lift in the building, you'll still need to climb a few stairs. Children may also be welcome upon request, but we think it's best for a couple's getaway.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Kensington Vistas

Paid Parking

Amidst the regal streets of Knightsbridge, this apartment sets the tone for a magical stay in London. Outside, you can wind your way to Hyde Park, indulge yourself in nearby Harrods and admire iconic sights like Buckingham Palace. Paid parking is available nearby and it’s just a five-minute walk to Knightsbridge tube station – making it easy to get across the city. When it’s time to unwind, this calm sanctuary invites you to relax in the private garden or get cosy on the sofa. There’s a piano, books, board games, a Nespresso coffee machine and plenty of space for remote workers. 

The Moon Pearl

Let's not beat around the bush – the main reason we love this flat is the proximity to Hyde Park. It's just across the street and you can spot the entrance from the bay windows and Juliet balconies. Enjoy morning jogs and evening strolls along the leafy pathways, stopping to admire the flowers in Kensington Gardens or watch the ducks paddling in the Serpentine. There's no doubt this is an enviable spot, close to restaurants, pubs and cafes. Both Paddington Station and the lively Notting Hill are within walking distance, and with Lancaster Gate station right on your doorstep, getting around the rest of London is an easy feat. But the location – as excellent as it is – is just the cherry on top of an already delicious cake. The apartment building comes with a 24-hour concierge for any questions, as well as a sleek living space made even better with the bay windows, cosy furnishings and Sky TV. Although a little small, the galley-style kitchen has everything you need to rustle up a homecooked meal, while the three comfortable bedrooms promise a restful night's sleep. Whether you're a seasoned visitor or in London for the first time, this apartment is a winner.

Upon The Hyde

Balcony / Patio

Perfect for family or friends on a city getaway, this West London townhouse is a cosy place to call home. With two private outdoor spaces – a private patio and a small rooftop garden – you can enjoy alfresco drinks as you relive your day’s adventures. Within walking distance of key attractions such as the Natural History Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, Hyde Park, and a plethora of shops and eateries, there’s something for everyone here. Keen to explore further afield? South Kensington tube station is ready and waiting to whisk you away. 

Spirit of London

Trash Compactor

A beautiful home within a striking, period building, this place has the wow factor from the minute you approach the front door. With a desirable location next to Kensington and Chelsea and a grand interior, it's got the sought-after address and the elegant living space all sewn up. Inside, you'll find an impressive double-height living space – painted all-white – with tall, arched windows to one wall. One of the bedrooms is off this level, along with a bathroom, but it's up on the mezzanine floor that the magic happens. With a small but well-equipped kitchen and a dining table overlooking the living room below, it's a real talking point. Just a few minutes walk from Gloucester Road tube station, the whole city is at your fingertips. Stretch your legs and stroll to the Natural History Museum or head into Chelsea for fine dining and world-class shopping.

This former vicarage designed by Sir Arthur Blomfield in 1887 has been transformed into an elegant home to match its exclusive postcode in the heart of Mayfair. On the ground floor, guests will find an open-plan kitchen and living room leading to a conservatory overlooking the garden. Upstairs there is a 30ft drawing room with a balcony, a main bedroom with a separate walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom, and two further bedrooms. Another standout is the private terrace and garden, complete with outdoor furniture and even a sauna. Location-wise, you couldn't be better placed being situated in one of London's most prestigious areas. You've got Hyde Park views while being within walking distance of Bond Street Tube station, Selfridges, and some of the city's best restaurants.

Rock Oferta

Rooftop Terrace

This hidden gem is tucked away on a quiet street in Kensington, one of London’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. You’ll be just a few tube stops from the V&A and the Natural History Museum, and will have cafes and pubs nearby. Ascend to the third floor of the building to discover a stylishly decorated and bright oasis of an apartment with exposed brick walls and two comfortable bedrooms. Best of all, there’s a private rooftop terrace that offers south-facing views of London. 

Kensington Sun

This chic apartment matches its Knightsbridge location perfectly. You'll be just a short walk from Harrods, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Hyde Park, and well-connected Tube stations – if that's not central, we don't know what is. It's set on the ground and lower-ground floors of a Georgian townhouse, so expect original features like bay windows and cornice ceilings. Topping it all off is the private terrace – just the spot for a cup of tea in the sunshine.
