Follow in Joe Strummer's bovver-booted footsteps while staying at this chic and sophisticated top-floor flat in London's sought-after Ladbroke Grove neighbourhood. While The Clash might have mythologised its mean streets back in the late 70s, today it's better known for its colourful houses, tree-lined boulevards and vibrant atmosphere that's popular with locals and tourists alike. 

The area is home to a mix of independent shops, trendy cafes, and delicious international restaurants, making it a food lover's paradise. One of the most famous local landmarks is the iconic Portobello Road Market, a stone's throw from your front door. It's a must-visit destination for anyone interested in antiques, vintage clothing, and unique trinkets. The neighbourhood also offers plenty of green spaces, including the beautiful Kensington Memorial Park and the tranquil Ladbroke Square Garden.

As you enter the flat, you're greeted with an open-plan kitchen and dining area that boasts an expansive skylight, allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the space. Elsewhere, the bedrooms are all generously sized and offer a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city, thanks to the soothing sage green, tranquil blue, and vibrant yellow colour schemes in each of the rooms. 

The Right Profile

Private Entrance

Balcony

Nestled between Fulham and Hammersmith, this apartment puts the River Thames at your fingertips. Though tucked away from the hustle and bustle in central London, you'll find pubs, shops, and eateries nearby – plus a Tube station is fifteen minutes away for adventures further afield. The apartment is set over the first and second levels, so there's a decent amount of space to get cosy. Unwind with a book in the living area, rustle up a meal in the kitchen, or relax in the three comfortable bedrooms (one of which is ideal for little ones). The cherry on top is the private garden, the perfect spot to spend summer evenings.

Teal & Velvet

Whether you’re on a work trip or a sightseeing adventure, this cosy studio provides the ideal base for an exciting city stay. Nestled in Marylebone, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to local restaurants, cafes and shops. It’s also possible to walk to Hyde Park and Regent’s Park, while the close proximity to public transport makes it easy to explore further afield. And when it comes to relaxation, this ground-floor apartment has all the essentials you could need to unwind. Set across two levels, it’s the perfect spot for couples and solo travellers. Plus, there’s a handy desk for remote workers.

Set within a traditional mansion building, this colourful and art filled apartment is perfectly positioned for an inspiring city break. From here, it’s a short stroll to Kensington High Street where you’ll find a great range of restaurants, cafes and shops. Holland Park is also within walking distance, while the nearest tube stations make it easy to explore further afield. Wherever the day takes you, this apartment has everything you could need to relax and disconnect. There are plenty of personal touches and the main bedroom comes with an ensuite bathroom – adding a wonderful sense of privacy.

Single-Level Home

Portobello Road might be famous for its markets and shops selling antiques and vintage clothing, but this apartment on an adjoining street is all about the here and now. It's found in a new apartment block and there are no renovated period interiors here — just a sleek white kitchen, wooden floors throughout and large floor-to-ceiling windows that invite the sunshine inside. Our favourite feature had to be the balcony with a pleasant view out over a local park, which would be a lovely spot on which to enjoy a late-morning brunch. However, if you don't fancy cooking, the cafes and restaurants of Notting Hill are a ten-minute saunter from your front door. Alternatively, if you're up for a longer walk, you can walk along the canal until you reach Little Venice, which will take you less than an hour.

Fenced Garden

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.

Colourful Connoisseur

You'll find this charming townhouse nestled down a quiet leafy street in West Kensington, a short walk from the nearest Tube station. From here, you'll be well connected to the city centre, as well as plenty of pubs, bars and restaurants in Hammersmith and Fulham. At home, the private garden and patio area is a real standout and ideal for alfresco meals during the warmer months. Inside, it's a homey space with two sitting rooms, a fully equipped kitchen and a handy office for remote working, ensuring a comfortable stay throughout – just so long as you don't mind climbing a small flight of steps up to the entrance of this home. 

Comfort in Kensington

Home Cinema Setup

Umbrellas

An ideal base for those in search of the finer things in life, this luxurious Knightsbridge apartment is ready to welcome you into a world of refinement. From its crystal chandeliers to its state of the art features (we particularly love the TV art frame that displays a Renoir painting) and plush details, every inch of this home feels wonderfully curated with relaxation in mind. The stone arches leading to the kitchen give the space some Old World charm, while the cubby dining room is as chic as can be. The master bedroom is a masterclass in style with its sumptuous bed and spa-like bathroom, and there’s even a desk space here too should you need to mix business with pleasure. The home also comes with access to the private resident’s garden, a calm oasis of green that invites sunny picnics and quiet mornings catching some rays with a good book. With the city’s high-end shopping streets right on your doorstep – including Harrods a seven-minute walk away – you can indulge in some retail therapy along Brompton Road or on Chelsea’s King’s Road, a ten-minute stroll from your door. Factor in South Kensington’s world-class museums (the V&A is also a ten-minute walk) as well as some of London’s most prestigious restaurants and bars in your neighbourhood, and you’re all set to experience the city in class and style.


Renoir's Secret

Air Conditioning

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.


Arthur’s Sword

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. 


Turquoise Gem

Paid Parking

This stylish home boasts an excellent location in North Kensington, close to Notting Hill and Portobello Road Market. It’s on a quiet tree-lined avenue with pubs, cafes, and two Tube stations within walking distance. The house is spread over three floors and has a garden, so there’s plenty of space here to stretch out. We love the open-plan living and dining space, with its contemporary decor and breezy layout. The bedrooms are comfortable, and two of them have en-suite bathrooms. You’ll have everything you need here for a London break.

The Duke's Delight

As bright as it is comfortable, this apartment between Edgeware Road, Paddington and Bond Street provides a relaxing, homey stay and an ideal base for getting the most out of Central London.

From the plump, inviting sectional to the cool art prints and large windows bathing the living space in light, this home is meant for socialising and lounging while enjoying the peace and quiet away from the nearby bustling streets. 

The main bedroom is pared-back yet elegant with its comfortable bed and equally large windows (there’s a desk space here too should you need to catch up on work), while the second bedroom is a sweet space with its pretty white bunk bed that’s sure to delight any child. 

When you’re not hanging out in your stylish pad, go out and explore your surroundings. Hyde Park and Oxford Street are both a ten-minute walk away, Regent’s Park and the Sherlock Holmes Museum are a fifteen-minute stroll, while Little Venice is twenty-five minutes away on foot.


Sun Smile

Free Parking On Street

Located just a minute’s walk from Oxford Street’s parade of shops, this stylish apartment is the perfect base for those wishing to experience the vibrancy of Central London.  We love how this home mirrors its elegant, upscale surroundings – chic touches like a velvet sofa in the living room and dusky blue floral wallpaper in the hall amp up the luxe feel of this home while natural light streams in from the windows overlooking charming James Street. Pour yourself a glass of wine to enjoy on the balcony or while seated on one of the armchairs – a good book in hand – or gather together for a celebratory feast at the chic dining table. The plush beds with their luxurious bedding are made for sinking into after a long day of work or sightseeing. Unless that is, you'd rather sink into some bubbles first – with large soaking tubs, how could you not? Outside of your home, Hyde Park beckons long afternoon ambles a ten-minute walk away, while the bright lights of the West End promise unforgettable theatre and entertainment, twenty-five minutes on foot from your door.


Bluets

Located in Kensington – just a stone’s throw from the River Thames – this elegantly dressed apartment is an ideal base for a solo traveller or couple looking to be within walking distance of Kensington Palace, Hyde Park and Royal Albert Hall. It’s not just its prime locale that caught our eye, though. And though you’ve got plenty of restaurant options on your doorstep, the alfresco dining area makes for a great summer spot – especially if you’ve picked up your grocery selection at Whole Foods around the corner – do keep in mind you’ll need to climb the ladder up.

London Is Yours

Board Games

Fireplace

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.

Dionysos

Private Dryer

Elegant London living awaits at this smart apartment found along a quiet street just off well-heeled King's Road. Set in a period townhouse, high ceilings and dual-aspect Juliet balcony doors bring the wow factor, while a well-equipped separate kitchen makes this a practical find for longer stays. When it's time to blaze a trail further into the city, Sloane Square Underground is just a ten-minute walk. Or keep things local with a stroll over to the newly developed shopping mecca, Battersea Park.

The Chelsea Letters

Wine Cellar

Courtyard

Located in a Georgian building in the heart of Mayfair, just a short stroll away from Hyde Park, this apartment connects you to London's most iconic landmarks. From Oxford Street to Buckingham Palace, sightseeing here is a breeze. Though the dining table doesn't seat the whole group at capacity, there's space in the living room and out on the terrace (a rarity in London). Plus, with so many restaurants on your doorstep, you'll likely be eating out more than in. The home is comfortable and modern, but there's not loads of natural light, and two guests will sleep on a sofa bed. But, factor in the central location and picturesque neighbourhood and it's easy to see why it's in our collection.

The Royal Handbook

Children's Dinnerware

Right in Notting Hill, this garden flat puts you on the doorstep of some of London's best bits. Walk to Kensington Palace and the iconic Hyde Park nearby, or hop on the tube to visit Buckingham Palace, swinging by Westminister Abbey and Big Ben before finding a quintessentially British pub. The home decor also plays into heritage with bold prints – though the style might not be for everyone, it has its appeal. The kitchen and living area is on the smaller side – especially at capacity – but there's a beautiful outdoor space to retreat to when you need some wiggle room.

London Melody

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.

Knightsbridge Elegance

Parking On Premises

Doorman

24-Hour Front Desk

This stylish apartment is smack-dab in the centre of London, just across the road from Regent’s Park and a short stroll from Baker Street. Many Tube stations in the area can whisk you across the city in a matter of minutes and there are bars, restaurants and shops galore in your neighbourhood. The living area looks out over a leafy green courtyard, keeping things quiet inside. A separate kitchen is well-stocked and there’s a big dining table for group meals. The bonus is oodles of storage space – a rarity for an apartment this centrally located. 

Antique Art

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

Wine Cooler

You can't beat this location. Just a five-minute walk from Portobello Road, this apartment puts Notting Hill at your fingertips. This is the place to be if you're looking for delicious restaurants, vintage shops, or trendy cafes – though if you're keen to venture further afield, Ladbroke Grove Station is a three-minute stroll away. Back home, the bright living space is instantly welcoming. You'll find a compact kitchen complete with all the necessities, a hallway bookcase stacked with interesting titles, and a comfortable bedroom with a small conservatory. We think it's an ideal hideaway for couples and solo travellers.

Pretty Portobello

Games Console

Exercise Equipment

Nestled between Chelsea and Kensington, this bright apartment is a great base for London adventures. Whether you want to browse prestigious museums, grab dinner at a gourmet restaurant, or venture across the city, this home is close to all you'll need. Design-wise, the interiors are cosy and bathed in sunlight. Though on the simpler side, it's certainly comfortable. Plus, with a large kitchen and two amply-sized bedrooms, you won't be short on space. Just note it's on the first floor and the building doesn't have a lift.

Classic Chelsea

This elegant five-story townhouse is located in the heart of Knightsbridge. As well as being just a few steps from Harrods, you’ll be a short stroll from Hyde Park. The exclusive postcode means you’re also never far from an excellent restaurant or upscale boutique. The townhouse boasts all the modern amenities you could ask for, including a luxurious primary suite. This sophisticated urban retreat allows you to experience central London in unmatched comfort. 

Knightsbridge Nights

Sun Loungers / Beach Chairs

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

DVD Player

Ranged at the top of a mid-Victorian mansion, this stylish penthouse is the ideal base for anyone looking to explore well-heeled West London. The neutral colour palette is soothing and sophisticated, while patterned wallpaper adds personality to each of the bedrooms. Pick up the best of the best produce at Harrods Food Halls, less than a ten-minute walk away, and cook up gastronomic delights in the well-appointed kitchen. A private balcony overlooks London’s evocative skyline; sip your morning coffee as the sun breaks through the clouds. Spend afternoons quaffing cocktails in Belgravia’s sought-after destinations or tour some of the capital’s finest collections – the Victoria and Albert, Science and Natural History Museums are reached in a leisurely twenty minutes by foot. When you’re ready to turn it up a notch, jump on the tube to Theatreland and Soho for a night you’ll never forget.

Up Above Belgravia

Situated in affluent South Kensington, boarded by Knightsbridge, Chelsea, Notting Hill and Hyde Park, this effortlessly chic apartment is the perfect place to unwind at the end of a busy day wandering museums, cobbled streets and royal palaces. Inside, there's a real warmth with soft brown tones, dark wood flooring and vintage-style wallpaper. Through to the bedroom, where you'll find more bold choices when it comes to colours and prints. We love the classic look, with baby pink decor and draping curtains ensuring a restful sleep whenever you decide to call it a night. If business is on the agenda, you'll find a dedicated workspace in the living room for client catch-ups and calls. Fix together a hearty breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen, before mapping out a plan for the day. When you are ready to explore, Hyde Park, just twenty minutes away, is a lovely space to wander after a day spent shopping. Or look around the National History and V&A museums, a thirteen-minute walk from your door, for an afternoon of art and culture. Whatever you choose to fill your day doing, bookmark it with a totter into town and an evening of fine-dining in Covent Garden, less than a twenty-minute tube ride away.

Chocolate Ganache

Rooftop Terrace

Skylights, super-high ceilings, painted rafters and a pearly white colour palette make this bright Holland Park flat an angelic place to call home for a while. Design elements like the original oak beam ceilings, sparing use of houseplants and a stone Buddha add to the peaceful vibe. While an earth-toned rug and pastel wall art add variety to the neutral canvas. Descend the statement spiral staircase to find an elegant basement bedroom with crushed velvet furnishings a sleek study area to pen your thoughts. Rustle up your smashed avocados on toast in a charming kitchen with white country-house cabinets and a sociable breakfast bar to come together. Upstairs, you'll find the real start of the show – a private sun terrace – complete with garden furniture and a barbecue, that's perfect for alfresco dining on a sunny day. Look out onto the quiet, foliage-covered mews street below – an exclusive spot to stay. Sandwiched between bustling Kensington High Street, Notting Hill and trendy Portobello Road – a ten-minute walk away from Holland Park, you’ll have the best of West London right on your doorstep.

Angels In My Kitchen

Just a short walk from Portobello Road, this apartment is ideally placed for an inspiring city break. You can stroll to the iconic market and browse vintage stores in Notting Hill. There are a great selection of cafes and restaurants within easy reach, while the close proximity to public transport means it’s easy to get across the city. Wherever the day takes you, this apartment has everything you could need to switch off and unwind. Remote workers will appreciate the dedicated desk space, while everyone can enjoy laid-back evenings in the living room or on the balcony. 

The Mariella 

This mews home is only a five-minute walk to Ladbroke Grove Underground Station, so many of London's major landmarks are easily accessible. Located in Notting Hill, you'll be just a few steps away from Portobello Road's daily market and restaurants. Save some energy for getting around this home, though, as it's set out over three floors. In fact there are two staircases in this house, both of which are narrow and steep, so this place won't appeal to guests with limited mobility. We do like that this abode has a first-floor balcony perfect for enjoying a glass of fizz, and both bedrooms are en-suite.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

The Portobello Rose

Set in a quiet corner of Notting Hill, yet with buzzy Portobello Market and Westbourne Grove a stroll away and the underground even closer, the location of this apartment is hard to beat. Housed in a grade II listed building, while the apartment's interiors may be a little pared-back for some, the owner's curated artwork brings plenty of interest. And there's no dodgy sofa bed set-ups here – instead, expect two well-proportioned bedrooms as light-filled as the next. 

The Equinox

Playstation

Ice Machine

Juicer

Printer

Step-Free Access

Behind a perfect white gate is a garden path teeming with flora and fauna leading to the front door of this bright and spacious home. With an entire open-plan ground floor, there is plenty of space for everyone in your group. 

This is the owner's own home so you will find it full of her interesting furniture, artwork, soft furnishings and antiques from her travels - a really personal and characterful home. 

The ground floor is fully open plan so great for families or groups to be altogether whilst cooking, dining and enjoying the living area. Situated next to a public tennis court in Kensington Memorial Park and just 15 min walk to Portobello Road Market - the perfect location for independent cafes, pubs and restaurants.
