Originally a stable in the 19th century, this mews house has been converted into a rather special London home. It’s easy to see why the home has won design awards, with the kitchen’s vibrant living wall and the terrace’s retractable roof. It’s spread over four floors but boasts a chic lift that blends with the modern decor. There’s a family room for relaxing together, and an open-plan reception room with a workspace – this really is a convenient home-from-home. Best of all, it’s in the heart of South Kensington, just down the road from the Natural History Museum, the V&A, and lots of local eateries.

Located in Gloucester Road, within easy reach of the attractions of South Kensington, this two-bedroom apartment has interiors that embody timeless elegance. Your host’s attention to detail is admirable - from the perfectly pleated curtains to the objects that decorate the space. The small but well-presented courtyard and large French windows that lead to it provide the home with a fair amount of natural light, despite it being on a lower ground floor; but best of all - access to the beautifully landscaped communal gardens is the ultimate perk.

Is there anything more quintessentially West London than a handsome townhouse? This home on a quiet residential cul-de-sac in Chelsea is a fine example of exactly the sort of thing we mean.

Inside, the design leans on traditional, with period features and antique furnishings rubbing shoulders with quaint landscape artwork and homely rugs on the floor. Tall sash windows bring in plenty of natural light and look out to sleepy treetop views on the upper floor. 

When it comes to getting to know the local area a little better, the first port of call should be the famous King's Road, only five minutes' walk away, which has a wealth of restaurants and boutiques to explore, as well as a couple of art galleries. The Victoria and Albert Museum is only thirteen minutes away on foot, too.

That's Capital

South Kensington is chic and exclusive – it’s a splendid part of London to call home. Staying in this apartment puts you right in the heart of this district, amid its restaurants, cafes, shops, and museums. You’ll be close to green spaces including Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, and can walk to the King’s Road in fifteen minutes. The apartment is on the first floor of a Grade II listed building next door to a filming spot for ‘A Fish Called Wanda’. The highlight of this home is the private terrace, which overlooks communal gardens – in warm weather, open the French doors and expand the living space. The single bedroom is accessible via a ladder, which won’t be suitable for everyone.

This quiet Georgian mews house in South Kensington is ideal for families and couples.

Royal Vibes

This ground floor apartment offers something really special – a central London location that's peaceful and oh-so private. Just across from Hyde Park, a stay here will put you within walking distance of many of London’s top attractions. We love the calm, soothing nature of this home – white walls are offset by the use of jewel tones and earthy mustards in the living area, while the grey corner sofa looks like the perfect place for to curl up for a movie night. In the sleek, contemporary kitchen you’ll find everything you might need to whip up a quick dinner and there’s even a courtyard for enjoying sunny days. From here the whole of London is on your doorstep, with several tube stations within a ten-minute walk.

A Hyde Park Hello

Tucked away down a pastel-coloured, cobbled mews street, this quaint home offers you the chance of an idyllic London experience. Think more Richard Curtis than Guy Ritchie. The eclectic interiors are bursting with charm, and the impressive collection of art, artefacts, sculptures and rocks reflect the home's proximity to two of London's most popular museums, the V&A and Natural History Museum – with both little more than five minutes from your front door. While there's no oven in the kitchen, it's perfectly set up to prepare light meals. And if you need something more substantial, you're spoiled for choice when it comes to cafes and restaurants dotted along Brompton Road and clustered around South Kensington station – all within a ten-minute walk. From here, the Tube can whisk you out west to explore stunning Kew Gardens or transport you to London's trendy East End in a little over half an hour.

Steeped in understated glamour, this sophisticated penthouse looks out over leafy views of regal Kensington Gardens. Open the windows wide and you might just hear the hum of the orchestra from the Royal Albert Hall, just around the corner — Or most likely, the squawks of bright green parakeets in the trees below. It’s a debonair duplex with a carefully considered interior, mixing modern luxury living with elegant 1920s touches. The streamlined kitchen is beyond well-equipped for those days you need to make light work of simple suppers and there’s even a private elevator entrance for a flourish of extravagance. It’s a super spot to come home to after exploring one of London’s most exclusive postcodes — Hyde Park, Exhibition Road and High Street Kensington are all within easy reach. But what really makes this home sing is the service — breakfast in bed just for the hell of it, an in-house chef or sought-after dinner reservations for special occasions (and a nanny to take care of the kids). Alternatively, you can schedule a private training session in the on-site gym. Your host really has thought of it all.
