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.

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.

This quaint two-bedroom terraced townhouse on a quiet street off the bustling Fulham Road has a pared-down exterior in contrast to the cosier atmosphere inside. A spacious living area welcomes you on the ground floor, and an open-plan kitchen completes the space. Sleeping quarters are tucked away upstairs, and the master bedroom even boasts a terrace, although we can't guarantee the weather! The house is a few minutes' walk from South Kensington Tube station, allowing you to explore the whole of London with ease. Closer to home, PJ's Chelsea Brasserie serves up Modern American classics only 100 yards away. Phil Howard's Michelin-starred Elystan Street is just a five-minute walk, while The Crown and The Hunter's Moon are there for those after a good old British pub. A ten-to-fifteen-minute walk opens up the fashionable boutiques and fine dining options of Kings Road, swanky Sloane Square, and the shopping mecca of Harrods.

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

Located in the heart of the exclusive district of South Kensington, this luxurious apartment makes for the perfect base for two. Whether you're travelling for work or leisure – this contemporary home has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The interiors are bright and welcoming, with luxurious finishes – making the apartment feel like a hotel. You'll find plenty of independent shops, restaurants, and cafes – just a short walk away. Spend your days strolling through Hyde Park, or perhaps visit the V&A museum. With such close proximity to both South Kensington and Gloucester Road tube stations – you can easily navigate your way across London.

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

Elvaston Place III

Bright, modern and ideally located in South Kensington, this sophisticated apartment is perfect for those wanting to be within easy reach of some of London’s most iconic cultural sights. Its double-height windows ensure plenty of natural light pours in, while the mezzanine bedroom gives you ample space. The monochrome colour scheme adds a debonair feel to the proceedings in the living room, with a glossy window-side table inviting hearty breakfasts ahead of mornings spent sightseeing and intimate evenings over a glass of wine. Outside of your home, Hyde Park is just a three-minute walk away, while the Royal Albert Hall is an eight-minute stroll from your door. Elsewhere, both Chelsea and Knightsbridge are just twenty minutes on foot from your home, where countless high-end restaurants and shops wait to be explored.


Savoir-Faire

Nestled on a quiet street in South Kensington, this penthouse apartment, housed in a stunning neo-classical style London townhouse, has a fantastic location. It's around a ten-minute stroll from London's world-famous trio of museums – the Natural History Museum, the Victoria and Albert and the Science Museum. Or, if you fancy some green space, then beautiful Kensington Gardens are a fifteen-minute saunter. Back at this luxurious home, there’s a private lift to whisk you to the top floor. Once there, relax in the bright and classy living space with its elegant furnishings or enjoy a meal at the stylish dining table. The concierge here can arrange for a private chef to create a truly memorable feast for you and your guests if you prefer. Afterwards, take in the views over the rooftops of South Kensington, or unwind in the bath with a glass of Champagne.

Fenced Garden

You’ll find this homely apartment tucked away in a quiet pocket of South Kensington, just a fifteen-minute walk from the Victoria and Albert, Natural History and Science Museums. Nip across to Chelsea for swanky boutiques and see-and-be-seen restaurants on the King’s Road, less than a fifteen-minute stroll away. If you need to head into central, catch the tube from Gloucester Road to arrive at St James’s Park tube stop in twelve minutes. After a busy day exploring the capital return to your abode and get cosy on the couch. The palette of cream and taupe maintains a tranquil ambience and the gallery wall adds a touch of personality. Pour a drink at the bar cart and take your tipple outside to your private garden. And when it’s time to get some rest, quiet bedrooms guarantee a deep, peaceful sleep.

Royal Wave

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

This apartment might not be the most luxurious address in South Kensington, but that's more down to the ridiculous standards set by some of the other homes in this famously well-heeled corner of London. We can't really find much to fault with the interior here – modest, yes, but homely all the same. The best part, however, has to be the excellent location on Fulham Road. Here, you're only a short stroll from a huge number of critically adored restaurants, designer shops and some of the capital's best art galleries.
