Tucked away on the same street where season four of Netflix's hit show 'You' was shot, this modern apartment has more than just a bold claim to fame. Elegant with parquet flooring and fine furnishings, this home is ideal for two couples visiting London. Though a basement flat, the windows are large enough for some natural light to filter through. And besides, with this location, you'll likely be out exploring anyway. Musuems like The Natural History Museum and Albert & Victoria are nearby, and so are some of the trendiest bars and restuarants.

Local guide
About Kensington
Affluent and incredibly central, Kensington is a great base for exploring London on foot. Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are on your doorstep and so are the Victoria and Albert, Science, and Natural History Museums. The streets are attractive and well maintained (grand, white stucco facades aplenty) and your neighbours will be a wealthy, conservative set. Lots of positives but probably not the place to let your hair down.
