Situated in the heart of Earl’s Court, a ten-minute walk from vibrant shops and restaurants, this apartment is an ideal choice for those keen to get stuck into city living.

Inside, the pad is simple yet well-appointed. If you’re visiting for work, you’ll need to set up your laptop at the dining table, as there’s no desk here.

Local guide
About Earl's Court
Kensington’s more down-to-earth neighbour, Earl’s Court is a well-rounded base to explore West London – and beyond. Relaxed restaurants, traditional pubs and leafy side streets characterise the neighbourhood. Make sure you visit The Troubadour, an iconic music venue that hosted Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell in its prime. You’re more likely to walk in on a lowkey jazz session these days, performed under a decades-old collection of instruments...
