Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

You’ll find this lower ground floor apartment in well-to-do Kensington, a five-minute walk from the shops, restaurants and cafes that line the High Street, and less than a twenty-minute Tube trip to Oxford Circus. The place is kitted out with everything you need to feel at home – there’s a desk for remote workers and a small but well-appointed kitchen. Our favourite feature had to be the private, furnished terrace – a rarity in this area of the city.

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.
