Experience London a little more peacefully from where this modern apartment overlooks the leafy Twickenham Green. We recommend picnic lunches in the shade of one of the trees when you're not sipping a coffee at the park cafe. Twickenham Stadium also lies within walking distance, making this a great spot during rugby season. But it isn't just for sports enthusiasts. The kids will enjoy the back garden and trampoline whilst the grown-ups get cosy with cheese and wine in the living space. With the bi-fold doors open, you can still keep an eye on the little ones, even from inside.

Local guide
About Twickenham
Most famous for being the home of English Rugby, insiders know that there is much more to Twickenham than sport. Its high street might be slightly uninspiring but you don't have to stray far off it to find the leafy streets of period houses and quaint riverside pubs (our favourite is The White Swan) to realise what makes this part of town so popular with affluent young families looking to get away from hectic central London. The delights of Richmond and its world-class park are just a short walk away.
