Elegant London living awaits at this smart apartment found along a quiet street just off well-heeled King's Road. Set in a period townhouse, high ceilings and dual-aspect Juliet balcony doors bring the wow factor, while a well-equipped separate kitchen makes this a practical find for longer stays. When it's time to blaze a trail further into the city, Sloane Square Underground is just a ten-minute walk. Or keep things local with a stroll over to the newly developed shopping mecca, Battersea Park.

Local guide
About Chelsea
In the 1960s, Chelsea's Kings Road was the stomping ground for the hippest young things in town.
