Located on a quiet street in the heart of Kensington, this townhouse is the perfect place to return to after sightseeing excursions around the capital. Holland Park is only a five-minute walk away, and you’re a fifteen-minute bus ride from the Museum Neighbourhood. The home unfolds across four floors, so you’ll need to be able to manage stairs. There’s a top-of-the-line kitchen, a sitting room for relaxing with a good book and a dedicated office if you need to catch up on your emails. Our favourite feature was the outside space – it’s an ideal spot to enjoy refreshments on a sunny day.

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.
