Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Perfect for business visitors, couples, or solo travellers, the first impression of this apartment is cosy and inviting. It's on the lower ground floor, but the large windows in the lounge provide plenty of natural light. There's a dining table that doubles as a desk, a comfortable (albeit somewhat snug) bedroom, and a well-appointed kitchen where you can rustle up a romantic dinner for two. But the best part of all is the location. Chelsea's famous King's Road and South Kensington's iconic museums are just under a mile away. Factor in the proximity to three Tube stations, and you'll be well-connected to explore near and far.

About Chelsea
In the 1960s, Chelsea's Kings Road was the stomping ground for the hippest young things in town. Nowadays, the area is more conservative in its reputation - you'll share the immaculate pavements with affluent business people from around the world and plenty of blow-dried ladies of leisure. It attracts this set for good reason - it's very central and the period houses that line the streets are charming. Sloane Square...
