Located right between the opulent neighbourhoods of Kensington and Earl’s Court, this home is a modern and elegant base for your stay in West London. But with high-end restaurants nine minutes away on Gloucester Road, as well as world-class galleries and vibrant high streets, you might not have a lot of time to relax. In this high-ceilinged living and dining area, with huge sash windows, our favourite piece is the wooden coffee table with perspex legs. Stylish yet simple, its rich red tone looks perfect against the understated cream and blue rug. And with the plush L-shaped sofa in tow, this is a fabulous spot to sit and enjoy a cup of Earl Grey – or perhaps a glass of red wine in the evening. Another option is to head out into the bustling local area. It's an eight-minute walk to Earl’s Court tube station, from where you can easily explore the city. However, there's so much nearby that you might not feel the need. Head to the Design Museum in just twelve minutes, where you’ll also end up next to the lush greenery of Holland Park. Just like your home, its Japanese garden is a delightfully tranquil escape from...

About Earl's Court

Kensington’s more down-to-earth neighbour, Earl’s Court is a well-rounded base to explore West London – and beyond. Relaxed restaurants, traditional pubs and leafy side streets characterise the neighbourhood. Make sure you visit The Troubadour, an iconic music venue that hosted Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell in its prime. You’re more likely to walk in on a lowkey jazz session these days, performed under a decades-old collection of instruments...
