This mews house in Mayfair caught our eye with its fantastic location and abundance of space – we couldn't believe this was all for one couple. A rarity for London is the two outdoor spaces, including a roof terrace and a patio. Inside, you'll find a large living room and two bathrooms here. The latter is perfect for avoiding any morning conflict and getting you out the door quickly, which is ideal given you're near hotspots like Hyde Park and Bond Street. We also liked the fuss-free kitchen, perfect if you somehow grow tired of all the fine cuisine in the surrounding areas.

Home truths
Although the roof terrace and patio aren't photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
Driving and parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot.
This home is spread over two floors, with no internal lift – it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility.
The lack of air conditioning may mean the home gets stuffy in hotter months.

Local guide
About Mayfair
Mayfair needs no introduction - it is quite simply the epicentre of luxury London, the place to satisfy the most extravagant tastes in food, fashion, jewellery and art. Home to Bond Street, Savile Row, and Cork Street, Mayfair is stuffed full of history and monopoly players will know that real estate doesn't come cheap here. Once you've shopped til you drop, we recommend a lavish afternoon tea: will it be Claridge's, Fortnum & Masons or The Ritz? Take your pick.
