A beautiful home within a striking, period building, this place has the wow factor from the minute you approach the front door. With a desirable location next to Kensington and Chelsea and a grand interior, it's got the sought-after address and the elegant living space all sewn up. Inside, you'll find an impressive double-height living space – painted all-white – with tall, arched windows to one wall. One of the bedrooms is off this level, along with a bathroom, but it's up on the mezzanine floor that the magic happens. With a small but well-equipped kitchen and a dining table overlooking the living room below, it's a real talking point. Just a few minutes walk from Gloucester Road tube station, the whole city is at your fingertips. Stretch your legs and stroll to the Natural History Museum or head into Chelsea for fine dining and world-class shopping.

Local guide
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...

Cosy up for a bite at the Troubadour
Soak up music history in this legendary venue & coffee house that's played host to the likes of Bob Dylan & Jimi Hendrix. Still famous for great food, coffee & regular live gigs in the basement club.
Discover dinosaurs at The Natural History Museum
Not only an architecturally impressive building, the Natural History Museum is also filled with wonders. Take a day to explore, be amazed and re-learn all those things you forgot from school.
Enjoy a pint at the Stanhope Arms
On Gloucester Road, you will find the Stanhope Arms, a traditionally decorated pub with a great range of ales to choose from. The perfect place for a quick drink after a long day of exploring.
Attend a private art exhibition at Gallery 286
This gorgeous gallery is to be found in a Victorian townhouse and can be explored by appointment. Worth getting on the mailing list.
Cosy up at the historic Hereford Arms
Rumour has it that this Victorian pub was once Jack the Ripper's favourite drinking haunt. Nowadays it's best known for its convivial vibe, classic British pub grub & locally-brewed Fuller's beer.
Get inspired at the Mosaic Rooms
One of the finest collections of Islamic art in London, The Mosaic Rooms has a permanent collection and monthly exhibitions showcasing this timeless art form.
St Augustine's Church
Once a favourite church of renowned poet John Betjemen, the church's building is also a stunning display of Victorian architecture, and a thriving house of worship.
Taste some English Ale at The Blackbird
This Fullers pub right by Earl's Court station ticks all boxes for a good old boozer. Expect pub classics alongside a good selection of ale and continental lager.
Find this tucked-away pub: The King's Head
At the heart of a sleepy, villagey enclave off busy Earl’s Court Road stands this once better avoided pub that following a makeover, now boasts a line-up of well-kept real ales and some decent grub.
Snap a photo at the Earls Court Police Box
A treat for Doctor Who fans, this refurbished police box outside Earls Court Station is a perfect spot for a selfie. Channel your inner Time Lord and capture the moment.
Dine at La Pappardella
Simply-styled, open-fronted Italian restaurant serving delicious pizza and traditional cuisine. Good food, quick service, and friendly staff.
