Just a short stroll from Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, this beautiful three-storey mews home is an ideal base for those looking to explore some of the capital’s most iconic sights. It’s also perfectly suited to those in town on business with its proximity to Paddington and the desk on hand in the living room. While some areas of the home lack natural light, there are plenty of stylish decorative touches here that make up for this, not to mention two carefully curated en-suite bedrooms, one of which boasts a freestanding soaking tub.

Home truths
This home is laid out over three floors with both bedrooms on the upper floors. It may not be the best choice for those with reduced mobility.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot. You'll need to request it in advance.
While we love the overall design of this home, the living area is lacking in nautral light.
Given the home's central location, you may hear some street noise. Light sleepers might wish to pack earplugs.
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible. That said, we think the best way to see the city is on foot.
