With Earl’s Court station a three-minute walk away, you’re right in the heart of the action at this apartment. It’s also one of London’s most prestigious addresses, in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, putting fine dining, luxury shopping and myriad museums and galleries on your doorstep. The home itself is a classic London pad with big bay windows and wooden floors. The living room was built for entertainment with shelves and shelves of object d’art and DVDs surrounding the TV. A minimalist kitchen hides all the appliances you need behind pristine white cabinets and there’s a skinny balcony overlooking parkland and tennis courts, ideal for a pre-dinner drink in the evening sun. Come bedtime, sprawling queen-size beds ensure a sound sleep, and both bedrooms have a TV if you want some downtime.

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...
