This Chelsea studio apartment is the ideal pied-à-terre for the solo traveller. Located seconds from Sloane Square and the King's Road, it couldn't get much better in terms of location, whilst still remaining quiet and peaceful. Although the home stands at 400 square feet, the space has been maximised with a good amount of wardrobe storage and a super large TV that feels like a home cinema. The flat is on the lower ground floor but don't get put off by this, as natural light bathes the whole studio. Overall, a decent base that we love because of its location and modern amenities.

About Belgravia
Belgravia is London at its grandest. Think pristine, stuccoed facades lining exclusive streets and garden squares. Grand as this district may be, there is a profound community spirit present between the locals and shop owners that is charming. The area tends to be less crowded than surrounding parts of the city, even though you couldn’t get much more central, with Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace on your doorstep and the...
