Right in Notting Hill, this garden flat puts you on the doorstep of some of London's best bits. Walk to Kensington Palace and the iconic Hyde Park nearby, or hop on the tube to visit Buckingham Palace, swinging by Westminister Abbey and Big Ben before finding a quintessentially British pub. The home decor also plays into heritage with bold prints – though the style might not be for everyone, it has its appeal. The kitchen and living area is on the smaller side – especially at capacity – but there's a beautiful outdoor space to retreat to when you need some wiggle room.
