Mere minutes away from the luxe stores of King’s Road, this wisteria-covered Georgian-style townhouse offers unstinting opulence spread over four storeys. You only have to look at the banquet-style dining table surrounded by flowing white curtains and illuminated by ornate chandeliers, or the huge, mirrored lounge to see what we mean. Outside, there's a well-furnished terrace — a rarity for London — that will see you through many a summer evening, while there are four-poster beds and freestanding bathtubs just begging for a long soak to be found upstairs. Another perk that comes with this address is access to the private Burton Court gardens, which offers tennis courts and cricket nets, as well as a quiet space in which to relax. Elsewhere, the nearest Michelin-starred restaurant is two minutes' walk away, while there are plenty more in the neighbourhood in case you fancy a tasting menu or two.

Local guide
About Chelsea
In the 1960s, Chelsea's Kings Road was the stomping ground for the hippest young things in town. Nowadays, the area is more conservative in its reputation - you'll share the immaculate pavements with affluent business people from around the world and plenty of blow-dried ladies of leisure. It attracts this set for good reason - it's very central and the period houses that line the streets are charming. Sloane Square...
