Located in a quiet cobbled mews, this stylish home in Knightsbridge combines quirky charm with contemporary comfort to create a calm escape from Kensington's bustling streets. Lovingly decorated, the living spaces are styled with a blend of antique and modern furnishings, with sleek whitewashed walls making way for pops of colour, funky art prints and plenty of books. Speaking of, the cosy reading room, benefiting from a floor-to-ceiling library and comfy mustard sofas, is our favourite spot for quiet relaxation. The sleek white kitchen and stylish dining area are perfect for coming together over brunch before heading out for a morning stroll around the immaculate Kensington Gardens or Hyde Park, both within walking distance. Come evening, you’ll be ready for a delicious meal after a long day hitting Museum Lane and perusing the area's plethora of luxury boutiques and independent shops. Come back home for a snazzy dinner and a glass of wine in your chic pad, or head back out to sample the surplus of upscale restaurants and bars right on your doorstep. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

About Knightsbridge
Opulence is the name of the game in Knightsbridge. This is London at its most grand and lavish: an area where many of your neighbours think nothing of picking up their daily groceries at Harrods and taking their dogs for a walk in Hyde Park before breakfast. Ideally located for exploring many of central London's key sights, Knightsbridge is also a mecca for high-end shopoholics. Thrifty types should look elsewhere!
