Ideally located just a six-minute walk from Paddington station, this debonair apartment combines pared-back elegance with modern comfort in style. With its large windows, vaulted ceiling and soft muted palette, it exudes sophistication and feels like your very own swish retreat in the heart of the city. We love the silver-detailed feature walls in the living room and bedroom and the bright dining nook that’s perfect for starting morning adventures off over coffee or gathering around for intimate evening meals. The simple yet refined bedroom has the air of a boutique hotel and you’ll love taking long soaks in the bathtub after a day of exploring London. Speaking of seeing the sights, you’re just a ten-minute walk from Kensington Gardens’ famous Peter Pan statue, as well as Hyde Park's leafy boulevards, while colourful Notting Hill is a twenty-five-minute walk away, where you’ll find independent shops, trendy cafes and the antique shop–line Portobello Road.
