Located in Kensington, this elegant apartment provides an endlessly sophisticated stay in one of London’s greenest and prettiest neighbourhoods. We love the careful eye for design with which this space has been curated – from the recessed ceilings with their dazzling LED lights to the glossy kitchen cabinetry and the furnishings' sleek, polished finishes, there's a luxurious touch in every carefully selected detail. You’ll instantly be struck by the incredible amount of natural light pouring in through the floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides. Make yourself at home on the chic jewel-toned sofas while taking in views over your neighbourhood’s rooftops, a glass of wine in hand, or gather at the stylish dining table for an intimate soirée while the neighbourhood's lights create a dazzling glow around you. The bedroom, meanwhile, is just as plush with its beautifully dressed bed and equally large windows, and there's a desk space here too should you need to catch up on work. Last but by no means least, the decadent marble-clad bathroom offers luxurious pampering beneath its rainfall shower, promising to leave you feeling relaxed and ready for any day out in the city. Speaking of exploring, you’re just a seven-minute walk from leafy... Holland Park, while a twenty-minute stroll will take you to colourful Notting Hill. South Kensington’s world-class museums are also reachable on foot in thirty minutes, while the Design Museum is a fourteen-minute stroll from your door.

Local guide
About Holland Park
Filled with mews streets, stucco mansions and green spaces, Holland Park is an idyllic neighbourhood sandwiched between Notting Hill, Kensington and Shepherd's Bush. Holland Park itself is one of London's most picturesque green spaces with a rich history. Today, the park boasts an open-air theatre and opera, Japanese-style Kyoto Gardens and a family playground. For dining, try Julie's and The Belvedere, and for a refreshing pint or aperol spritz, the Mitre and The Ladbroke Arms are a couple of great, classic British pubs in the area.
