Bright, modern and ideally located in South Kensington, this sophisticated apartment is perfect for those wanting to be within easy reach of some of London’s most iconic cultural sights. Its double-height windows ensure plenty of natural light pours in, while the mezzanine bedroom gives you ample space. The monochrome colour scheme adds a debonair feel to the proceedings in the living room, with a glossy window-side table inviting hearty breakfasts ahead of mornings spent sightseeing and intimate evenings over a glass of wine. Outside of your home, Hyde Park is just a three-minute walk away, while the Royal Albert Hall is an eight-minute stroll from your door. Elsewhere, both Chelsea and Knightsbridge are just twenty minutes on foot from your home, where countless high-end restaurants and shops wait to be explored.
