Situated in affluent South Kensington, boarded by Knightsbridge, Chelsea, Notting Hill and Hyde Park, this effortlessly chic apartment is the perfect place to unwind at the end of a busy day wandering museums, cobbled streets and royal palaces.

We love the classic look, with baby pink decor and draping curtains ensuring a restful sleep whenever you decide to call it a night. If business is on the agenda, you'll find a dedicated workspace in the living room for client catch-ups and calls. Fix together a hearty breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen, before mapping out a plan for the day. When you are ready to explore, Hyde Park, just twenty minutes away, is a lovely space to wander after a day spent shopping. Or look around the National History and V&A museums, a thirteen-minute walk from your door, for an afternoon of art and culture. Whatever you choose to fill your day doing, bookmark it with a totter into town and an evening of fine-dining in Covent Garden, less...
