Elegant and bright, this lovely studio apartment in Kensington is an ideal base for a couple or solo business traveller looking for a comfortable stay in one of London’s prettiest neighbourhoods. Though compact, this home packs a decorative punch with a neutral palette offset by soft pink accents and large windows letting ample natural light flow in. Mornings call for coffees at the cosy window-side table and catching up on work at the desk, while nighttimes beckon a peaceful night’s sleep in the wonderfully comfortable bed. When it comes to ways of filling your days, you’ve got plenty to choose from within easy reach. South Kensington’s world-class museums are a ten-minute walk away, Kensington Palace and Gardens are a fifteen-minute stroll and Chelsea is a mere twenty minutes away on foot.
