As you walk into the open downstairs level of this Earl's Court address, you can't help but notice that everything sparkles here. The natural light flooding in through both the skylight and large glass doors that sit at the end of the space dances pleasingly off the glossy floor, while even the furnishings have been chosen for their reflective qualities, from the glass coffee table to the transparent dining room chairs. The minimalist kitchen comes in a futuristic shade of white and the bedrooms are full of mirrors that add a sense of space. The overall effect is bright, fresh and modern, and this even continues out in the private garden. Here, there's a table and seats for when the weather allows for alfresco feasts. If it doesn't, there's a wide array of restaurants on the nearby Earl's Court Road. The Natural History Museum, as well as the neighbouring V&A and Science Museum, can be reached in just over fifteen minutes' walk, too.

Local guide
About Earl's Court
Kensington’s more down-to-earth neighbour, Earl’s Court is a well-rounded base to explore West London – and beyond. Relaxed restaurants, traditional pubs and leafy side streets characterise the neighbourhood. Make sure you visit The Troubadour, an iconic music venue that hosted Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell in its prime. You’re more likely to walk in on a lowkey jazz session these days, performed under a decades-old collection of instruments...
