Locations don't get much better than this. Just a seven-minute walk from bustling King's Road, this flat is in the heart of upscale Kensington and Chelsea. Spend your days dining at the gourmet eateries nearby, browsing the museums in South Kensington (fifteen minutes on foot) and strolling through Hyde Park (a twenty-five-minute walk). It's the perfect spot to indulge in a bit of sightseeing, excellent shopping and luxury living – and with access to a private communal garden, you'll be doing quite a lot of the latter. We adore everything about this apartment, which is set in a traditional red-brick townhouse brimming with character. A bright living space is filled with books, cosy seating and beautiful artwork, while the kitchen has everything you need to whip up delicious homecooked meals. As an added bonus, a private balcony overlooks the communal gardens. In the evenings, sit out there with a glass of wine as the sun slowly sets, then come inside and snuggle up either on the sofa or in the bed for a Netflix movie night.

Local guide
About Chelsea
In the 1960s, Chelsea's Kings Road was the stomping ground for the hippest young things in town. Nowadays, the area is more conservative in its reputation - you'll share the immaculate pavements with affluent business people from around the world and plenty of blow-dried ladies of leisure. It attracts this set for good reason - it's very central and the period houses that line the streets are charming. Sloane Square...
