Housed on the upper floor of a historic London pub dating back to 1852, this characterful apartment offers a comfortable, relaxing base from which to explore the city. You’ll immediately be transported back in time through the home’s original features, like the parquet floors, corniced ceilings and sash windows that bathe the whole space in light. We love the plump armchair that invites evenings over glasses of wine and the cosy dining nook that’s all set for intimate meals and sunny breakfasts alike. The bedroom is just as elegant with its ornamental fireplace and beautifully dressed king-size bed, while the bathroom beckons long, luxurious soaks under its rainfall shower. When you’re not soaking up the period atmosphere of your chic pad, go out and explore the nearby sights. You’re just a ten-minute walk from leafy Hyde Park, a fifteen-minute stroll from Little Venice and its waterside cafés and colourful Notting Hill is twenty minutes away on foot.
