This apartment might not be the most luxurious address in South Kensington, but that's more down to the ridiculous standards set by some of the other homes in this famously well-heeled corner of London. We can't really find much to fault with the interior here – modest, yes, but homely all the same. The best part, however, has to be the excellent location on Fulham Road. Here, you're only a short stroll from a huge number of critically adored restaurants, designer shops and some of the capital's best art galleries.

About South Kensington
