Sat on a historic street, in a neighbourhood filled with quaint Georgian and Victorian buildings like something out of a Dickens novel, this home will suit those who want to be in an upmarket area. There's easy access to the Thames and you'll get to experience Chelsea's café and shopping culture. Immaculately presented, business travellers or couples travelling together would enjoy this fuss-free home. Interiors have a luxurious, cosy feel throughout and whilst the kitchen is smaller than some of our London pads, you have an upmarket gastro-pub located just below. Grab a quick bite to eat, or a crafty pint with the locals (including the occasional royal visitor, we hear). But no need to worry about noise – even on a bustling weekend, you won’t hear a peep once inside the apartment. And when it’s time to get your glad rags on (or buy a few), you’re just a short stroll from the stomping ground for London’s elite, Kings Road. Grab a sunny spot at one of over 40 cafes and restaurants along here for some lunch and people-watching, before hitting the boutiques on one of London's best shopping streets.

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...
