Arthur’s Sword

Nestled between South and West Kensington, historic Earl’s Court is home to this elegant flat. Five minutes from the busy tube and urban sprawl of the city, the organic colours of this home create a much-needed sense of calm. Think stone-coloured fabrics, marbled walls, and views onto nearby greenery. We love the huge windows in the living space, illuminating the modern, minimal decor and the striking art above the sofa. After a night’s sleep in the luxurious beds, why not have the host deliver breakfast to the door – excellent coffee, fresh pastries, and brunch options await you. If you’re in need of further pampering, they can also arrange wellness activities like an in-house massage or personal training session. After making the most of the indoors, take a stroll into West London for art, culture, and green spaces aplenty. Head out for lunch in neighbouring Chelsea, browse an exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery for the afternoon, followed by a tranquil stroll at dusk in Holland Park’s Kyoto Garden. On the way home, you’ll have to stop in for a whisky sour at a speakeasy-style cocktail bar in Earl’s Court – or a pint in a traditional pub if you want to drink like a local.


Home truths:
*Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, floor level, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
*There is no toaster in the kitchen, but breakfast delivered to your door is one of the add-ons offered by the host
*While the flat does have air conditioning, it's only available in the master bedroom and main living space
*With a bustling atmosphere on the main road, light sleepers might hear some noise from traffic at night
*If you'd like to stay in twin beds, the king bed can be separated – you'll need to request this in advance
