Situated in affluent South Kensington, boarded by Knightsbridge, Chelsea, Notting Hill and Hyde Park, this effortlessly chic apartment is the perfect place to unwind at the end of a busy day wandering museums, cobbled streets and royal palaces. Inside, there's a real warmth with soft brown tones, dark wood flooring and vintage-style wallpaper. Through to the bedroom, where you'll find more bold choices when it comes to colours and prints. We love the classic look, with baby pink decor and draping curtains ensuring a restful sleep whenever you decide to call it a night. If business is on the agenda, you'll find a dedicated workspace in the living room for client catch-ups and calls. Fix together a hearty breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen, before mapping out a plan for the day. When you are ready to explore, Hyde Park, just twenty minutes away, is a lovely space to wander after a day spent shopping. Or look around the National History and V&A museums, a thirteen-minute walk from your door, for an afternoon of art and culture. Whatever you choose to fill your day doing, bookmark it with a totter into town and an evening of fine-dining in Covent Garden, less than a twenty-minute tube ride away.
