Ferns in Kensington

South Kensington puts you in the middle of one of London's most culturally rich neighbourhoods, and this apartment makes a solid base for it. The Natural History Museum is an eleven-minute walk, the V&A a fourteen-minute stroll, and Gloucester Road Underground station – with its direct Piccadilly line connection to Heathrow – is just six minutes away on foot. After a day spent in the city, come home to the comfortable living area to unwind with dinner and drinks – ready to do it all again tomorrow.

Home truths:
* This home is currently listed for sale, so there’s a rare chance your host might need to carry out viewings during your stay – advance notice would be given.
* While the apartment is on the ground floor, the rooms are set over two floors, so you'll need to be able to climb stairs here.
* One cupboard in the main bedroom wardrobe is locked and reserved for the host – you'll have the rest of the storage space to yourselves.
* There is no free parking near this home, so we recommend arriving by public transport or taxi. Gloucester Road Underground station is a six-minute walk, with the Piccadilly, District, and Circle lines all close at hand.
