The Victorian Manor

You'll find this charming basement apartment in a residential corner of Kensington. Conveniently located, it has direct tube links to Heathrow Airport and a number of London's most popular attractions. It's also a short walk from top spots like Hyde Park, Kensington Palace, and the V&A museum – not to mention an array of cafés, pubs and restaurants. This home is a perfect base for exploring London, with a full kitchen for home cooking and a private terrace with a dining table so you can take dinner outside. There's even a dedicated workspace so you can catch up on work, if you must, and a bathtub for ultimate, feet-up relaxation.
