Wave From The Platform

This apartment might be in an incredible location in the centre of London, but no compromises have been made. The interior is sleek and stylish in all the right places, from the monochromatic kitchen with plenty of surface space for home-cooked dinners to the pair of gleaming white bathrooms.

The living room is also well-executed, with tufted sofas, a mid-century-inspired coffee table and subtle geometric wallpaper combining to make an effortlessly cool spot to rest up ahead of exploring the UK's capital.

And you'll find that doing just that is remarkably easy to do. Hyde Park sits seven minutes' walk at the end of your street, while the restaurants and bars of Notting Hill take under a quarter of an hour. Thanks to this excellent situation, you could very easily not step foot on the tube, but you're well-placed for stations too, meaning that most of London sits within easy distance — The British Museum takes twenty minutes to reach on the underground, for instance.

Home truths:
*The apartment's on the lower-ground floor, but there's a lift in the building to reach it
*A cot and high chair can be provided if required
*The building has staff working inside in case of any issues
*The lead guest must be over the age of twenty-five
*There's no private parking space, but Paddington Railway and underground station is just over five minutes' walk away
