Beautifully decorated, this apartment is a superb London base, ideal for couples or those in the City for business. A desk is tucked away in the corner of the open-plan living area, where there’s also a sofa bed for guest number three. We love the contemporary decor and the elegant dining space, not to mention the modern kitchen – though if you’d rather not cook, you’ll have your pick when it comes to pubs and restaurants. You’ll also be just a short walk from the Tube, and Kensington Gardens are nearby.
