Blanketed on one side by Westfield Shopping Centre in Shepherd's Bush and the other by Kensington High Street, this contemporary flat is in a dreamy West London locale. The quiet neighbourhood means you'll have plenty of privacy, but you're still just a short stroll away from an array of shops, restaurants and cafes. You're also a ten-minute walk from Holland Park – a leafy, green space with a tranquil Japanese garden – and five minutes from Olympia London. Not a bad base for exploring the capital.

This is a bright and roomy flat, with large windows and an open-plan layout that's perfect for socialising. You'll find plenty of luxe touches inside – we love the plush velvet furniture and the glossy marble accents – but our highlight is the balcony. It's a sweet spot to enjoy your morning cup of joe or a glass of wine as you sprawl out on the rattan furniture, ideal for lingering, laid-back afternoons. Whether you're gathering for a homecooked meal around the dining table or drifting off after a long day in the swoon-worthy bedrooms, there's more than enough space here to spread out and get comfortable. We think it's perfect for a family or small group wanting a quiet spot that still has easy access to central London – Oxford Circus is a ten-minute tube ride away.
