South Kensington is chic and exclusive – it’s a splendid part of London to call home. Staying in this apartment puts you right in the heart of this district, amid its restaurants, cafes, shops, and museums. You’ll be close to green spaces including Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, and can walk to the King’s Road in fifteen minutes. The apartment is on the first floor of a Grade II listed building next door to a filming spot for ‘A Fish Called Wanda’. The highlight of this home is the private terrace, which overlooks communal gardens – in warm weather, open the French doors and expand the living space. The single bedroom is accessible via a ladder, which won’t be suitable for everyone.

Home truths:
*Gloucester Road and South Kensington tube stations are a five-minute walk away.
*At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on a double sofa bed in the living room.
*The single bed is at mezzanine level so is not entirely private. This sleeping space is accessible via a ladder so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility.
*This home is not suitable for children and infants.
*There’s a laptop-friendly workspace here.
