With Paddington Station a couple of streets away and the green expanse of Hyde Park a five-minute walk, this pristine apartment enjoys the best of central London. The surrounding streets are packed with global eateries and local pubs, and the Tube can whisk you into central London in around ten minutes. Pebble-grey and muted inside, this apartment is an oasis in the city. There’s plush dining for eight people, and enough room for the whole group to spread out in the living room. Each bedroom has bags of space – a rarity this close to the centre of London. But we love the orchids and white roses that add a touch of class to the luxe rooms.
