The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is synonymous with luxury. And it doesn't get much more exclusive than a Sloane Square postcode. First off, you couldn't possibly go to London without staying in a Victorian townhouse – the typical bright-red brickwork and white detailing on the building's façade is a charming contrast to the cool, crisp interiors. This modern flat oozes elegance and class the moment you step inside. From plush quilted dining chairs to a marbled bathroom, this traditional building offers an apartment fit for twenty-first-century residents. Away from the bustling city, you'll be welcomed home to a calming colour palette and large windows looking onto nearby gardens.

On your one-minute stroll to Sloane Square underground, you'll realise this is a perfect base to tour London in all its glory. As the square itself borders Knightsbridge, Belgravia, and Chelsea, you'll never tire of cocktails and culture. Check out an exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery (four minutes on foot) before an evening back at the flat – stopping en route to pick up deli nibbles and a bottle of fine English wine, of course.
